His ability rings true
His grace is apparent
His naturalness for movement
Has a suaveness of sincerity
He has an insouciant revelry
That transcends to the floor
His look has a wonderfulness of expression
He opens to the dance
His timings has an alacrity of acuteness
Delivered with an epitome of effrontery
His smile invites the follower to join
In a poise of pulchritude
His articulation has an amazing verve of veracity
An audaciousness of festive frivolity
His lightness of movement has an unencumbered sweetness
There is a deliberate deftness in his lead and moves
The sudden stops and starts have a remarkable dexterity
His frame of reference has a preternatural quality
He translates the next action with such skillful aplomb
He seems to live the beat of the song
Rendering its feel into his motion
The music comes alive under his direction
He unravels the notes into vivacious gesticulations
Unfolding into an enticement of fun
His interpretation entreats a tasteful temerity to arise
His talent to lead his follower into spins and turns
Has a gifted authenticity in its display
He effortlessly sets them up
Gently harmonizing with them
Or gregariously waiting in attendance
Sometimes its as if he painting a picture
Continuously changing to his tune
His joyousness is emblazoned on his face
His caste of countenance has a true loveliness
Happiness is written all over him
He offers a capriciousness of culpability
A consequence of comeliness arises
When one watches there is a true grandeur to this man
The heavens watch in awe when he performs
Pleased at his precocity for West Coast Swing
The man has a true magnificence to his being
A genuine giftedness when dancing
And a true beauty and splendor that is just John…
