Dance like Yoncé, Inspire like Yoncé


As a dance choreographer, 

I become my students' biographer.

 

Every motion, every step

A clear notion to prep.

 

Lights blinding their fear

Empowered by the audience near,

 

Hearts racing as they wait,

Anxious because it's late,

 

The first beat gives a rush,

Everyone is at a hush,

 

Courage, commitment and character,

Dance as an unexpected adventure.

 

The music fades out,

Perfect without a doubt,

 

Front and center for the final bow,

They left me speechless, wow!

 

As I write their story,

I am in glory,

 

Strutting off stage,

Head held high,

 

The story's final page,

A memorable goodbye.

 

If asked who I am,

My dancers' it would be,

 

They make me who I am,

And who I want to be,

 

Flawlessly!
