"Dancers"

I am a dancer

I twirl, leap and spin

I jump, piorette, and tap

I am a dancer

I feel pain and fear

I feel defeat and failure

Yet I keep going

I smile, I practice, I perform

I feel happiness and joy

I have grace and beauty

I hear the applause

I perform and do my best

Sometimes I fail

I don't give up

For I am a dancer

I am brave and strong

I dance not for fame and glory

But for how I feel inside

I am happiness,joy,love & excitment

Strife, talent, joy,

Determination and beauty

I am a dancer

Dance Is Like Life

by Michelle Lyon

Learning to dance is like life.

You take baby steps,tiny leaps and jumps,

Someone's always there when you cry.

Things are starting to come together,

Your once new shoes are feeling softer and worn

Each delicate pointe is becoming more like an arch.

Leaps and kicks become stronger each time,

Soon you realize your every jump and kick is right,

The steps are fluid pouring out of a jar,

Everyday you're twirling into a new adventure,

Every dance you dance makes you a star.
