Dancing Down the Roads
Standing in the bright sunlight, Joan swayed from left to right with excitement.The meeting site was filled with people dressed in bright costumes.The band began a fast tune.First Joan heard the quick beat of drums.Then banjos mixed in.Next, dancers strolled toward the band, and singers added a tune.
The parade was set to begin in a little while.Joan had dreamed about this for a long time.The parade went on only once each year in Trinidad.Until this year, Joan's dad had refused to let her take part.But this year she was ready.
"I can't wait!" Joan cried."I am nine years old.I can jump up and kick my legs at the same time," she noted.
"Being the right age isn't all it takes to be in the parade.Let me share a secret," Mr. Loman advised in a soft and concerned tone."A parade dancer has a difficult job.It doesn't matter if you are hot, tired, or thirsty.You must keep dancing!"
Joan was excited, but she was also frightened.Her throat felt like it was in a tight knot.Could she dance the whole time?Would her feet keep the beat when her body got tired?The parade would go past each street in town.The golden sun would be high in the sky before the dancers stopped.
