Once upon a time there were some girls,
Who wanted to learn dances from all over the world,
But when the teacher was again not in, A non-dancing supply teacher had to fill in.
We were learning about African dance,
Stop leaving us cover work and give us a chance.
We don’t want to “work through the questions”,
We want to do fun, practical dance lessons.
This may not be a ballet school,
But a proper dance lesson would be cool!
