I'd practice and practice and practice.

One night the door, the closet door came open, I bumped my head, but I just shook that off and kept right on dancing.

And I even practiced doing the headstand.

I bumped my head again on the floor,

shook that off, and tried it again until I got it.

Like I said, I did that for a whole month until I felt I had it together.

And then one night, one Friday night, at 6 o'clock, I got dressed, and I went down to the center.

And I sat in my same little spot.

Now I don't know who Tommy was dancing with while I was gone, but I guess he was dancing with somebody.

But I stepped in my same spot, waiting, just waiting for him to come over and ask me to dance.

Through the phone, here comes Mr. Tommy Johnson.

And I got up.

and I followed him out to the dance floor.

Now, when you get out there on the dance floor, if you're really doing something spectacular, a crowd will gather around you.

Now, that crowd is there to help you stay inside the circle, to let the person that's doing the fantastic dancing do their thing.

And if you're not dancing so good and you try to get out of that circle, you can't go nowhere.

You got to stay inside that circle and endure the humiliation.

Well, Tommy had asked me to dance again.

And I was inside the circle.

And he was doing his splits.
