The Elvenking and The Girl Behind the Scenes

Dance the Night Away

The trendy music in the upscale nightclub was so uplifting that Tania could feel every beat from the roots of her hair to the tip of her toes. The love in the air hyped up the mood and ensured good vibes, ready to give her a good time.

At the bar, hundreds of conversations were told in loud voices, all of them competing with the music that dominated the atmosphere. The crowd was young, university students for the most part, clubbing like it was their last night on Earth. All bodies were moving in tune with the music and fed off of smiles and joy like shots of adrenaline under the disco ball reflecting an array of blues, acid greens, hot pinks and glittery gold into the darkness. Heads were mashing so hard to the songs, like a drug, with eyes on fire and souls shining so bright that their skins started to glow. It was simply electrifying.

"Let's start with a couple of shots!" Tania shouted to Lee as she held him by the arm and led him through the swarm of warm bodies to get to the bar.

"We'll get six shots of Tequila, please," Lee called out to the server, who then trotted to the enormous wall of alcohol, the bottles' colors muted due to the hazy smoke that twisted in an artistic way, forming curls in the gloom.

"Cheers!" Both exclaimed as they held their shooters above their heads and drank the alcohol pure, one after the other. The burning sensation did not last long. Instead the liquid flowed into their veins like it was on IV drip.

They ordered another batch of six and downed three each, this time feeling every scorching sensation left by the alcohol down their throats.

"May the best dancer win," Tania pondered, stepping onto the dance floor and slipping in among the crowd.

"Don't try to challenge me, Tania. You know I'm gonna win," Lee scoffed mockingly, joining her into the mass.

"That remains to be seen."

The brown-haired girl started to groove to the beat. She moved to the 2000s music like a puppet on strings. She advanced, retreated, her arms waving from side to side above her head and her head swaying. She then paused and posed like a supermodel exhibiting her sexy lingerie on the runway, and waited.

It was Lee's turn. He was impressed by her improvised moves, but he knew he could turn his up a notch. Making his entrance onto the floor with a clap of his hands and a confident step to the beat, he jiggled and shimmied. Lee electrified the air with his raging energy like a hundred thousand fireflies igniting the atmosphere. He burst into flames with every bob of his head, every jiggle of his shoulders, and every gyration of his hips. He sparkled on the dance floor, and he was proud of it. He then struck a pose himself and gratified Tania with a challenging look.

She smiled confidently and took a step towards her opponent as the music changed pace and grew even louder. Her arms left her body as she danced her inhibitions away. Her fingers clicked to the right and clicked to the left. Her elbows gracefully tore through the air, in perfect rhyme with her feet. She moved in her dress like her hips were made to sway. As one arm was outstretched, her waist jerked outward vivaciously. The other arm followed suit with yet another jerk of her slim waist. Then taking that same arm and swooping it forcefully in a circle around and back into her body allowed her to rotate at brisk velocity and speed. After completing a few turns, Tania closed up her routine by posing like a majestic ballerina concluding her performance, and faced Lee, awaiting his next moves.

By then, the other people in the club have cleared sufficient space for the couple and watched their dance-off eagerly, cheering and shouting words of stupefaction and amazement for their favorite dancer.

"You're good," Lee publicized towards Tania as he clapped his hands. "But, this is not over yet."

Kicking his right leg forward with pointed toes and flexed calf muscles, the dark-haired actor pivoted in a revolving whirl of sharp precision and accurate grace. The entirety of his being began advancing in movement with purposeful clarity and absolute control. With each poised stride he took, the crowd's cheers grew even more tumultuous, feeding Lee's energy like oil fed fire. He turned elegantly, with the same debonair aura and might that he channelled when portraying the King of the Woodland Realm.
