Ayodele Casel at the Joyce Theater

Of all the types of dance there are Across a world-wide map, My very favorite one, by far, Is any type of tap. There’s something ‘bout those quick short moves With that staccato sound That gets me into happy grooves When tap shoes are around. Today we saw the final show Of a two week tap dance run. The joy on stage produced a glow Which covered everyone. I wore a ninety-minute grin And didn’t have my fill. I couldn’t keep my feelings in; My feet would not stay still. It was a privilege being there, My husband by my side, To soak up such delight (so rare!) That tap dance can provide.
