Dancing with the Family

Guest post of the week by Roscoe Harris
Dancing With The Stars is affectionately called DWTS in our house. We all love it for one reason or another, so we make it a point to not plan anything for Monday and Tuesday evenings. We usually pop a big bowl of popcorn for each of us and settle in to watch it together on cable tv Denver, CO.
I enjoy watching it because of the celebrity aspect of it. It's my guilty pleasure to watch the majority of them start out dancing as awkwardly as I do and then turning into ballroom divas and dynamos as the weeks fly by. My husband watches it for a few reasons. He really enjoys the chemistry between the three judges. He claims that is the main reason he watches but I have a feeling it may be the costumes the dancers wear too! The most important reason he watches along with us is because it is quality time we get to spend with our child.
Our ten year old daughter loves watching the professional dancers. She has had dance lessons for several years now and she enjoys watching the choreography and even imitating it at times. She will use her Daddy as her partner and it is definitely a Kodak moment to see her stern instructions when he has noodle arms or uncooperative feet. We all have different reasons for enjoying it, but truth be told, I don't think any of us would enjoy it quite so much if we weren't all three watching it. It is just the perfect family time for all of us. Hopefully it will not be canceled for a long time!
