I like this one, with its well-observed details and its final line which changes the whole poem. The off-rhymes and casual rhythms seem fine to me, and the lack of a volta doesn't seem like a problem. The three "hows" bother me a bit, mainly because the third one is not parallel to the first two; the syntax isn't matching the grace of the dancers here.
