This is why I love dance…

I cannot stop thinking about carousels for my next project.
Seriously. I woke up today and the first thing I thought of was an old wooden carousel and dance. And then I found this picture above.
Dreamy.

Guys, when I was little I thought I was EVERYTHING because I had this amazing Sesame Street record player that I would carry around everywhere I went. One day my parents gave me a stack of records with this song in the mix. 

What. Were. They. Thinking?

I was a toddler.
