Imagery of a whirlwind with inspirational dancers flinging their arms representing those who have overcome significant obstacles and challenges, in a black and white world, demonstrating that passion and determination can triumph over adversity _Anaya

And whilst you dance you loath to judge or hate Just extricate yourself from all of it You can only be inspirational when you dance There is no denying, far from the madding crowd which you’ll forget when you dance Let emotions untether through fair and foul weather let your arms take wing twirl in a whirl, trip the light fantastic when you dance Sultry are the bongo beats compelled are your hips to sway Catchy lyrics, spoken word, lip-synced, make troubles slip away To venturing verse, that tells a story, cheeky refrain and and all its glory Courageous chorus that stirs the soul, decorum, it's what you feel when you dance

This poem celebrates dance as liberation, emotional release, and artistic expression. It invites the dancer to transcend judgment and society—“far from the madding crowd”—and to allow movement to carry the soul through rhythm and story. Nice poem Anaya.

This is full of freedom and grace—beautifully captures how dance becomes a sanctuary from judgment and chaos. There's something wonderfully liberating in the repeated “when you dance”—like an incantation toward release and healing. Lovely work, Anaya!
