Stepping Away

Title: Stepping Away

In the realm of movement,
A platform for dreams to take flight,
Seventeen years of passion,
Now shadowed by a darker night.

Nigel Lythgoe, a guiding force,
A teacher of grace and poise,
But accusations have arisen,
Casting a shadow on those joys.

The dance floor, once adorned,
With twirls and leaps so grand,
Now tainted by alleged misdeeds,
A painful truth on shifting sand.

But with determination, we rise,
Seeking justice, holding hands,
Protecting those who’ve been harmed,
Mending our broken dance strands.

A new chapter must now unfold,
Rebuilding trust, nurturing art,
So dancers can thrive and shine,
In a space untainted, pure in heart.
