last weekend was the family 4H skating party, and i was looking forward to it so that i could improve upon last year. which wasn't a huge goal if you consider that it involved staying upright. yes, i resolved not to fall down this year; last year i fell so hard my glasses went flying. not a pretty sight...
it turns out that the rec center has been almost completely redone. they have a new maple floor instead of cement, new glow-up-in-the-dark carpet with the special lights, a new sound system, and new skates! new skates that are all cushy inside are almost as wonderful on my feet as new socks.
anyway, the YMCA song came on, so i thought, hey, i know how to do this. um...no i don't. apparently between the time the song first came out (yes, i was around for that) and now,
the arm movements have changed!
imagine my surprise!
and the embarrassment of my teenage daughter!
turns out the new movements are all done over your head, which is great for staying off the floor, as shown in this photo of a skater much better than me:
my question for you is, "did everyone know about the new YMCA song moves but me?" or is this only a roller skating version?
**edited to add: i have searched you tube and apparently i am the only one who was doing the arms wrong all these years...so turn up your speakers so i can't hear you laughing at me!!

I only know of the version with the letters above the head?
I only know the above the head movements as well... you will have to take pictures of yourself doing the other version to show everyone now! :)
I'm with you guys. Didn't know there was another version. Angie, don't tell me they changed the hokey pokey or the chicken dance too?
I totally used to scrap on the living room floor, until I moved out of an apartment and into a house ;)
