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!
