On Dino's first day in the dance club, he felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. The bright studio was filled with the sound of upbeat music, and he could see other students warming up and stretching in preparation for the class. As he entered, he noticed two seniors dancing effortlessly in the corner, their movements fluid and synchronized.

"Soonyoung and Junhui," Dino whispered to himself, recognizing them from school. They were known for their incredible skills and charismatic stage presence, and the thought of dancing alongside them made him both eager and anxious.

Dino took a deep breath, reminding himself that everyone had to start somewhere. As he approached the group, Soonyoung caught his eye and grinned. "Hey there! You must be the new guy! I'm Soonyoung, and this is Junhui."

Junhui smiled warmly, giving a slight wave. "Welcome to the club, Dino! Are you excited?"

"Yeah, I am! A little nervous, though," Dino admitted, rubbing the back of his neck.

Soonyoung chuckled, his enthusiasm infectious. "Don't worry! We've all been there. Just let the music guide you, and you'll do great. Plus, we're here to help you."

Dino felt a wave of relief wash over him. The seniors' friendly demeanor eased his anxiety, making him feel more at home in the bustling studio.

As the class started, Dino watched Soonyoung and Junhui lead the warm-up exercises, their energy electrifying the room. They effortlessly transitioned into various dance styles, showcasing their skills and encouraging everyone to follow along.

"Just feel the rhythm!" Soonyoung shouted over the music, his voice bright and cheerful. "Dino, come join us!"

With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Dino stepped forward, joining the duo in the front. He followed their lead, mimicking their movements. At first, he stumbled a bit, but Soonyoung and Junhui were patient, guiding him through the steps.

"See? You've got this!" Junhui encouraged, his voice steady and supportive.

With each beat, Dino began to loosen up, finding his groove as he danced alongside the seniors. Their laughter and light-hearted teasing made him feel welcomed, and he started to enjoy the experience.

After the warm-up, they gathered for a quick break, and Dino found himself chatting with Soonyoung and Junhui about their dance experiences.

"Dance is all about expression," Soonyoung explained, his eyes sparkling. "It's a way to connect with yourself and others. Don't be afraid to show your personality!"

Junhui nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Everyone has their unique style. Just find yours, and don't worry about what others think."

Dino felt inspired by their words. For the first time, he believed he could really fit into this club. The afternoon flew by, filled with laughter, dance, and encouragement from the two seniors.

As the session wrapped up, Soonyoung clapped Dino on the back. "You did awesome today! Keep practicing, and you'll be shining on stage in no time."

Dino beamed, feeling proud of himself. "Thanks! I really appreciate your help."

Junhui smiled, giving him a thumbs-up. "We're glad to have you, Dino. Looking forward to seeing you next time!"

As Dino left the dance studio, he felt lighter and more confident than he had in a while. The initial nerves he had felt were replaced with excitement for what lay ahead. With supportive friends like Soonyoung and Junhui, he was ready to dive deeper into the world of dance.
