Smiling
White satin shoes
Hair twisted up
Eyes shadowed, midnight mascara
Cheeks blushed, bronzed, highlighted
Bold berry red lips
Jeweled white silk gown
Gold pearl sparkling earrings
Swarovski necklace
Show arrival
Invitation to dance
Position
Facing partner, slightly offset to left
Lower bodies together upper bodies apart
Both looking to the left
Partners right hand below my left shoulder blade
My left hand is on his upper right arm
Begin
Strauss Blue Danube Melody
Loudness, softness
Violins, violas, cellos, double basses, harp, flutes, piccolo, oboes, clarinets
Bassoons, horns, trumpets, trombone, bass trombone, tuba
Timpani, bass drum, triangle, snare drum
Sound transcending time, space, history of pre-world I traditions
Speaks joy, excitement, history
“1,2,3.” 180 beats per minute
Continuous rapid turns in a ¾ time signature
Moving as a unit in close embrace
Turning to right, turning to left
Interspersed with non-rotating change steps
Switch between directions of rotation
Rotating on the spot the fleckerl
Heart beating
Swirl, whirl
Melody ends
Smiling
Bow
Audience applauds
Timeless dance appreciated
