Swan Theme: Not Just for Birds
I always say, if you want to start a party right, you've got to break out the Swan Theme from my ballet, Swan Lake. Imagine a flock of swans gracefully gliding on water, but instead of water, it's a sea of violins, and instead of swans, it's a bunch of fancy folks in a concert hall trying not to spill their drinks while nodding along.
Dance of the Little Swans: Featherweight Champions
I must confess, when I penned the Dance of the Little Swans, I was picturing a quartet of actual swans in tutus, and let me tell you, the image was hilarious. It's like watching synchronized swimming, but with more feathers and less splashing, and the only thing that gets wet is the audience from the sweat of trying to keep up with the tempo.
Waltz: Spinning More Than Just Records
I like to think that when the Waltz kicks in, even the most rhythmically challenged folks feel like they could dance if they just had a couple more drinks. It's a swirling, twirling musical merry-go-round that makes you want to grab the nearest stranger and spin them around until you both forget that neither of you actually knows how to waltz.
