I hear from Valerie every January. She includes a postcard and a nice bookmark to keep me up to date on which moon is arriving. This year she included a nice note about her love of all things celestial which I really enjoyed. I'm thinking of assigning essays to people so we can get to know each other better. But - I'm not sure anyone wants me to share person info on the blog - so - I'll just let that brilliant idea wander off to the kitchen and see what's the easiest thing to eat.

Did anyone think that I would sneak one more dance notation video in? This is not dance - but it is a video - and I thought it would be fun to have my granddaughter learn it. She takes both voice and dance - so I thought it would appeal to her. It's from the movie Pitch Perfect - where Anna Kendrick is auditioning and she does a very fun percussion piece with a cup to go with the song.
On my last trip to Chicago, I pulled up the video and showed it to my granddaughter and asked her if *we* should learn it. Her eyes lit up. We had lots of fun.
If you have grandkids (or kids) this is a very fun song (and *dance*) to learn. There are many tutorials on YouTube - and some fun ones where a whole group of kids do it in a circle at a table.
LINK to the song in the movie - 1:15 min
LINK to a bunch of kids this one goes on for a while - the first 30 seconds are enough.
LINK to older kids this one is just 4 people - but they are really good. There are a gazillion CUPS videos on YouTube - both performances as well as tutorials.
