On The Dance Floor

And so it begins

The rehearsal schedule was out, I was doubled up on everything considering I had to learn Claras part as well. 

I would be running until 6:30 am to 9:30 pm. 

School and straight to dance. 

Saturdays weren't any better. 

"How's if feel?" Kendal asks, walking up to me. 

"How does what feel?" I ask. 

"Being my understudy" She smiles "I'm better than you, how does it feel?" 

I sigh "Congrats on getting Clara, you deserve it" 

"I know" Kendal says, flipping her ponytail. 

"Aren't you breaking uniform?" I ask. 

Since we all only had Ballet for four weeks, we had uniform. 

Tights, leotard, bun, and pointe shoes.

Sophie, the snowflakes and I  also had to have Tutus since our costume would have one, but those were provided here.

"I'm the lead, I don't need to follow uniform" Kendal responds.

Okay no.

You just don't break uniform. 

Even if you're the lead.

It means nothing, no special treatment. 

I shake my head as she walks away, slipping on my white tutu "Idiot" 

I bend down to lace up my pointe shoes then get picked up and spun around. 

"Put me down" I laugh. 

Will turns me around to face him and kisses me. 

"What are you doing here?" I ask. 

 "Harper has tap" He shrugs "I see you're ready for rehearsals" 

I spin around "That obvious?" 

Sophie walks over to us "You're not supposed to be back here" 

Will frowns "Buzz kill" 

"I would usually be fine with it, but this showcase is one of the most important thing to studio 42, It's serious stuff" Sophie explains. 

"Okay, Okay" Will sighs "I guess I'll go be bored and watch rehearsals from the viewing room" 

Will gives me one last kiss before exiting the dressing room.  

"He's one love sick puppy" Sophie laughs. 

"I know" I shake my head. 

"I never thought I'd see the day where you and your rival are in love" Sophie smiles, putting her hand over her heart "How romantic" 

I flick her and laugh "Shut up" 

Mrs. Hanna walks out of studio A "I need snowflakes in studio B, Snow king and queen in C, Sugarplum fairy in D,  and mice and solders in here! Clara and the nutcracker have a break for an hour"  

We all scatter to our assigned studio. 

Jordan and I were with Ryan, He was one of the senior ballet instructors. 

"My spotlight babes!" He smiles. 

Ryan was 24, talented, married to a lovely man named Frank and I haven't worked with him since I was a mini.

We laugh and hug him. 

"You are my snow royalty, now, you have a lot to learn in 4 weeks, so lets get started!" Ryan smiles.
