I am a dancer I twirl, leap and spin I jump, pirouette, and tap I am a dancer I feel pain and fear I feel defeat and failure Yet I keep going I smile, I practice, I perform I feel happiness and joy I have grace and beauty I hear the applause I perform and do my best Sometimes I fail I don’t give up For I am a dancer I am brave and strong I dance not for fame and glory

But for how I feel inside I am happiness, joy, love & excitement Strife, talent, joy, Determination and beauty I am a dancer
