What dance is your distraction?

Inspired by the image

What dance is your distraction?

Dirty, I bet, like Swayze; or maybe

Indian Bollywood bhangra beats,

Square for formal, samba for saucy!

Tango? Dramatic, muted passion simmering...

Rhythmic, rolling rhumba perhaps?

Alligator glide! Reptiles slide, crocodiles rock!

Charming Charleston or cha-cha-cha?

Tarantella, a hairy dance of many legs or

Irish dancing, straight-backed in a kilt

Or ballet or line or ceilidh or rain!

No one dance is the same.
