I wanted to tap-dance...that, and be a jockey! :) I've always had some
random ambitions...but I remember putting on my
patent leather sunday shoes and trying to
teach myself how to tap-dance in our driveway. Haha! Now that I'm imagining it, I'm wondering what our neighbors saw as I'm pretty certain that what I was doing was
NOT resembling tap-dancing!
Growing up,
Singing in the Rain was one of my favorites...and I
have had a wee bit of a crush on
Donald O'Connor...so as I was working last night, I put in the movie and was fighting an urge to
look for my patent leathers and give it another go. :) I've traded in my tap-dancing dreams for others, but this still remains as one of my favorite movie scenes...so it only seemed fitting to
share it with you! :)
Happy Thursday.

this scene is so funny! I love it too! i guess we just gave the world more proof that we are total nerds that we are such fans of old dancing musicals!
oh wow! that is amazing! i think next we need a vlog of YOU trying it out :)
haha!! yes!! my sister's patent tap shoes became my sunday shoes when she grew out of them, and I'd practice my tap dance in the church hallways! finally my mom took the taps off, i was *that* good! and this movie is the BEST!
:D Made my night!
Rebekah, speaking of nerds, I just learned in my Reminisce magazine this month that "Singing in the Rain" just had it's 60th birthday.

Love this and always will!!!
Haha....I wish I could have seen you in the driveway! ;) I truly do think tap dancing is so impressive and cool, though....you are not alone in your dream. :)
yaaah! I introduced this movie to my 2 year-old. As expected, she loved it... and started stomping her feet as I explained tap-dancing.
:)
And I think I still have a little crush on him...
