My Grand Daughter in her "Hip Hop" outfitOne of the great things about living in a small town is the sense of community. You seem to know so many more people than if you were living in a larger town. In a large town or city you basically are familiar with people in your neighborhood, church or at work. You go to school functions but know very few other people other than your children’s friends. Where we live, my wife knows everyone! Me? I getting better.
My grand daughter had a dance recital the other night. It was at the High School auditorium and the place was packed. They had two shows, one at 4:00 p.m. and one at 7:00p.m. Between the two shows, I think at least ½ the town came to see it whether they had kids in it or not. Her dance teacher teaches each class, Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet, and Tap and had 4 different classes based on age. Going to the recital, all I really wanted to see was my grand daughter. I wasn’t too enthused about sitting thru all the other classes. I figured it was going to be a long night. It was so enjoyable! 22 routines, all ages, all skill levels. It was so well planned, it only took 54 minutes. All the kids did an awesome job! Seeing the smiles on their faces and sensing their pride of accomplishment was beautiful. The community had come together to celebrated the result of their children’s hard work through out the year. This was my first dance recital and I can’t wait for next year. My grand daughter can’t either!
