I Marvel at Better-than-movies Action-packed Moves

"How do they do all this? Where are they from?.."

I Marvel at Better-than-movies Action-packed Moves

How do they do all this? Where are they from? -- I've no answers
A virtual walk sees me stumble on a video that features dancers

Their dancing is so spirited and springy that I call it exertainment
A portmanteau word derived from exercise and entertainment

Exercises keep our bodies in shape as they also boost our health
We use planks, squats, single-leg deadlifts to raise the strength

Around the muscles as the body burns the calories: the road
To ultimate fitness is a routine that is well-ordered and bold

When I watch the video of the dancing troupe, the energy
And finesse that it exudes -- not forgetting the synergy --

I see the quintessence of a theatre, what entertainment!
I see a gymnasium, I swear there is sweat and commitment
