Saving Face or Saving Grace

I was just trying to save face When I tripped on my own shoe lace To the floor face first Then up with a burst Break dancing was born from my grace

Congratulations on a winning limerick. Love the title, too. Like Melania on the escalator this week - sudden stop but she moves on without a fault.
