Ballet terms can be found in the first part (entitled 'Floating Petals').

As a travelling company
For months we have been fundraising
Yet we did not know for what
Daniel likes surprises
Nothing prepared me
For the shock
And awe
I would experience when I found out
Daniel gathered us in
A break from our rehearsal
Our instructor began
With a contagious smile
A row of white stones
Between stretched pink lips
And the only word I heard
“Haiti”
