"Because I Dance"
Because I dance doesn't mean that I am weak.
It doesn't mean that my "sport" is unimportant.
Because we (dancers) use tights and pink tutus.
Because we're dancers we sweat, and we work.
Because we're dancers simply means one thing;
We work until we simply cannot work anymore.
We work until our feet bleed, and our muscles are torn.
True athletes work until they simply cannot anymore,
And that is what dancing is all about.
by Sarah Forney
"Dancers"
I am a dancer
I twirl, leap and spin
I jump, piorette, 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 & excitment
Strife, talent, joy,
Determination and beauty
I am a dancer
