*i dont really know what this is, well i do..but its hard to explain. I'm a dancer, and i guess this is what i feel everytime i perform..enjoy  

~**The Dance**~
The music fills the air
my breath begins to quickin
My count is coming up
a rush of nervousness runs through me
Here I go..5,6,7,8
Hundreds in the crowd
Lights shining brightly in my eyes
Dancing from my soul
Stress and anger no longer trapped
Breathless as the music fades
It's over too fast
I strike my final pose
As cheers and screams fill my ears
Walking off stage...its over

Nicely done!  I really felt the various emotions involved here... the stagefright, the counting out loud, and finally it is over too fast?  What we do best we do in a trancelike state, it has been said.  Then you take a final bow and think  "It's over."
The relief of it, it seems to me.  But do you enjoy the dance?
BTW, i just posted a poem with a similar title to yours.  Nice coincidence, eh?  ^_^
Always a pleasure.  Keep up the great work.

This was great. yea i have friends who are dancers, this described how they feel nicely. They try to explain it to me and this poem did nicely.......

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Hey peach
Through the lines I could see that you enjoy what you do
Only in enjoyment can you loose time, and it seems like to you seems like it goes to fast  
I had the chance to see ya dance, but you know .....  
maybe next time, just tell me when
on second thought, not maybe, but next time for sure  
Nice to see you love what you do

this poem was really filled with a lot of imagery
i could practically see you dancing on the stage, counting aloud and striking that pose..
well done I must say

Wow, I really like how you wrote this one, it seems very descriptive (I say seems because I'm not a dancer  )< !signature-->
