I shouldn't reveal this and I don't like to brag, but I'm teaching Apolo Ohno and Julianne Hough how to breakdance...
Apolo and Julianne are making special guest appearances on this seasons Dancing With The Stars. They both wanted to learn my style of breakdance, so I was eager to help them out.
After all, I'm a dancing machine too, you know.
Owen, were you dancing in the street last night - around 10pm or so? It looked like you.

Mr. Bentley,
My life has changed since you've been my dance instructor. I've never seen anyone move the way you do. (Let's not tell Julianne about our private lessons!) You have such grace and poise.
Your break dancing is also admirable. It has such flare and excitement. When you dance, I see the joy and determination in your face to make the crowd "ooh and ahh".
Thank you for being my inspiration. If it wasn't for you, I never would have won Dancing With The Stars. I think you should start your own reality game show. "Dancing the Owen K. Way!"
Love,
Apolo

Grandfather H: Yes, I was dancing in the street last night. Summer's here and the time was right for dancing in the street, Grandfather :)

Apolo: Aw shucks, Apolo. Your comment was so nice it made me blush. Unfortunately, whenever I blush, people think I need a diaper change.
Oh, since I didn't charge you for the dance lessons (what are friends for) ...would you mind shipping me out a nice pair of ice skates? Winter will be here before you know it. Thanks in advance, Apolo :)

Owen, the nice thing about break dancing in the street is:
- all you need is music, sweet music
and...
- it doesn't matter what you wear
just as long as you are there

G-Ma: There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancin' in the streets

So, no worries for us when you go to your 6 month check up...when the doctor asks me if you've found your feet and try to suck on them, I can say, "yup, and he even knows how to break dance". I bet the doctor says "why don't we encourage standing alone and walking first."

Mommy: Don't worry. The Doctor knows perfectly well that I can dance. I taught HIM ballroom :)

Well, I'm surprised. I thought that curfew was at 10. The townsfolk must think that you're around 23. That's acceptable.
And I have to say, you dance better than I did at your mommy's wedding. With all of your talents, have you ever thought about going for the Guinness Book of World Records?
I bet you could do it.
Let me know, OKB.

Owen K.
I'm completely impressed by your dancing abilities. Ya know, I did dance for ten years. Maybe you and I can put a routine together at the Labor Day picnic? We'll show the family what we're made of.
Such a young Fred Astaire!

Uncle Vito: You're being too humble. Rumor has it that you cut rug at Tracy's wedding. And, I heard you were quite good!

Auntie: I think I got my dancing genes from you and Godfather :)
I would love to do a dance with you and Vito at the picnic. Let's fire up Y.M.C.A -that should be a real show stopper :)
