Aimie's Lullaby
"When I've finished my nap, said Aimie, I'd really, really love to dance."
"And so you shall, my precious child," says the Anna Pavlova Dancing Star in a starlit whisper, as she looks down from a glittering sky overhead.
It's another magnificent silver-lit snow-covered day as daylight fades.
The silver-light of the day is carried over to the sparkling smiling eyes of all the children as they anxiously rush along the snow covered walkways to the Crystal Palace Dance Theater to see tonight's grand performance.
Tonight Aimie, the world famous Five-Year-Old choreographer and Tuesday-Two-Step dancer, is making her official stage debut.
She is appearing in her own new creation----" Aurora's Four-Door-Ah! "----a fable about a spiffy teen-age princess who dreams about getting her first super four-door sports car and gets a glass tennis shoe instead.
" Happy Endings Abound By The Hundreds In This High Art Extravaganza ! "
(Animal--"The Sesame Street Don't Delete Reading And Wrapping Paper Review")
Brightly colored children hurry to the theater.
run, dance, slide
monkey-glide
they hurry inside
Inside the world famous lollipop colored venetian crystal chandeliers are shining brightly.
Tonight partnering Aimie will be her Five-Year-Old twin brother, Ami.
Assisting Aimie and Ami will be the entire Kirov-Mariinsky Ballet Company.
Also flying in and assisting will be the Bolshoi Ballet, Paris Opera House Ballet, Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theater, New York City Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet and many others. It is rumored that the Big Bird Big Band Muppet Ballet and Break Dance Company will also make a surprise appearance.
Veronika Symphonica will be dancing alongside Aimie duplicating her every move, so that everyone sitting in back can see what's happening.
The theater lights dim.
The front of the stage reserved for all the children's teddy bears is completely full.
The Celestial Clown Clog Dancers take to the stage.
Aimie runs on stage and sails into the arms of Nikolai Handsome, last minute replacement for that ever-so-sunny-weather match making twin brother, Ami.
The audience applauds merrily, giggly, irish jiggily !
Aimie looks up to the sky through the clear venetian-structural crystal roof and waves lovingly to the best friend that anyone could hope to have.
The Anna Pavlova Dancing Star in the beautiful still silver-lit winter sky above is overcome with joy.
No more need for house lights tonight. The starlit sky fills the theater !
