Dancing & Writing Hand and HandDancing and writing are two special ways to express thoughts and feelings. They are both gifts that many of us share to get us through a bad day, a sad time period in our lives, as well as great times that we encounter. On November 16 I asked the class to execise their mind past normality and that is exactly what happened. Several songs were played and everyone danced. Afterwards everyone was asked to write a poem about how they were feeling and the following are the creative results....

Traveling Back
Sweet Memories of Foxtrot. Remembering the 50s romance, closeness, promise. Music is the reason why we come together. by Donna Hardy.................... Forever catches yesterday a rhythm in the mood, A love of sorts, created from that magic afternoon. A smile passed through their lips, as they played tunes with their hips, The memories they'll share again, tomorrow's coming soon by Bryant H..................Dancing with stereo in my arm. Wearing a tux and dancing at the prom with my date in a red dress. Dancing close to the speaker following it's rhythm, dancing with my date like we are all alone doing the wild dance, doing the wild danceat the playroom club seeing variety people doing their own funky dance. by Daniel Girard |
Rhythm
Bodies moving with the rhythm fast slow some in between there is a beat, can you find it? Catch it! There it is, now it's gone, Too late you lost it. by Louisa..................Feet Ankles, Knees, and thighs. Show me your dance and I'll show you mine. Don't be shy, you get one chance. Tootsie roll if you can dance. by Austin.......................Laughing, remembering the times.-Spinning and twisting all around.-Is everyone looking at me?-No, everyone is just having a good time. by Adrien Moskowitz ..........................Slow unethusiastic but trying to see what everyone else seems to see. I laugh but feel afraid of what everyone else will see in me. Blind to criticism is what I crave to be. ~Anonymous |
Dance to Live or just party?
Dancing back in the day. Back at "club no" seems so far away. I was so cool when I danced in my teens and now that I'm older it's much more embarassing. by Corinne.........................Half these songs made me freaky, the others made me think bact to my ninth grade formal and getting my first kiss. Most of these songs share moments of growing up in Texas & Cali clubs there and about my past & ever increasing love. by King Zechariah Could I live if I would not dance My soul would die In my heart a lance To live full and rich would be a lie by Vassil....................... |
