Ballet Professor
Turn your head, bend your knees
Plea lower, stay on beat
Watch your counts, hold your form
Be the music and be the step
Breathe through your entire body but don’t drop your hold
Squeeze those abs and push up your sternum
Let the movement flow through
Don’t think, just smile
Let the beat move you
Don’t look as though it’s hard, make it look effortless
Turn and finish”
The sounds of a lesson
That voice that can go from soft too harsh within a count
The motivation to jump higher
The first person you hug when you come off stage
The first person after your mom of course.
