never could sign , but I do it all the time
Sing? I'm guessing? Though I'm amused at the idea of not knowing the sign language for stuff and just making it up.

My reenactment did not soothe her.

My mom's tone-deaf, and at least is aware of it (of course, she can't avoid it when her kids are giving her abuse for singing during Mass). Dad, OTOH, is a great singer, and the two of us love to sing along to his John Denver and Kingston Trio tapes in the car.
My brother's got his three kids really involved in music--I've bragged here before about the 15-y.o. nephew's playing six different stringed instruments as well as drums and piano, and the 12-y.o. niece is a wonderful pianist, cellist, and gorgeous singer as well. The 8-y.o. is more into sports, but he still takes drums and guitar lessons.

Ah, dancing. I have been known to remark "Do they have chips in their heads telling them what to do?" while watching people square dance, which tells you a little something about my physical coordination.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
See, square dancing I always liked. I'm much better at dances with steps.

Hee--we had square dancing lessons in 5th-grade PE, and boy, were they excruciating!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I can't do any hand-eye coordination stuff well, due to the Mixed Dominance, but I can roller and ice skate and swim and bike and jump rope. Never been much at cartwheels, but was great on the balance beam and the uneven parallel bars. I also did well at ballet and other dance forms.
I LOVE to sing and can do it badly. I am going to try to learn to play the ukelele this year. It's much easier than the guitar and then I could play with the BF.

Dancing - I hae no idea what I llok like - I just care what it feels like. And actual steps, well just like anything else it takes forever. I took ballet and modern dance in college. Most of the time I looked like a bear. I didn't really care, and I would take ballet again because tiny movements= big work. It felt good.
