From the top! TedXHidgens

Part 3

Ted walked into the studio in basket ball shorts and just a shabby tee shirt. It's not what Hidgens would have suggested Ted where but it will suffice.
"Good afternoon Ted,"
"Yo" Ted nodded uncomfortably at Henry.
"I should have asked this yesterday. How much dance experience do you have exactly?"
"That would be a solid none."
"Ok," This is going to be interesting, "did you stretch before you got here?"
"Uhhhhhh, yes"
That was a blatant lie.
"Ok, Just watch me and do what I do. Alexa, play warm up playlist."
Ted struggled along to the stretches. If this was hard for him the rest of the class is going to be a struggle. He's dedicated though, it really looks like he cares. That's sweet.
"Ok for this stretch you're gonna need to lay on your back and put your legs up against the wall." Henry stood up and directed Ted to a wall. "Ok now you're gonna speed your legs."
"Hey, at least take me to dinner first" Ted smugly smirked up at Hidgens. Henry proceeded to knock Ted's legs from their spot on the wall. This action basically put him into middle splits. Well almost middle splits if we're being generous. Ted inhaled sharply from the pain.
"Hey you're hips are actually relatively flexible considering you dance experience." That was a weird thing to say? Why did he say that? Why did he notice that? Why?
Ted winked up at Henry. He could feel his face warming up. Henry didn't know what to do. So he just pushed down on Ted's legs putting him into a deeper splits and consequently putting him in immense pain. Ted flopped off the wall.
"Ow what the fuck."
Hidgens didn't really mean to hurt him. He just didn't want to think about... that anymore. He offered Ted a hand up. Ted begrudgingly accepted the help.
"Sorry about that, I just wanted to push you to go farther." Stupid Stupid Stupid. Henry is what are you doing.
"Yeah whatever. Are we done with stretching yet?" Ted was starting to look inpatient. It's nice how he cares about this.
"Just about. Are your legs ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine"
"Ok so we are going to start with the basics of ballet. Most dancing that you will do will incorporate these basics. First of all I'm going to need you to adjust your posture. Your slouching a little." Hidgens mirrored Ted's poor posture then adjusted it. Ted tried to adjust his posture but if anything it got worst.
"Do you mind if I?" Henry walked over to Ted and adjusted his shoulders back. They were sturdy. Ted was a relatively unimposing, so this caught Hidgens off guard. "Now straighten your pack and tuck in your tailbone."
"My tailbone?"
"Stop sticking your ass out" That seemed like the easiest way to tell him what to do.
"that's the first time I've been told to do that!" Ted chuckled.
"What... I don't even... ok whatever." Henry did not understand where the joke was in that. Ted was an interesting person.
"This is very uncomfortable." Ted's posture was still mediocre but greatly improved. He was taller, still short next to Henry, but taller.
"You'll get used to it. Ok now we're going to go over ballet positions."
"Oh I know all about positions." Ted smirked and winked at Henry through the mirror.
"I feel like these are getting progressively worse." Hidgens stopped looking in the mirror and turned to the man standing next to him. He took a deep breath and faced the front mirror again. "Watch me carefully.  This is first position... this is second position ... third... fourth... and fifth. Do you understand?"
"Uh wait does my left foot also go in front at one point or is it just all in the right?"
Henry couldn't help but to chuckle. It's kinda cute how fucking stupid he is.
"Sorry That was a stupid fucking question." Ted looked really embarrassed.
"No no I'm glad you're asking questions." Henry smiled at Ted.
The rest of class went on similarly until...
"Well I guess class is over. Weird it feels like class just started." Ted looked at the clock.
"Time flies."
"Hey Henry you have any classes after this? You wanna grab some food? I'm fucking starving."
This was Hidgens last class for the day. He was totally free to get food. But why would he willingly spend more time with this douche bag.
"I'd love to"
