Dance of a Swan

Feathers float over her ballerina bun.

Artistic makeup adorns her fresh, pure face.

Her young dancers body is transformed into a fairy swan

with all its white flounce and silver sparkle.

She sits to slip ballet shoes in place.

All that's left to do is wait...

Act 2

Dance 2

By A Lake, Ballet

 from Swan Lake

Music by Tchaikovsky

Peoria Ballet Company Academy Performance

We sit enraptured through the magical show.

Every dance and each graceful movement on the stage

sweeping us along.

Then, finally...

There She is...

Our Beautiful Swan.

Dancing.

So many emotions.

So few words to describe them.

We have been watching the dance of this swan since she was three.

She loves ballet like she was born knowing it somehow.

I think maybe God sprinkled some fairy dust in the blueprint of her soul.

"Passion is universal humanity.
Without it religion, history, romance and art
would be useless."
Honore' De Balzac
(1799-1850)
