The Dance of the American Experiment

by Irene Daniel


America is a dance
Hopi, Sioux, Apache and Cherokee

Sometimes it is a square dance
of twirling cowboy boots

It is a ballet
striving for perfection

And a bold and colorful
Ballet Folklorico

Irish jigs and German polkas
Jewish havas and jitterbugs

It is a waltz
of grace and beauty

And a sizzling hot tango
cooled by authentic jazz

The blues wale
a woeful lament

Folk music speaks to our soul
and big bands move our feet

Our nation of immigrants
is a land of many dances
