These three poems are really nice. As a dancer myself they made me feel very proud of what I do.

>Just to dance--
>just to let the music take you
>in a way that seems to make you
>feel suspended every time you leave the floor...
>
>Just to soar--
>in a moment free and aerial
>to rise magically ethereal,
>like an angel in a gossamer swirl...
>
>Just to whirl--
>and to nimbly pirouette
>into a twirling silhouette,
>high on pointe, with muscles taut down to your toes...
>
>Just to pose--
>with body sculpted, statuesque,
>to execute an arabesque,
>and with fragile, artful grace sustain your stance...
>
>Just to prance--
>to step in flawless syncopation
>with the corps in tight formation,
>marking time with every heartbeat, every turn...
>
>Just to yearn--
>to be poetry in motion,
>and, with disciplined devotion,
>to create a thing of beauty and romance...
>
>Just to dance!
>or

>A Dancer’s Prayer
>Dear angel, ever at my side
>Be there today, my feet to guide.
>Help me dance high, and light, and free,
>So everyone will be proud of me.
>May the judges be fair and the stages be spacious.
>In winning and losing let me be gracious,
>So that every dance I'll remember with pride.
>or

>~Dancer~
>I am a dancer
>I twirl, leap and spin
>I jump, pirouette, and tap
>I am a dancer
>I feel pain and fear
>I feel defeat and failure
>Yet I keep going
>I smile, I practice, I perform
>I feel happiness and joy
>I have grace and beauty
>I hear the applause
>I perform and do my best
>Sometimes I fail
>I don't give up
>For I am a dancer
>I am brave and strong
>I dance not for fame and glory
>But for how I feel inside
>I am happiness, joy, love & excitement
>Strife, talent, joy,
>Determination and beauty
>I am a dancer.
