Mocean Magic most magnificent.

Our in class poet kindly shared her poems for on-line publishing, here is an excerpt for you to enjoy. Thanks Pamela, you make me a happy dancer as well.

Poem for Darryl Tracy
Open Pro classes - Jan-Feb
2012  Halifax Dance
dancin' with darryl.
classic flow, contemporary twists
familiar tendrils from eons ago
sparked with fresh, personal connections with body, mind and energy.
dance in the AND
Meet Gravity
children's hands are becoming racoon like - open open open

dance in the AND
is a gift for the audience to be able to SEE the moves on the beat.
Space, continuity, life within the life of the movement.
never stop moving
yet - live within the spaces too.

Meet Gravity
it's coming UP from the floor, the earth
in the descent, it's not collapsing, disintegrating, giving up
unless that's the choreography.....!
in the descent
join with the gravity - it will definitely be there.
draw from it, it's a sponge that offers back. be there to get it.
i'm betting.....it's in the AND.

Mocean Magic
most magnificent.

wednesday
Glide, sweep. snap. brush
carry yourself over the pelvis
demi demi
sweep
there's those toes
Toss!

30 years dissolves and i'm a twenty-something,
energy flows through fresh new limbs
longing melts to delight
with beautiful dancing friends

so much thanks to Darryl and to Mocean.

Pamela Gaines, happy dancer
