"the dance"

for a moment you feel that jumping up and down,
doing that Thriller moves,
enjoying your own steps,
to whichever song you like to dance to,
makes you feel alive.
and that's when you were doing the Tango.
maybe next time, you thought.
but then, you knew you lost count.
wrong timing.
missed a step.

with the right person,
catching up the steps become much easier.
if you are a beginner, don't bother dancing with an expert.
find your own league.
else, you will be stepping on her foot most of the time or vice versa.
and that's the last thing anyone would wish to happen on the dancefloor.
remember, your leather sole isn't soft my man!
her heels on your toe isn't a pretty picture either.

know the person you are dancing with.
find the right music.
choose easier steps.
if you can't do the Merengue,
start with 3 steps Salsa.

and still you find that difficult?
stick to jumping up and down.
you can never go wrong that way.
nobody gets stepped on.
choose any song you like,
anytime you want to get groovy.
simply pump up that MJ's tracks.

but no matter what,
always remember to keep dancing.
