Majestic dance
verse 1
see how beautiful
smiling proudly inside
this is our majestic dance
chorus
go go
with all your strength
this is our majestic dance
go go
it’s beautiful
this is our majestic dance
verse 2
graceful to watch
let the hands tell the story
surprising all in our dance
chorus 2
go go
with all your strength
this is our majestic dance
go go
it’s beautiful
sweet is our majestic dance
verse 3
slide your feet ever so gently
so proud swells inside
slap your leg nod your head
slide it’s the slide
up and down
