This is for all of you long-time, frequent viewers of Good Morning Utah...

A lesson on the theory of "chair-dancing"... and some helpful "how to" tips.  I started doing the Friday morning chair-dance soon after I began anchoring the news.  I'm sitting there, behind a big desk... and the thought occured to me... "Mckay... have some fun!"  It was just a subtle way of putting a smile on my face and saying, "yeah...  made it through the week again!".  Problem is...I don't want to be the only one to acknowledge it's Friday... the weekend's here... and we're all in a good mood.  I think I've converted our weather guy, Todd Gross.  He's giving it a good, although geeky try.  Now, if I could just get Erika Edberg to see the light.  (Get with the funk... morning show momma!)  For me... I think it all goes back to the fact that I'm a disco refugee.  I'm not ashamed to admit it.  (I think I still have a pair of "Angel Flight" slacks in a trunk somewhere).

First... the theory.  Simple!  It's Friday... and by the simple fact it is Friday... you're in a good mood, right?  Get breakfast made... get the kids ready for school... brush your teeth, etc.... all while letting your body get into the groove.  All while watching Good Morning Utah!

Now.. the lesson.  Sitting at your breakfast table, or even while you're getting dressed... start off with the head-bob.  Then, maybe let your shoulders sway a bit.  Then, bring your arms and hands into action.  No rules.... no right or wrong to it.  Just feel it.  Best part is.. you don't have to worry about moving your feet and stepping on someone's toes.  Actual music playing doing a chair-dance is a nice touch... but not necessary. 

The Friday morning chair-dance.  My gift to you...

Until next time...
