The Girl with the Dancing Heart

There was a young freckle-faced GIRL who had a Dancing Heart,
infectious smile, and feet that twirled and whirled all the day.
Music sent her heart and feet spinning, jumping, twisting, dancing.
She knew who she was.
She knew what she wanted to do.
She went for the dream.
Her mother and father supported her all the way.
Soon she found herself enrolled in HIP HOP dance classes
at a local Community College.
And that is where the story begins.

She couldn't get enough of dance. She would dance her heart away in class.

She would dance her heart away in her living room.

She would dance her heart away on the prickly lawn.

and slippery gymnasium floors.

She would dance her heart away

in her programs at the close of dance sessions.

And everyone would watch the

Girl with the Dancing Heart,

smiling face, born-to-be dancer attitude.

She worked on her posture. She worked on her smiles and enthusiasm.

She worked on her exercises and tough dance moves.

Then one day the Girl with the Dancing Heart danced away from

HIP HOP,

danced away from her Maryland home.

She danced her way to Utah
and into a group of friends who loved to dance as she did.
She danced her way into
Ballroom Dancing.
She worked hard. She attended classes. She did her best.
She received recognition for her
Dancing Heart.

And the applause roared with spontaneity.

Everyone loved to watch her perform.

She made hearts dance!

The Girl with the Dancing Heart
