After school Norah wasted no time rushing to the studio so she could not only be the first one but to also practice her solo dance.
Yes, you heard right, miss Allison made a decision to give Norah a solo.
'I might or might not have mention this before, but, I LOVE DANCE.' She shouted and burst in a fit of giggles, 'Like, how can you not, not saying you have to be a dancer or anything.' Norah glanced to her upper right corner grinning and looked back at the camera, 'Dancing is such an art!'
The Wright girl was so focused on her dance that she didn't notice anyone come in.
Westly smiles at the camera, 'I'm happy that miss Allison gave Norah a solo, it's like-' He pauses for a second trying to find the words, 'When she dances a story is being told.'
He sat down on one of the couches.
Norah is a tap and contemporary dancer but she's trying to expand her dancing and style of dancing, she's willing to learn new things, if it glorifies God.
Westly claps as she gracefully finishes the dance, and the song ended.
Norah pants and turned around smiling.
"Thank you," he handed a bottle of water.
"What was that?"
"What was what?" She asks tilting her head.
"I can tell when you dance, you're not only having fun, but you're also telling a story. What story were you trying to show in the dance?"
"Um, it's supposed be a story of a girl who dreams of becoming a professional dancer. She starts to get cold feet since there are so many others who are better and feels that she's not good enough. One day she realizes everyone is made unique and no one's better than anyone we're all different and her dream finally comes true."
By the end of Norah telling him about her dance Westly stared at her wide eyes.
"Wow," the shock fades and a gentle smile appears, "Is this story personal or?"
A light blush crosses Norah's cheeks and nose.
"Kinda, yeah." She shrugged.
"Norah, with your confidence and positivity I think you'll be good in any career you wind up doing."
Norah knew he said it to try and comfort her, but something inside her felt weird.
Even though what he said made her feel weird it didn't stop her from putting on a kind smile.
Norah walks in front of the camera and sits down letting out an uncomfortable chuckle, 'I know Westly is being nice, so I shouldn't be feeling like this.' She frowned, her eyes fell to her hands, and awkwardly played with her fingers.

Walking inside the large building he immediately goes to the receptionist's desk and smiles sweetly at the lady who's typing on the computer. She looks up at him and gave the boy a friendly smile, "Hi, how may I assist you today?" She greets.
"Hi, uh," He glance at her name tag, "Sierra, my name is Andrew Riley and I'm here to see miss Allison." The young lady laughed and typed something, "She should be in her office, do you want me to walk you there?"
Andrew shook his head, "No, I actually know the way, thank you." He nods and she frowns watching him walk away.
"Have a blessed day!" He waved at her and turned around walking to Allison's office.
Miss Allison was looking through papers when she hears a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Auntie, I always see you working. Do you ever take a break?" She looks up to see her nephew Andrew standing in the doorway.
Andrew gives her one of his playful smiles, "Do you have any time for your favorite nephew?"
The dance owner stands up and walks up to him giving Andrew a hug, "Of course I have time for you." She says then pulls away to give him a look, "And you're my only nephew and even if you weren't- you know that I don't have favorites."
"I know, Aunt Ally, I was just joking."
"I know, now come sit, take a seat." He obliges and returns to her chair.
"So, what can I do for you, dear Nephew?" She smiled.
Andrew looks around the room before answering, "Um- remember that thing you asked me a month ago?"
"About you possibly joining the Foundation team here?"
He nodded.
'A month or so ago I asked Andrew to come and audition for our Foundation team because I've seen him dance and shows such passion for the art/sport and he loves the Lord. So why not use this wonderful gift that God has given you to glorify Him with it.'
Miss Allison frowns, "Oh, did you change your mind? Or-"
The look on Andrew's face this time was a serious one.

'I thought about what my aunt asked me and before I wasn't one hundred percent sure, but I think this is where God has been pushing me,' The curly head boy confidently said.
"It took some time, but I accept your offer." He states.
Allison still had a frown on and opened her mouth to say something, but the boy spoke again.
"I understand that auditions are over, so if you'll allow me to attend your beginner's class. I'm okay with that too."
Allison grins and nods, "You're right about the auditions being over." She thinks for minute and points at him, "What are your thoughts about being alternate for the team?"
"Are you talking about the Foundation team?"
"Yes, Catelynn is our first alternate, we just need two more, what do you think?"
Andrew actually liked that idea and nodded.
Miss Allison shakes her nephew hand happy that he's now joining her company.
"Welcome to the Praise Dance Worship family." She said, and he laughed.
"Thank you for accepting me."
