Meeting a Dancer

A dance, a character study

A dance hall at the end of a night; the band is packing up. Taken by me.

Hello, would you care to dance with me?

Do you notice on the dance floor
your personality comes through
and colours the way you move?

A sharp eye and friendly disposition
shown in your repertoire of movements
and how you welcome old and new.

The careful consideration of your words
reflected in the gentle firmness of your touch
and how you hold your frame.

The exuberance of your laughter
mirrored in your spins and stylings
and the skip in your step.

Thank you, I had the most wonderful time,
dancing with you,
learning about you.
