The Stage Is Set

5: TeamWork

It's almost time for everyone to perform their dances but Norah thought that her and Westly should add some more moves to it and he also agreed, as they were doing that everyone else was pretty much done.

Miss Allison enters the studio with Kevin and Katie behind her, "Okay everyone, times up!"

"We were being timed?" Jeremy asked.

"Yes Jeremy." Allison replied.

"Oh." He scratched his head and then smiled, "Well, can Francine, Zara and I go first?" 

"Sure, if you think you're ready, we'll love to see what guys came up with."

Jeremy Taylor - Breakdancer 

.........................................................................

'My favorite sport used to be soccer. I used to not see dance as a sport until one day my neighbor came wearing her dance uniform. She told me that she came from a dance competition. That day I learned that dancing is also a sport,' Jeremy glance down at his hands.

Everyone moved to give the three space as they walk to the middle of the room.

By the end everyone was clapping.

"Amazing, now that's teamwork." Allison says.

"Who's next?"

Catelynn takes Samson's hand and walk them to the middle. She whispered something in his ear, and he nodded before taking a deep breath to calm his nerves.

The dance teacher gave them an encouraging smile.

Catelynn Robinson - Ballet Dancer

.........................................................................

'I grew up dancing and almost my whole family dances. Samson's a great dancer! He's just shy. I think it's a little funny that Jeremy's his best friend since you know, one's more outgoing than the other, but they work great together, like two peas in a pod! I like dancing because it makes me happy and it's one of the ways I communicate with God.' 

"Beautiful!" Allison cheered and everyone clapped.

Jenny and David went next, and it was equally as beautiful.

Tyler leans down toward Kelsie's ear and whispered, "Ready?" Kelsie jumped not expecting him to get that close.

He chuckled at the look on her face, "I'm sorry if I scared you, so are you ready?" He repeats this time being clearer with his words. Kelsie nodded.

Norah stood to the side carefully watching each dance, she loved to learn from others.

She tapped her foot to the song that played.

Norah Wright - Tap/Contemporary Dancer

...........................................................................

'I'm interested in learning more dances, I already know ballet, contemporary, and tap dancing. It would be nice to add a few more to the list.' She paused and leaned forward, 'I don't have a list by the way.' She whispered and let out a small giggle.

After Tyler and Kelsie finished it was now either Veronica and Emmett or Norah and Westly turn.

"Who's next?"

"Do you want us to go?" Westly asked her, before she could say anything Veronica raised her hand and walked forward, "Emmett and I'll go."

"Okay, Veronica, Emmett the floors yours." Miss Allison smiled.

Veronica is a wonderful dancer and her and Emmett make a perfect pair. Norah loved watching them, she only hopes that the blonde-haired girl will want to be friends. Westly looks at her and he was able to tell she was in deep thought.

"Norah?" He tapped her on the shoulder, and she shook her head, "Huh?"

"It's our turn." 

She nodded and took a deep breath. She said a quick prayer before following Westly.

They ended up changing some things in their dance and the looks on everyone's faces told Norah it was the right choice.

Westly is a quick learner and a good teacher.

Norah is happy to have him as her dance partner today.

Miss Allison clapped her hands together along with the two other adults next her.

"Great teamwork everyone!"

What do you think Norah and Westly's duo name should be if they had one?

Teamwork is important 😊
