Dude,
I can
tell you
love
to dance.
I like to
dance, too.
But I’m
new to your
class and to
the steps
of your
routine.
I’m not used
to freeform
but find myself
more often than
not, improvising
to the point of
marching in place.
While I patiently
wait for you to take
it down a notch,
emerge from being
in the zone, to a
sequence that I can
actually
follow.
