I Am

I am a breathtaking dancer!
I wonder if I will be good enough to become a famous ballerina.
I hear my feet swizzle across the floor as I dance.
I see famous dancers glide gracefully across the stage on pointe.
I wish I could be a famous dancer and dance the lead roles for the Royal Australian ballet!
I am a breathtaking dancer.

I pretend to be a famous dancer gliding across the stage.
I feel tired after ballet lessons.
I touch Tamizan’s shiny pointe shoes as I am lost in thought about my future.
I understand the beats of the music as I dance.
I dream that I am a famous dancer prancing across the stage.
I am a breathtaking dancer!
