Hey guys, this is a picture of my mom at my cousin's wedding last June. As you can see, she is a phenomenal dancer, she really knows how to get low and work it out. Some of her favorite dance moves include the dutty wine, floor sweeper and pop-lock-and-drop-it. No one is really sure what dance move she is performing here, but clearly it is one-of-a-kind and she is really feeling the beat. My mom normally dances with her eyes closed because that way she can truly feel the music and will avoid being distracted by less-experienced dancers around her. My cousin Matthew (the guy to my mom's right) would probably be a distraction to my mom seeing as he really is not performing any original dance move- it is your average "hands up" sort of movement. Music and dancing is a big part of my mom's life. When she's not gardening, finishing up home improvement projects or watching Dragon's Den, she loves to turn on the cd player and just let loose. She loves to dance and sing, especially when she has had a bottle or two of wine. Weddings are not the only places my mom enjoys dancing at, she always enjoys dancing and singing at home alone or while we are in the car and one of her favorite songs comes on. Hilary Duff or Coldplay are some of her favorite recording artists to dance to. She doesn't really like rap, but that's probably because she doesn't like black people. Her performances in the car aren't usually as impressive as her land performances due to space confinement and the fact that she has to keep her eyes open and on the road, therefore preventing her from really feeling the beat. My mom has seriously considered auditioning for "So You Think You Can Dance." The main reasons for which you haven't seen her on the top 20 yet is because she's one of the most selfless people on this planet. She understands that for some of the teens on the show, dancing is all they have going for them and she doesn't want to hog all the spotlight. Also, pets are not allowed on set and my mom feels really uncomfortable leaving Cheebah home alone for more than eight hours. Regardless of winning any titles though, my mom is a pretty well known dancer. She's been asked to perform in videos of Ja Rule, Ludacris, and 50 cent. Unfortunately, due to their skin colour she had to turn them down, but she's confident that in the future, more recording artists of Caucasian descent will invite her to perform alongside them on camera. My mom has a pretty busy schedule but when she's not teaching in the summer, she has been known to perform at birthday parties and other celebrations, so if you have a summer birthday, then you might just be in luck.***My mother is not actually racist. She is a loving and caring woman whose life goals include solving world hunger, meeting Queen Elizabeth before she bites the dust and performing live on stage at the Grammys as one of Lady Gaga's backup dancers.
