Dance

Dance

I have been dancing
since I was young.
Point,
Flex.

From Ballet class 
to tap.
Shuffle 
Hop
Step,
Point,
Flex.

Moving to NYC,
and starting hip hop.
Pop it,
Lock it,
Shuffle
Hop
Step,
Point,
Flex.

Then, the grand style,
Broadway, like the show girls (just for 8+ year olds)
High 
Kick,
Pop it,
Lock it,
Shuffle
Hop
Step,
Point,
Flex.

Back to ballet,
suck in your stomach for the Nutcrackers.
Suck
In,
High
Kick,
Pop It,
Lock it,
Shuffle 
Hop
Step,
Point,
Flex.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
