Drowning myself
in this bitter concoction
music grinding in my ears
my heart palpitated
My right foot
tapping to the beat of the music
mounting excitement
I finally stood
I twirled
my arms flailing
gyrating hips
eyes closed
Sweat pouring
a carefree feeling
tense muscles loosen
I missed grooving to upbeat music
I do not have
the gracefulness
of a ballerina
but I can dance the Rumba

I love to dance as well. Music is an outlet for me to relax and just be myself. I would have loved to pursue a dance career when I was younger. I love to watching people dance and express themselves. Love this poem.

Thatβs great! Dancing is art too. I love movies that have lots of dancing.

The Rumba will do just fine. Whatever makes you free and happy. Classical dance makes the unnatural look natural and modern is all about bodies letting be: slapping around somehow gracefully.

I like your thoughts on this though I appreciate all kinds of dance be it classical or modern.
