My daughter Marissa loves to dance and is quite a good dancer. She inherited her dancing ability from my wife Angela.
Angela encouraged Marissa to dance from a very early age. I recall fondly how she would swing our daughter around the living room over and over to the song "Dancing Queen". The two of them filled our living room with laughter and joy each time they danced together. Because of that, our daughter has always loved all types of dance, and she took classes in Irish dance, hip-hop, jazz and more.
I love music, and I will dance occasionally, but my dancing is awful! Every time I try to dance, two things get in the way: my feet.
A couple of years ago, Marissa was a bridesmaid in a wedding that my wife and I attended. It was a beautiful wedding on a bright spring day. At the reception, my daughter was dancing away. I was sitting at a table minding my own business when she talked me into dancing with her. That means she begged me to get off my chair and out on the dance floor.
When we got out on the floor, the DJ's music took over my body. The problem was that it missed my hips and feet. I tried my best. As I began moving to the beat, I gave myself a silent encouraging talk. I thought of that famous phrase: Dance like no one is watching. That didn't work! Everyone was watching. My brother-in-law was laughing so hard that I thought he would fall off his chair.
I tried my best to keep up with my daughter's moves. Unfortunately, I was always at least two steps behind. She was performing a move, and I was just a fool! Her "Hips Don't Lie", and my hips didn't even know what to say. If she was the dancing queen, then I would have been the court jester (小丑). I think you get the picture.
