I'm in dance class. Thoroughly exhausted as usual. I decide to sit down for a break-to stretch and recharge. I blink my eyes, bright lights appear from nowhere startling me! I cannot see. I hear new upbeat music starting in the background as a crowd starts to cheer. Suddenly, without efffort, I stand up..."and a 5,6,7,8..."
My body starts moving and dancing effortlessly! :)

I'm doing jumps and spins and moves that I have not even fathomed! Full of endless strength and energy, and with total freedom, I'm dancing with perfect form. As a matter of fact, I'm a graceful swan with feet as light as feathers! The crowd cheers and rohrs! I smile at the idea..."I have finally become the dancing queen!"

I continue dancing, leaping, with such expression, beauty, and grace that only a professional dancer could execute. Lights, flash. Suddenly...a really hot guy appears into the dance as he leaps across the stage. "Wow!" I think. He is a sight to my eyes as he dances with more splendor, and passion than I have ever seen! We engage in the dance. His touch is so strong, yet light and gentle as he spins me through the air. It's almost as if the crowd ceases to exist. He looks me deep into my eyes...the curtain falls...the crowd cheers endlessly. It gets dark...

"Claudine? Are you going to join us back in class?" my dance teacher asks. Oh, bummer! So much for my fantasy! :(

I refocus..."Yeah, sure," I state. I rise (or should I say "struggle") from the floor. Ugh! My arms and legs are full of lead as usual. It's almost as if gravity is sucking me down to the floor. Nap attack? I try to regain proper posture to give the appearance of a strong, refreshed look. Ha! That's a joke!

"Now where are those strings?" I think to myself as I continue to laugh at how humorously ungraceful I am in class tonight. "Wouldn't it be nice to just to be an imaginary 'puppet' where I could dance without effort?" Oh well...Back to reality! It's all good and fun. Even if you are not quite the dancing queen!
