Ode to Dance


Ode to Dance

Beginning with blood and blisters in ballet
To tutus and tights in a small theater
Artists learn different forms of creativity
Being taught tap and jazz from a teacher
This art evolves to hip hop and contemporary
Bringing sweat with sparkles and glitter
Along with more and more abstract choreography
Buns and bobby pins, practice and pain
On stage, dancers compete with tricks and technique
Adrenaline in lights, judges and jazz,
Until the time limit is reached, the team continues
When the competition is done, the art continues
Back to the bar, back to the ballroom,
To the buns, to the hairspray,
The exercise of dance expands and endures.
