We all enjoyed watching Tessa do the "J-E-L-L-O" dance. She had a very fun partner, Trooper, and the two of them added a lot of personality. No one watching would have believed Tessa is a shy and quiet little thing. :)
Emma proudly performed the Island Stick dance. Her partner was Chandler, one of my favorite 3rd grade boys. Emma was happy that their little group of 4 took their dance seriously and practiced until they received praise from all 4 third grade teachers.
Noah was a true gentleman as he endured being bit and punched by his dance partner in the swing dance. I am still astonished that an 11 year old girl would have a biting problem, but Noah made the best of things by being kind and trying to just enjoy. His only regret was that his partner refused to let him "dip" her at the end. I needed to meet this girl to see if his stories were a bit inflated. And, no, I don't think they were. In trying to comfort him, I said, "Noah, what a pity she took you for granted. I would have loved being paired up with a nice boy who actually wanted to dance! One of these days she'll look back and realize how good she had it and feel horrible." His only response was to skeptically gaze at me...
I had to plead with her four times before she allowed me to photograph them....

When you first said Noah put up with biting for the dance, I thought you were joking. I can't believe she was biting him!! I don't even put up with it in my 1 or 2-year olds!
