Hoedown Throwdown

Please welcome the Hannah Montana back-up dancers!!! YAY!!! Oh wait, let me rewind a little bit...

Our ward was planning a talent show for Enrichment. I've been working in Primary the last couple of months and I was enjoying my ignorant bliss about the talent show. That is, until I received a phone call from my friend, Angi, saying she signed me up for the talent show to do a dance with her and my friend Melissa. What?!?! I was trying my hardest to think of some excuse to get out of it, but not being able to come up with a good one I decided to bite the bullet and just go for it. Angi came up with the idea of doing the dance, Hoedown Throwdown, from the Hannah Montana movie. She was teaching it to her little girls and thought it would be fun if we tried learning it for the talent show. We prepared long and hard to learn the steps of the dance and we finally got it down. It was really fun to get together and learn the dance and actually fun to perform (even though I was so nervous). Everyone was supposed to wear eccentric, gaudy accesories, to the show, but not everyone got the memo-we tried though. We wanted to be dressed up since we were performing. We also wanted the audience to get up and try to dance with us so we wouldn't feel as stupid. We were surprised at how into it they got, and it took a little attention off of us thankfully.


Me, Melissa & Angi

Here's the video. Don't judge too harshly! Melissa was the most into it. Angi and I, on the other hand, were a little uncomfortable being up there trying to freestyle.
