Once upon a time in a land far away
There lived a young kid who loved to play
They had a talent for dance and rhyme
But they moved clumsily all the time

They dreamed of performing for an audience
But felt awkward with their lack of fluency
Yet they practiced every day and night
Perfecting their footwork with all their might

Their rhythm started to flow so smoothly
As they danced to a beat that was groovy
And when the day of their big performance came
The kid was ready to play the game

The spectators sat in awe and wonder
As the kid danced and made the music thunder
Emigrating them to a world of joy and delight
As they moved with grace and might

And though the performance was over at last
The applause and cheers continued to blast
For the kid had overcome their fear
And danced with passion for all to hear
