i said TOO because you are a dancer as well as a poet. I just bet you are brilliant!

Ha ha ha! IDK brilliant is about a genius to me and no one (that I know of) has every charged me with this adjective about anything. I have my islands of shining but that is all. I’m just in the pool splashing with the rest of you. It’s so fun to learn from each other, is not?

Wait... how did “TOO” get into this. I’ve just been so fortunate to do more than one thing. Thanks for the read Andrea.

I can relate to this delightful senryu, Edlynn. My granddaughter, apart from sciences, lives for ballet. She has recently been accepted for a summer course at Rambert's in London; you can imagine how excited she is about it! She finished grade 6 last year. ~ Regards // paul

I danced with San Francisco Ballet starting at 8. Then I taught ballet, performed, choreographed, for about 12 years while I was director for science research. Then I became a teacher. Every 10 to 12 years, I do something new. I had so many dancers that would have something go amiss in rehearsals. Bad rehearsal, good performance!

So sweet...reminds me of my granddaughter who often miss placed a shoe or tights before ballet. : )

I use to teach ballet to four year olds (well 4- adult ballet) and they were so funny! Hopefully, any who have even been to these performances can relate! Thanks for reading it Connie.
