Dance
Dance
is my passion since I was four years of age,
After
my first class I knew it was what I wanted to do,
To
be a professional dancer is my main goal in life,
Leaping
on a stage in my pink ballet shoe.
When
I dance to the music it flows in my ears,
And
works right down to my toes,
I
run, spin and jump. Pirouette on pointe,
Sorry
I can’t help it that’s the way my body goes.
Costumes
made to measure, all sparkly and new,
Nervously
waiting backstage to go on and perform,
Butterflies
in my tummy all gathered up inside,
The
company run on together in our ordered form.
Performing
on stage with cameras and lights,
A
face full of make-up and hair held up tight,
Choreographed
routines danced with grace and poise,
An
excited full audience is always a pretty sight.
So
when I grow up what would I like to do?
Be
a professional dancer in lots of productions,
I
have to work and practice daily,
Listening
to the choreographers and following instructions.
