My talented grandson

Well, that could be an ambiguous title, since I have THREE very talented grandsons. But in this case, I am speaking of Michael Edward Davis - age nine. Michael loves to dance. One of the first things he did when he could walk was make up his own little dance. It wasn't random steps - because he would do the same little series of steps over and over.

Michael is in the cast of the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival this year - in the dance troupe.


He tried out for the talent show at his elementary school and his "folk dancing to traditional Irish music" was selected. The talent show was today - two performances. I went to the 1pm show and he was so great. I had to sit through 32 other not so great performances (ha!!) to get to him - but it was worth it.


I have posted his dance on YouTube and here is a link for you to go watch it.

Not only is Michael a very talented dancer - he is also a wonderful artist. Here is a picture he made in art class at school which was selected to be submitted to the Tulsa School District competition. I think it is really cool (well, duh).


Getting back to dancing - as part of the dance troupe at Faire, he is required to ask patrons to join him in the dances - AND - teach them the dances. Some adults have demurred and commented, he's just a kid! Well, not only can he do the dances, he also has led many other people as his partner.



I wasn't at the Masqued Ball, but apparently he danced a number of ladies around the ball doing a fine waltz! Boy, is he going to be a popular prom date - LOL!!

That's the end of this Mima bragfest.
