Alors on Danse

Narrator: 

She snaps her fingers in unison to to the music and the bass drums.

He has been watching her from the sidelines. The way her hips sway, the smile on her lips, her animated facial expressions as she mouths the lyrics- she's lost in the music and her body translates into a language anyone can understand.

This dance class is more than he hoped it would be.

-----------------------------------

Darlene:

I can feel his eyes scanning my body. Does he think this is a free show? I snap out of my annoyance when the teacher says "From the top"

Then I glance in the mirror to see him still eyeing me. He quickly shifts his gaze. Its one thing to have an admirer and possibly put on a flirty show. Entirely different when they don't even have the courtesy to introduce themselves or smile. I was hella annoyed.


----------------------------------------------------

Jordan:

"Okay this part you will need a partner" the instructor says,

There is a scramble into positions and shuffling of feet. I beeline straight for her.

"Hi my name is Jordan. Please excuse my staring but honestly you're mesmerizing to watch. You get completely immersed. I'm tryna get to your level"

She releases a hearty peel of laughter and I can see that she's tickled at the idea of such a cute fan of her art.

------------------

Darlene:

I can feel my face heating up. Are we flirting right now?!! Is that what's happening? 


" Well thanks, you're not bad yourself" I retort.   At least he had the decency to finally introduce himself.


" This is a new years resolution so well see how long it lasts." He adds.


I smirk.


---------------------------

Narrator:

He wasnt expecting to meet anyone who would pique his interest, but here he was, flirting up a storm like his life depended on it. He decided if she was around more often he would definitely come around more.

"im Darlene, nice to meet you and welcome to DanceLife" she extended her hand and gave him a firm handshake; this was no joke to her.

Their introduction is interrupted by the teacher

' Alright i want you to decide who will be the lead for this next dance number'
