little did you know;

"everybody cut footloose"

The start of the very first group dance rehearsals, which the pro's get to meet and speak to the celebs. More importantly, mollie and aj get to speak and finally meet.

The first meeting:
Mollie's POV:
As soon as we were allowed, we all were running up to the pros hugging, laughing and introducing ourselves. A certain person, who's eyes clasped straight on me, came up to me and put me into a tight hug which honestly made me feel at home. "Hey, I'm Aj it's nice to finally get to meet you mollie!" From the off I could tell he was excited about this, as was I. I mean who wouldn't if there was a chance I'd get to dance with a young, good looking man every Saturday. "Hi, I'm Mollie and the exact same goes for you! Can't wait to see what this journey brings. Hey, we could even go through it all together as partners!"  This one, single thought made mollie and aj smile with glee.

Aj's POV:
"We could even go through it all as partners" as soon as I heard those words, my heart sped up. The thought of dancing with my celebrity crush every Saturday and spending every day training with her, makes me smile as cliché as it sounds. When I snapped back to reality, I heard Chloe shouting my name to go over to the pro's and Jason ready to start choreography. "Right, think we're going to have one of the celebs held up in the air to kick off the dance" said Jason while looking at the possible choice. " I think we'll go with mollie" I only had to hear her name for my heart to speed up and me to look over at her laughing.

*4 hours after they started practicing*

Third persons point of view:
After learning the basic steps of the dance, we soon learned who was going to be dancing with who in the partner bits, you had Gorka and Gemma, Ruth and Anton, Charlotte and Brendan. Then the one which made everyone in the room smile because they knew what could be happening here, Mollie and Aj. Smitten. The one word to describe them and they barely knew anything about each other, but seeing them dance together and connect was magical to everyone in the room. "Everybody cut, everybody cut, everybody cut footloose" straight into the end positions, with pros holding their partners and some had celebs sitting on their legs in a position. For Aj, he was stood behind Mollie, while she sat on Giovanni's knee.
After they were done running the dance for the 10th time, it was time for a break. Mollie and Aj took this as a opportunity to go for a walk around the grounds of the rehearsal space, outside to get to know each other before the live shows. The pair were nervous from the off set, but that wouldn't stop them speaking and smiling at each other like they've won the lottery and this was only the start of big things to come, little did they know...
