1. No matter what dance she is doing or what song is playing, she always kicks out her left foot every two or three beats. As she kicks is out (similar to Minnie Mouse's hot dog dance, but Kaelyn has been doing this dance long before she started watching Ms. Mouse), she glances down at it and throws her hands out to the right. Very complicated.
2. If the song has a slow tempo or slows down at any point she immediately goes to "toes" and shows off a little ballet.
3. If the song has a very fast tempo or speeds up at any point she convulses violently and shouts "LOOK MOMMY! I DANCE DANCE DANCE FAST!" Just in case I hadn't already noticed her foaming of the mouth and eyes rolling around in her head wildly.
4. If the song has any sort of rap or R&B feel, sometimes even certain pop songs will spark this, she raises her arms to her chest height and then bends them at the elbow so that her hands are almost touching each other directly in front of her body. Then she forms two little fists and bounces her arms up and down to the beat as her body sways from left to right. It looks a bit like she is imitating a gangster car that bounces to the beat of the song.
5. And her latest and greatest dance move, which she is trying desperately to teach Brandt is (in Kaelyn's own words) "Shake it." In this move the places her feet shoulder width apart, puts her hands just above her tushie and really moves her hips around. I walked in while she was teaching Brandt this move and here are her instructions: "Okay Brandt. Ready. GO! (hands on hips here) Shake, Shake; Clap Clap!" It is super simple but looks great!!
So what do you think? Do I have a future dancer on my hands??
