"Thanks" largely to my dearest cousins, I've been wangled in to teach little kids to dance. Dance to the tune of Christina Aguilera's "Candyman", no less!

[Now, don't even ask (me, anyway) why "Candyman" is an appropriate song for preschoolers to dance to. It isn't. I had no say in choosing the song. I think it's way too obscene for public airing, let alone for little kids to dance to. But I digress.]

Me. Teaching. Kids. Dancing.

It happened so fast, I didn't even realize what sort of trouble I'd gotten into. And anyway, I wasn't exactly in the position to say no.

BUT, contrary to all expectations, it's actually quite fun!

I'm not a good dancer, not by a long shot. Heck, I'm not even an adequate dancer. But the moves are so simple and basic, they could have been examples from "The Dummies' Guide To Dancing".

Plus, it's a good way to sweat.

Watching those little girls remember all the moves and nail them down perfectly on cue is so satisfying! They're all cute little things, really.
