Dance
The dance starts off simply A girl and a boy Stretching, Hoping they don't trip over each other's feet. They walk towards each other After a courteous nod The music starts She softly places her hand on his shoulder He, a bit bolder, tenderly grips her waist A chant of 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4 begins as they float around the room Basic figures and Ball changes slowly form into Natural Turns and Chasses Whisks, Reverse Turns, Closed Changes, Their dance grows more intricate, quicker as they continue on Three Steps, Progressive Rocks, Promenades Until they get to the most difficult move The Jump The Girl glides across the room Their heated gazes never parting He holds his breath as she bounds towards him She smoothly shuts her eyes and leaps Applause drowns out the music as it fades Her feet delicately meet the stage Their eyes meet yet again with a love they can barely contain And from that moment They know that they'll never need a new dance partner again -Taya Dennis, 2016, in honor of the Newlyweds, Kate and Chip Delashmitt |
