A ballerina is an Athlete


A ballerina is an Athlete

A ballerina is an Athlete
Any doubt look at their feet
Through pain, blisters and bruises
The dancer triumphs but never looses

Uniforms and costumes are required
And both sport athletes and dancers perspire
Special shoes are a must
A bad fit will lead to a performance that is a bust

An audience applause is a good test
The winning team and dancer is cheered when the best
Fame and fortune are enjoyed as well
Talent and beauty insure the tickets will sell

Sports and dance require strength and will power
They all must practice for many many hours
To be special celebrated and sought after
You must commit to a schedule that limits joy and laughter

Ballerina’s are athletes that is a fact
It requires grace, poise and the ability to act
Dancer train, perform and compete,
Dancers are athletes that are among the elite.
