Couldn't stop the eye roll

I'm not especially proud of it, but today at toddler music class when the teacher put her hula hoop around me and tried to make me twist and shake more than I already was...I eye rolled her. I know right. I'm a horrible nanny. But I mean honestly?? What was the purpose of this? This class is not for me, but for the wee one I have in toe and he was dancing, grooving and socializing away! For the record, I was singing all the songs and dancing all the dances she demonstrated like a good nanny. I don't despise going to these classes. I realize how important they are for the kiddos developmentally and socially as well as for the sanity of the parents;) If the kiddos are enjoying it than I'm making an effort to enjoy it as well. I'm pretty sure that my eye roll was caused by the teacher choosing to single me out-without child mind you, he was running around with his hula hoop having a splendid time, in order to encourage me to give more to this class. I basically felt like she was calling me out saying, "Hey you! You don't look engaged enough so I'm going to put my hula hoop around you and dance with you." Maybe I'm being a bit crazy here, but I would rather her focus her efforts on getting the kids excited and motivated more than on me. Is this a weird thing to think? Perhaps. I'm not a mom yet, but feel like I do a pretty good job of making a boob out of myself in front of kids with no embarrassment. I don't feel that I was slacking in my effort today. So for future music classes, please don't try to hoop dance with me music lady.
