The Dance Recital

The dance recital showcased 
Hip-hop, jazz and yes, ballet.
The costumes and the music 
Put much talent on display.

From pre-schoolers up to college,
All their hard work guaranteed 
That they’d entertain us beautifully
And they sure did, indeed.

We were focused on our grandchild
And she nailed her every move,
Smiling ear to ear as we were
Watching her get in the groove.

For my first time in the theater
Since we first felt Covid’s bite,
I was thrilled with this production,
Such an absolute delight.
