I had no idea that preschool dances were a thing, so I didn't even have any preconceived notions of what we would discover when we got to the JCC where Michal goes to preschool. With Josh at a work conference all weekend (and a bit beyond), Sivan was my Plus One. What was in store for us? Would they play Old McDonald Had a Farm or Gangnum Style? I figured the lights would only be dimmed so much, but beyond that, it was a new experience.
It was fairly crowded. Michal was handed a glow in the dark necklace at the door (I should have anticipated that), and there were kids frenetically moving all over the place. Some running, some dancing, a bunch chasing balloons that were only filled with air, and somehow the chase sent kids flying through the air, skidding in party shoes that allow no traction. Michal was in this last bunch. I'm not sure how many times she lost shows or went flying headlong into an unsuspecting three year old
Still in her shul clothes from services that morning - she refused to take them off all day - she wanted to be ready to dance in style.
She looks like she is enjoying this necklace, but really, I could barely keep it on her. She wanted it OFF.
Swag!! Someone came around at one point and handed out maracas.
All in all, it was a really fun evening. Michal got to hear all her jams play - at one point, as she passionately sung along to Roar by Katy Perry with arms flung akimbo, a woman standing nearby mentioned something about my musical, dramatic child. Yes. Yes she is.
Can't wait to see who Sivan grows to be. Hopefully we'll get to revisit this preschool dance thing in a few years when she is in school.
