DNA of years of discipline, pain,the definition of dance,

A gift to the eyes with a price to be paid.No longer their

So that the sacrifice commands ovation and rapturous applause.

Diva for the few whom with Nature’s blessing bleed the most,

Driven and hungry.Strength and power in the humility of the

Troop who synchronise and ebb and flow in the creative tide of the

Unsung choreographer.And the Diva smiles for their wish is your capture!

That on leaving their centre stage we will remember only they,and we bathe in

the shades of

Life enacted,in chapters of expression,and mixing pots of excitement,passion

And sensuality and time in its necessary brutality brings the curtain down.

Hot latino sweat flies across stage, each and every drop the

DNA of years of discipline, pain,the definition of dance,

A gift to the eyes with a price to be paid.No longer their

Flesh and bones but given to the asking of the drum, calling

Of the voice, answering without question,giving of the self

So that the sacrifice commands ovation and rapturous applause.

Diva for the few whom with Nature’s blessing bleed the most,

Driven and hungry.Strength and power in the humility of the

Troop who synchronise and ebb and flow in the creative tide of the

Unsung choreographer.And the Diva smiles for their wish is your capture!

That on leaving their centre stage we will remember only they,and we bathe in

the shades of

Life enacted,in chapters of expression,and mixing pots of excitement,passion

And sensuality and time in its necessary brutality brings the curtain down.
