Fairytales? [boyxboy]

Chapter 2 - Just dance

>>>>>>>>> East

And then the new boy came in…

I saw his wonderful face, his perfect smile and yet this time there was no sadness in his eyes. This was the boy me and Thorn saw in the forest this morning.

I had a better look at the boy now, he was thin, but with a little muscles, he has short blonde hair and his eyes were bluish grey. We was dressed in a plain black v-neck tee, a black dance pants and dance sneakers. If there was one thing I hated in my studio it were dance sneakers, because they leave black stripes behind on the floor.

A few seconds after the boy entered the studio I beckoned Theodora to continue the exercises until I returned.

“Hello, you must be the new boy that would start lessons here, my name is East and I’ll be your teacher. I’m also the owner of this school, so let me know if there’s something wrong.” I said, taking the boy with me to my office.

“M..m..my name i…is  Shawn” The boy stuttered, I sat down at my desk and looked at my laptop screen, opening a program for entering the boys data.

“Well, what’s your age? Experience and address?” “I..I’m  18 in t..three.. weeks a..a..and I wa..was in the t…top class at m..my o..o..old school. I l..l..live at Ch..Ch..Church…s..s.street 23b” I looked at the boy and felt something, which I ignored. “Well Shawn, first of all, those shoes are forbidden in my school,  it’s ballet, not Jazz or street dance. You have to purchase ballet shoes. I prefer shorts instead of those long dance pants so I can see your knees. After today’s class I want you to stay and show me some moves. Maybe you heard from your former teacher about me, but I’m the most strictly  teacher. I do not tolerate carelessness glitches.” During my preach I saw the boy cringe, I guess he was scared of me, it was too early for respect.

“For now you can borrow some shoes here, what’s your size?” “40 s..sir” (a/n European size 40 = 6 in UK size and 7 in USA size) He replied.  

I stood up and headed towards the closet in my office, the boy stood up too, probably showing some respect. Out of the closet I grabbed a pair of shoes and threw them at the boy. He caught them and removed his own sneakers to pull on this ballet shoes. I walked out of the office, the boy was right behind me, and walked towards the studio, through the dressing room.

 “Allright class, out of the corner please, 4 times tombé assemblé, pirouette en dedans, fourth position, cambré derrière, soutenu en tournant, repeat until you reach the other end of the studio over the diagonal.” I said while entering the studio, Theodora hurried towards the corner with the other pupils. Shawn included. I searched for the right song to start; Vivaldi’s ‘La Stravaganza’ concerto No.2 RV.279. It’s a quite up-tempo classical piece.

The girls and boys were doing this exercise with a good tempo and without carelessness glitches.

“Good, Elisa, put more feeling in your pirouette, Theodora, more power at the tombé assemble! Boyd keep spotting, Shawn, try it again…” When I was speaking at Shawn I was a bit disappointed. I knew he could do better. I must be the newbie thing. After the group did the routine like about 5 times I told them to quit. Because it was time for rehearsing for the performance. The dance we did was on the well known ‘Dance Macabre’ by Saint-Saëns. It was a ballet piece about dying. It was based on the Dying Swan from ‘Swan Lake’ and a ballet performance I saw about vampires.

The girls had to dance on pointe and the boys just on the normal flat shoes. “Quickly in position, from the top!” I yelled and they obeyed.

While they were dancing I walked around to correct them. I saw Shawn at the side, watching the rest. “Wow, they’re good! I wish I could be that good! I surely have to practice a lot, I hope that that sir can help me… *sight*” I heard him think, I had to suppres a chuckle. This could be fun…
