I Was by Elisa Vittori '22

I was… a dancer for many years From the time I was young Taking ballet and modern dance classes too The time I stopped taking these dance classes Three years ago With my ballet shoes, my dance socks, and my hair in a bun Dancing to the music, christmas, piano, or anything under the sun As I dance to the songs I have heard many times before And the dances that have been taught for many months That will be performed with the dance group I was in On the stage for the first time to the last time

Though the show been done many times before Our roles change each year However some stay the same Year after year as we learn the dances That have been taught many times Though they are different They seem similar to the dances from the years before

From the first show to the last show Ballet to Modern and anything in between The show is performed on the stage From the beginning to end in many parts Though these dances are still as Magical as they were in rehearsal each day.
