Why We Dance An Inspirational Show By foreverclovers
Sometimes it’s hard to get away from the competitive atmosphere...
To stop worrying about winning that or beating them...
Or if your wig isn’t perfect, or you don’t win out of your light jig.
To not mind if you don’t get the best place in the line up...
When something goes wrong...
Or it all seems uphill...
You feel like you’ll never catch up...
Or you fail to reach a goal or crack an audition...
Then guess what?
Just remember where your home is.
Go back to the empty dance floor...
Grasp the barre and look in the mirror...
Turn on the warm-up music and practice your cuts.
Because that is why we dance.
The feeling that it is to be home,
In the studio,
Just dancing.
Dancing for the rhythm,
For the laughter,
For the fun,
For the friendship,
For the excitement,
For the thrill of ability,
For the adrenalin of the beat,
For the breath of fresh air,
For the challenge to rise to
And for the little moments
That remind us why we all...
Dance
And after all,
Who knows what surprises...
May be waiting for you...
If you really try your best
Just around the corner...
Or maybe the next one.
I think so too.
So remember to never forget...
Every time you dance,
To share your passion
Your partner
A smile
A helping hand
A hand to dance
A new friend
An old friend
Team spirit
More team spirit
And more team spirit
A bucketful of energy
A spade full of imagination
A little joke
A hug
A shared moment
A sprinkle of determination
In every minute step
That you attempt to succeed
Happiness at every beautiful leap
At every better batter
So always remember to share with your audience
Whether at a competition, an exam, a concert or a display
Your love for what you do
Your passion for doing it well
Your enjoyment for every second that you shine
And your happiness that you got up and did it, whatever the outcome.
You’re going to face disappointment at some time in your career
Just remember to focus on how  you  felt about your dancing before the results
And start thinking about the future…don’t dwell on the past!
It’s the next time you’re going to dance that really matters.
Positivity Rules!
And always remember that...
There is another extraordinary gift waiting for you...
The dance of...
Tomorrow
So next time it’s all getting a bit tough, remember…
The harder it is to get
The more thrilling it is to get right
The longer it takes to learn
The greater the smiles along the way
And the longer you stick at it
The longer you’ve been there
The longer you’ve hung in
The greater the rewards
And we can’t forget
All the star-struck
Smiles
That are one of the prettiest things
As you see the hardest workers
Gain their just rewards
And there’s some things you’ve just got to have!
You’ve got to have cute!
You’ve got to have sheer beauty
You’ve got to have all the glitz and glam
And then of course there are
The beautiful dresses
And the dreams of new ones
And that sense of wonderment
At your successes
Every hop
Every leap
Every jump
Every step
It all counts
But what Irish Dancers learn
Is more than just how to dance
Humility
Tradition
Triumph
Tragedy
Coping gallantly with problems
Sharing
Poise and politeness
How to make lacing those Hullachan’s more interesting
How to stay in the air for six seconds
And how to still be just as humbled and surprised
Whether it is your first win
Or one of many
Can you remember your first team?
Training together
Winning together
It’s all about teamwork
Getting it right
And fun too!
And you know, the thing about teams?
These are the friendships you’ll keep for a lifetime
And it’s not all competitions
Shows are all part of the fun
And it’s nice to dance
For others
Without any cares
Rather than just yourself.
Everyone has to start somewhere!
It doesn’t matter whether you’re 5 or 50
Whether you’re at the beginning of your career, or at the end…
It’s the journey that counts!
And anyway, who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Everyone loves to win
But there’s only one way to the podium
Bottom Up.
And its gonna take time, and pain, and tears, I’m not going to kid you.
There will be days when you just want to quit
But if you want something, you got to be willing to fight for it,
Rain or shine.
And then one day, when you least expect it…
All of it will be worth it.
What’s that? It’ll never be me?
No! Not listening!
Hey, I can give you the pep talk…but only YOU can make that decision
But as for me? I say point your toe, and make it count.
Dream big…
…and you never know where it might take you.
When you look back on your dancing career in years to come
It won’t be the steps and the hours of training that you remember
Nor the victories, or the defeats…
It will be the hotdogs you ate
The feis friends you hugged
The moonpies you munched through
The surfboards you posed with…
The card games you played in the corridor
Hello Kitty and Crocs
The trips you went on
The moments with mum or dad
The just-for-fun jumps with friends
And the quiet leaps, when nobody’s watching.
So leap right into
The next  dance
Thanks for watching!
