S. doesn't watch TV as a rule, however we have allowed him to watch some dance on TV when I am watching any of my dance/reality shows. He is mostly uninterested, though break dancing might hold his attention for a few seconds. Anyhow, we were at a friend's tonight watching the So You Think You Can Dance finale and S. was intent on destroying the host's house depsite the pounds of books and puzzles I'd brought along to entertain him with. The dancing on TV was entirely uniteresting to him. That is, until, the cast of Criss Angel's/Cirque Du Soleil show "Believe" came on in their creepy rabbit-ghost outfits (were they rabbit-ghosts or ghost-rabbits? dunno.) Then we heard "Yay! Dancing rabbits!" Hands clapping. "Yay! Dancing rabbits!" Nothing could have made him happier than the dancing rabbits. They were kinda creepy dancing rabbits, but that apparently didn't bother him. For the record here is the piece of dance that actually held my child's attention and delighted him:

Perhaps he will be a modern dancer after all.

Actually, the piece looked like something right out the Animal Masquerade we performed at last year. Seriously. However, S. found mommy as elephant much less amusing that the dancing rabbits on TV>
