You Can't Stop the Beat

So I started teaching a teen tap class this year. At first they were all so quiet and shy. Now that they are opening up, I wish they would be shy again. Anyway, did you know that 7-9th graders don't know how to make a circle? They just stared at me when I said, that's not a circle. I mean, I get it, they are growing and have no control over their limbs, but apparently they also have no spacial recognition. The worst is that I remember this horribly awkward age....and I maybe had some pretty huge bangs during that time too. At least their hair is better. However, I'm willing to bet that in several years that will look back and pictures and their kids will say, "mom, where are your pants?"
