So You Think You Can’t Dance: WHO CARES?

Once again yesterday, I got a lesson from my son, who’s been practicing ballroom dance in his man-cave.

Hey – remember when you wrote about Adam desperately needing new moves? Obviously you made sure that happened! Looking GOOOOOOOD!

There is nothing more delightful than watching someone engage in unabashed enjoyment. Thanks for sharing your son with us for a delightful moment!

Martha! Thanks for sharing Adam’s joy of dancing. My niece, Naomi, is similarly talented. She’s the self proclaimed ROCK AND ROLL CHICK and dances with abandon daily. We rock out often together… she keeps me smiling!

I will take your suggestion to heart as I perform in my recital this Saturday. I WILL dance as if no one is watching! Keep movin’, Adam! We KNOW how much fun it is!

When I watched this, I experienced pure joy that carried me for the rest of the day that kept me free from any rediculous noise from creeping in. Thanks for sharing this with us Martha and for Adam for teaching us how to be free :)

I didn’t know men learned these kinds of moves in man-caves?!! Holy Crap! My man will be spending much more time down there and I am throwing in a Donna Summer CD next time! xoxoxo

So much to see here! Lovely messages abound in this brief video and my favorite is that Adam can teach us to dance through life better people if we’re open to his teachings!

I think anyone who enjoys this clip would appreciate the documentary “Mundo Alas” about a performance group in Argentina. Adam gives the tango star from this tour a run for his milonga! check out the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wP8auSIh5w

I loved this video – reminds me of my muse, the dancer Byrne Miller. She taught dance and brought dance to the deep South in the 60s – and loved the Snoopy saying, if you can’t dance, at least have a happy hop!

Clearly all of my guys need to be banished to their man-caves, NOW!!! None of them move this well, but then neither do I. :)

Of course, the best part is the smile.

Namaste,
Sandy

I just reread “Expecting Adam” so I was interested to see how he looks now. I swear, this is the absolute truth, about three seconds in I fell in love. My stomach actually did a little flip.

It must be the angel factor! God Bless Adam and thank you for sharing this wonderful video!

Wow, Adam’s a great dancer!
I feel I have already got to know him because I have read so many stories about him in your books.

I’ve always wanted to tell you that, like Oprah, I go to your article first when I get a new O magazine. And, like Oprah, I think you are the most intelligent woman on earth. Actually, ‘intelligent’ isn’t the word; you are wise. Your books and articles have meant so much to me. I have been printing out your articles published on the Oprah Website, and I’ve got quite a collection now!

I love you to bits, Martha! Please keep showing us the Way.
