Hour Thirteen

Children will bounce off walls if their dance teacher tells them. (We don’t of course!)

Adolescents won’t do but so much, they don’t want to get perspired in case “dreamy” happens to pass by.

Some adults will sponsor funds for children’s tights rather than buy a pair for themselves. (Patrons are cool with me, not complaining.)

“Seasoned” adults count like this during warm-up exercises-” One, two, three, five, …eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, eighteen, etc.” (We reach thirty is less than three minutes this way.)

Dance classes without mirrored walls offer the best teaching environment sometimes. The only body they see is mine and my smile at their effort is all they need reflected. DMW
