Music begins to pulsate through the room.
First position. Grip the bar. Ankles bend. Feet stretch. Arms above our heads.
Imperfections are not allowed here.

Filled with a rhythm that everyone can see.
Plie. Sashay. Potaboray. Across the floor.

Suddenly there’s a burst of energy in the room.
Clean cut movements. A new attitude is presented.
Toes tapping, fingers snapping, head bobbing
Beads of sweat hit the ground.
