Some Men Just Gotta Dance ~ jazz hands and all….

Musical Theater Dance Camp.

That’s where I just deposited my six year-old son.

Joe, along with the musical director’s, Katie Anderson, son McCormick were the only boys in their age group.

A year ago, I probably wouldn’t have been dropping him off, but for the last six months he has been taking hip hop ~ and loving it.

Joe can move.

I recognize this because I’m a mover too.

Last weekend at the AWESOME Randall Bramblett concert at the Cultural Center, I couldn’t help but move in my seat. You hear good music; you move. It’s reflexive.

By the way, in my son’s hip hop class this year there were four boys and a girl.

In talking with Katie and Pointe of Grace business manager, Carol Anderson, we came up with lots of great examples of men we love to watch dance. Gene Kelly, Baryshnikov and Christopher Walken. Carol remembered Patrick Swayze and John Travolta.

Long belong strutting the floor in black suit with Uma Thurman, I remember the John Travolta in white three-piece suit. I so wanted to sneak into the theater to witness Saturday Night Fever ~ just to watch him dance.

Most women wouldn’t refuse a turn with a man who knows his way around the dance floor.

That kind of dancing takes training and study. No matter the ratio of girls to boys in your class.

Christopher Walken, freaky evil guy in movies — the man who wanted “more cowbell” and more recently portrayed “Colonel Something or other” on SNL — started out as a dancer, training in musical theater.

You don’t believe me? Just watch this if you haven’t seen it.

Or watch it again if you have, it’s that great.

Some men just gotta dance…Thank goodness.
