Watching the Dance

The dancers ranged from tiny tots In tutus meant for twirls To those performing hip hop moves Designed for older girls. There also were performances In modern dance and jazz, With everybody showing off Their talent and pizzazz. We watched the whole two hour show And clapped for each routine, But saved our cheering for the times Our granddaughter was seen. She nailed her hip hop attitude, Her ponytail a’sway And sparkled in the jazz part, Smiles and sequins on display. How special to experience A showing that reveals All the pride in an accomplishment And joy a grandchild feels.
