"Again," her coach demanded
It was Friday after practice, and the girl had been drilling down the same turn sequence since practice had ended three hours ago. Every Friday was the same for Nautica Howe.
The expectations her coach had for her seemed unrealistic at times, yet the girl liked the challenge. She liked the thrill of learning new choreography and drilling it till perfection. It's what made her the perfect captain of the West Valley Dance Team.
Pirouette, again, again, pencil, again, Pirouette, again, and again, pencil again and again, before jumping out into a forced toe touch without any prep.
The hardest part was not getting dizzy and hitting the toe touch. Without a prep toe, the skull was hard enough but to add a tripe into a double back into a triple into another triple, never stepping out till the final jump. It seemed like a damn near impossible challenge that the girl was determined to possible.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Olympics didn't have the style of dance she did, she would totally be preparing for that level of sport.
The girl had grown to be better than dancer Maddie Zeigler, who was well known all around the world. Nautica wasn't world-renowned, but in the dance world, every girl was scared to compete against her.
She was every competitors worst nightmare, a technical dancer who had fluidity, emotion, and physical shape to be at the best level one could achieve.
Not to mention, she was from a town barely anyone had heard of, which made her all the more threatening.
As she spotted the same dot reflected in the mirror, Nautics heard the claps meant to resemble a beat coming from her coach, she nailed the first triple, than the double and continues to nail down all the rotations of the turn stopping and finally hitting her best toe touch that night.
Applause from her coach made the girl grin.
That was the exact reason why she was to be feared because now that she was done, she was heading over to Miguel's house to spar with him.
