So You Think You Can Dance, Hey?

This is a humours attempt towards the show, So you think you can dance. I do 
quite like the show and just wrote something that tried to show different angles of 
genres of dance and the difference between, getting in over not getting in. Hope 
you enjoy, let me know what you think :-)




So You Think You Can Dance, Hey?

 

If my talent was the samba and

I had a sexy partner.

His shirt, would be seductively

Unbuttoned.

No nerves for us while stretching

Before, four judges

Watch eager

Nevertheless, with enforcing eyes.

Our song pumps out of the over-used

Speakers, our hips

Sway together 

In time and imitating

A bond.

Telling a story.

Backstage the host asks 

"Is it enough"

And so a silent prayer

Our dream 

To come true.

 

"It has been 7 month's since I started Ballet classes and I believe I'm ready"

Pivot and turn gracefully

I do, with my hearts

Content. 

Extending my arms and legs

I show heart

Softness.

Lacking in experience leaves me

No option

Must work harder.

Come back next year. 

 

If me, was only

To hip hop and pop and lock

Showing I can

hit that beat.

Then be it me,

To for thirty seconds

dance as tight as I ever

have before.

Not missing a single note,

Flip or drop.

Ending with a dramatic

Body thumping acted fall.

Judges scream in response.

Wowing them and a ticket instantly,

Handed over. 

Adrenalin surges while rushing

Out to the waiting room

Screaming with a slight disbelief,

"I'm in, I'm in."

 

Take whatever shape

Your craft.

You have been chosen,

The Journey just now to begin!
