ODE TO OUR CALLER
Once upon a September
night
16 new dancers began
their flight
Circle to the left,
left, left
Now circle to the right
Those were the calls
that gave such delight
On that first night, so
much you taught
Partners, corners, heads
and sides…
“Hey this stuff is
simple”
Well, that’s what WE
thought!
As weeks went on your
patience showed…
The more we learned, the
more YOU glowed
Enthusiasm they say is
quite contagious
We got it from YOU, the
joy that you gave us!
Attendance slowed as
winter months neared
One night it snowed and
you should have VEERED!!
But we too had our dance
floor collisions
Always with a smile, you
made sweet provisions.
There must have been
times when you surely thought
“Will this group ever
really get what I’ve taught?”
|
On and on you taught
with such steam
We know that at times
you wanted to scream!
With twirls and waves,
clover-leafs and scoot-backs
It looks like a dance
now, no more an attack!
Look at us Bob, we
finally got it,
it’s really sunk in.
We’re doin’ it Bob,
the
GRAND COLONAL SPIN!
Graduation night came
and OH what a sight!
We really are soaring,
it’s such a delight!
Shoe boxes and lemons,
and even tied up
We danced with such
vigor, we never gave up!
Dear Bob, tonight it’s
you we salute in grand fashion
For sharing with us and
teaching with passion
The gratitude felt, mere
words cant convey
For your patience and
guidance that showed us the way.
The weeks have gone by
us, my how time has flown
Your fledgling dancers
have certainly grown!
We just cant believe
class time is now past
With thanks our dear
caller…
Your “classiest” class
