Dancing Away With My Heart

Chapter 1

"Danielle , are you sure about this" my mother asked as I packed my suitcases into the trunk of my car

"Yes , this has been my dream since I was 10 years old and now it's finally going to come true , I have to do this" I said

"But your going to be so far away and you don't know anyone in Los Angeles , I think you would be better off here with your father and I" she said

"I'm not going to accomplish anything if I stay here , I got an opportunity to take classes instructed by professional dancers and you know that's exactly what I want to be one day , If I go now I'm one step closer to something I've wanted for almost 10 years , you can't hold me back now" I said

"I know , I Know , It's just ... I can't stand the thought of you being somewhere that I'm not ... You've always had your father and I to lean back on and now your going to be on your own" She said with tears welling in her eyes

"Mom" I said pulling her into a hug " You and Daddy raised me right , Im going to do just fine on my own , I've got to take this next step for my future , you know what my motto is"

"Take More Chances , Dance More Dances " She said pulling away from the hug wiping away tears

"Right and if I don't take this chance there aren't gonna be anymore dances for me to dance" I said

"Okay , You go and do what you do best , but promise me that you won't forget where it all started" She said and put her hand over my heart .

"I Promise" I said and placed my hand on my heart over hers .

I got in my car and pulled onto the main highway , I could see my mother waving at me in my rear view mirror , It pained me to leave just as much as it did her , I didn't know anyone in L.A. and I was going to kiss this small Kentucky town but I knew that It was time for me to take my first step toward my future , It had always been my dream to be a professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars ever since I saw my mother watching it one night and from that point on I was completely hooked , I had started taking dance classes at my local studio and studying some of my favorite dancers styles and tried to mimic what they did . After I graduated high school I applied for dance classes that were taught by actual professionals , they only accept 5 out of 1,000 applications so you can imagine how shocked I was when I received a letter saying that I would get to take these classes but at the same time I was scared out of my mind .

After hours of driving from my small Kentucky town , I finally arrived in L.A. , The first thing I did was find my apartment which was a few miles away from the studio I was going to be training at which was good for me because my 1st class was at 5:30 that afternoon and it was already 3:00 when I finally arrived . I carried in all of my bags and belongings and tried to get everything out away before my first class , It didn't take long and I was finally unpacked and settled into my new perfect apartment and not to mention but the view was amazing , it overlooked the entire city , but , the city wasn't all that caught my attention . I was standing outside on my balcony when I saw a guy get out of a black Range Rover , He was in basketball shorts and had his shirt off and looked like he had been sweating a lot , his hair was dark and curly and his smile seemed like it could light up the entire world in a power outage , I watched him from the moment he stepped out of his car to the moment he walked into the building and he didn't notice me at all .

It was 5:00 and my dance class started in 30 minutes but I wanted to arrive early so I left my part mentioned and arrived at the studio at 5:10 , I walked inside carrying my bag and went over to a nice lady behind a desk

"Can I help you honey ?" she asked

"Uh ... Yes I'm Here for the Professional dance lessons" I said
