Keep on Dancing – A Quadrille

by  •  • 39 Comments

Keep on Dancing

Balanced and on an even keel
Confidence returned once more
She possessed unmistakable duende
as she danced powerfully across the floor
 
The volume of the music
was turned way up high
It was impossible to keep her still
Her only limit was the sky

Kim is hosting Monday Quadrille

us with the work 'Keep' 
A quadrille has exactly 44 words
excluding the title

There word Prompts
Keel - WotD
Duende - RDP
Volume - FowC

    I like the steady rhythm and rhymes in your quadrille, Christine, and the image you paint of someone completely lost in the music. That’s two quadrilles about dancing in a row!

      Thank you Sadje. It reminded me of that movie. I can’t remember the name but I think Irene Cara was the dancer.

    I once remember a little five year old girl who danced that way while her daddy played in a music group! Very nice work!
