Dancers

By Lauren J.

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.

Congratulations AMBER for receiving an Academic Achievement Award from Galena High Sschool for the 2007-2008 school year!

FROM A SCHOOL TEACHER TO PARENT of DANCER:

Tiny Dancer

By Shaynee C.

A saxophone plays but all you can hear is the scent of magnolias

As the waves crash the watercolors drift up

Showing my heart’s desire

It will never forsake you

The angelic sweep of my feet against the sand

Squish squish

Drops of rain splash my face

That is when I figure out the meaning of my life

I have a message to show you

I will not tell you

You will have to figure it out

While I am dancing in the sand

I am the tiny dancer in your hand

Just to Dance                                           

By Lauren J.

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 gossamery 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

So I like my life but your life mite feel werd so jest get a unfe sleep and your life wote feel werd. The End!
