    one of the things about doing vintage dance means that i curtsy fairly regularly, and in different styles based on the historical era. i’ve yet to fall on my ass doing a curtsy. doing an aerial during swing dance performances, however? yeah, been on my ass many a time…

    Oh come on. When you curtsy, you step back but you also lean forward. Much more likely you’ll face plant than fall on your ass!

    That said, even I can curtsy.

    Yep, leaning forward is key. (And I’m fairly embarrassed to admit I had to take square dancing in jr, high. Fun when you’re a full five inches taller than your partner.)

    Man. I am so jealous. I want to go to a Disney park so effing bad that I could cry… Like, fall on the floor kicking and screaming, old school kiddy fit the likes of which even my Queen-of-the-Tantrums 3 year old daughter has never seen. (How funny – I just looked up at the “Mom Blog Search” thing and in the search field it has typed “tantrum.” ….that’s eerie.)
    Anyway – I’m seriously jealous. Unfortunately, being broke, pregnant, and living in B.F.E. Oklahoma doesn’t exactly make it easy to get to either Disney park in the US. GR.
    I also think it’s hilarious that your daughter is curtsy-ing. My daughter just learned how to do the devil-horns hand gesture… She learned it from Spiderman. I did it to her yesterday and said, “Rock on, Gracie!” and she says to me in the cutest, but most argumentative tone I think I’ve heard from her this week, “Ugh. Mo-ohhhm. It’s not ‘Rock on.’ it’s ‘Go, web! Go!'” …Okay. Anyway, it’s fun seeing all the weird new things that kids do.
