He's talented. The end. Truth be told, children who take gymnastics are pretty much dancing and doing something that will do little to enrich their lives as they become adults - let's face it, there isn't room for many Gabby Douglas', and if you asked her parents what putting her into gymnastics as a child was about, they would probably say it was to keep her "busy"... and it's possible that his dancing does the exact same thing.
I don't see anything wrong with this. Maybe he'll be a dancer. A choreographer. Whatever it is, do it! I'd rather see little black boys dancing, than shooting and cussing and acting a damned fool. They could be teaching him that "men don't dance". So, this is a step up.
He sure was Gettin It...I'll give him that! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe did that there!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice job. I hope he keeps this up.
ReplyDeleteThe dancing is good but there is still a need to know those science & math facts as well as being able to read a contract, etc.
ReplyDeletekudos!
ReplyDeletebut he is only cool if he ALSO reads...see?
we do best what we do most often
and too many black kids dance ONLY
shame!!!

how hard would it be to open one of these dancing/singing kids' videos with the kid reading/writing???
ReplyDeleteguess why we never see that?
and listen to the pookie audio?
ReplyDeleterole models?

ReplyDeletehe is an awesome dancer
but i hope he can read as well as he dances
so that someday he can read and complete an application to college/alvin ailey etc
BOTH are necessary
