Dance Secrets

Spin spin, turn turn,
Hold her close, hold her firm,
Then Streamline away,
And Side Step and Sway.

Feelin' the rhythm,
Music's for livin',
Keep to the beat,
Moves that repeat.

Between pairs it's fair,
To copy Ginger 'n Astaire,
If your partner can release,
She'll look like Charisse.

You gotta dance in special shoes,
So they'll know you paid your dues,
When a song's in your heart,
Your performance should start.

Always put beauty on display,
Leading in Form the proper way,
Hitch Kick and Hesitation,
Showing off, no reservation.

Gliding on ice 'cross the floor,
Passing Twinkles, so much more,
Spirals and Pivots, all you can do,
Stay to the Count the whole way through.

Now you know the secret of dance,
The lady looks good, nothing's to chance,
Affectionate sharing is what you do,
Together in life, for both of you.

Dance is something very special that two people can share, Greg. From your poem, it sounds like you might have taken lessons. It's a delight to read! Best wishes, Carolyn
