They had a talent for the Cha-Cha
and a passion for the Waltz
a little bit of Fox Trot
and their Swing was something else;
tapping to the tempo, jivin’ to the beat,
to see the them Jitterbuggin’
was to witness something sweet.
Their Charleston was electric
their Samba was unmatched
when they broke out into Hip-Hop
all the others stopped to watch.
They were both unstoppable
and so hard to ignore,
like a moth takes to the flame
so they took the floor.
their footwork, animated;
their Boogaloo was boffo
their Tango was X-Rated!
Dance they could and dance they did
they had such rapport…
never once did stumble,
they always pushed for more.
To find the perfect partner
to lead us in the dance,
someone who’s attuned to us
and helps us to advance,
is like capturing a moving train
as it leaves the station;
but rarer still, the soulmate
who has perfect syncopation.
