Dance..

It is like a slow dance..
It is like a beginner Waltz..
Back and Forth, Forth and Back..
One step forward, One step right..
One step backward, One step left..
Step after step, Dancing around the same square..
Spin after spin, Twirling around the same spot..
Keep the distance, Keep the square..
Keep the elegance, Keep the pride..
When the music stops, so does the people, so does the step, so does the dance, so does the chance..
No risk, no lost; No risk, no gain..

My ballet teacher once told (or yelled at) me, "Dance, dance freely, dance bravely, dance like no one is watching, dance like there is no limit! Dance around the dance floor and quit dancing on the same spot!"

A beautiful, elegant, solo ballet utilized the entire dance floor. Why do the beginner Waltz?
