A Message for New Dancers
May is a time for graduations for many school
children and also for many of our dance classes. The
Winter and Spring classes have produced a new band
of eager dancers to perform during the busy exhibition
season.
I ran across the following prayer for new dancers
that I have seen adapted for many dance forms.
It has a great message for the new dancer that also
applies to all cloggers as a lesson in dancing -- and in
life.
A Prayer for New Cloggers
May you dance as long as you want to
and want to as long as you can.
May your toes never stop tapping
to the beat of a bluegrass band.
May you never forget the struggle
when your lessons finally are through.
May you always reach back with a helping hand
that someone extended to you.
May you never be a know-it-all dancer
and there’s no more left to learn
In the midst of the muddle,
come out of your huddle,
Could be you made the wrong turn!
As long as you’re dancing, enjoy it
and the friends that you’ll make before you’re done
With a smile and a song, just shuffle along,
‘cause you’re clogging my friend for fun!
Happy clogging!
I know I’m still learning to clog,
but steel toed shoes... really?
