"ah well i cant wait for that day" she said jokily. She watched Cassie and memorised all her movements. She copied her wen Cassie sipped her water. She managed to remember all the movements but her abersque was a nit wobbly. Nevertheless she continued - she had learnt doing years of drama if you wobble or anything goes wrong cover it up. She felt that this wouldnt really help her much in dance though. She smiled when she finished, "it was alright" she said, "how did i do?" she asked.

Cassie clapped, "Really well, you managed to pick that up really quickly. Now the best thing to do is to go through everything piece by piece. Then I can correct your posture or your lines and help your transitions" Cassie said, it was one of her usual techniques and it had always worked well in the past. She put her bottle down and stepped towards Kay. "Now what's the starting position?" she asked Kay.

"extendinf gracefull behind and rise reversing positions of the arms" she said hoping the answer was correct, "you know i'm going to get a dictionary for all this technical jargon you're using" she said smiling. Kay started the position she had just said and waited for the corrections.
((Improv the corrections lol))

Cassie nodded, "That's right" she said, pleased with how fast Kay was picking everything up. Cassie paced around Kay, observing her from every position. She titled Kay's head down slightly and brought her arm up a little higher. She put Kay's lower palm up to the ceiling and brought her fingers together. "Keep everything straight and clean" she said. Satisfied with the position she said. "Now remember how this feels, how your head is slightly lower, your arm is higher, your palm is open" Cassie comanded "Now rise" she said, watching Kay's every muscle.

"Thanks" she said and then tried to rise. It was difficult and she wobbled a bit but managed to and she held it for as long as she could - about 10-15 seconds then she came down. "i'll remember how it all feels tomorrow especially" she said joking.

Cassie laughed, "I spent five years remembering how it felt" she said, before returning to teaching. "Now when you rise, life your head up so you can look at the ceiling. Also flip your palms over so that you higher one is facing the floor and your lower one the ceiling." Cassie said slowly so Kay could remember it. "Do it again" she said promptly, she knew that Kay would probably start complaining at some point, but if she wanted to learn how to dance.

"I promised myself i wouldnt complain and i wont" she said smiling. She tried her hardest and got it surely enough but it took a little perseverance. She smiled, "tell me if i get it wrong at all" she added.

Cassie nodded and watched Kay closely, picking up on even the tiniest faults as her training had demanded. "Pretty good" Cassie admitted. "Now flow into the arabesque" she asked, watching Kay's transitions.

"thanks" she said smiling. She managed to flow perfectly into the arabesque "whoo" she cried before falling over "i bet that was a one time thing though" she said, "i think what made it easier was all the helping you've done" she added smiling and summoned her water and drank some before getting up.

Cassie nodded, "You're doing really well for a beginner. You should try yoga" she suggested. "It helps you find your centre of balance so that you can do this." Cassie finished before swooping down into an elegant arabesque then as she came up leaping into the air and spinning several times before landing lightly.

Cassie smiled and nodded, "In time you will be able to. Honestly, you will never reach the standards I have attained, but that is not out of lack of skill or enthusiasm, but lack of time. I started dancing when I was three and never stopped. I trained every day for years, my diet was carefully balanced and the dances were drummed into me until I could do them in my sleep." Cassie said, explaining what she meant. "I have danced in my sleep as well" Casie added with a laugh.

"Well i'm glad." replied Kay listening, "i knew you didnt mean skill" she said finally, "cause i dont think you're that harsh" she added with a wink and a smile. She got up off the floor, "alright im ready for the next bit" she said, "or isnt there one" she finished.

"Well go from the arabesque, slowly so that I can correct you as you go" Cassie asked as she moved closer to scrutinise Kay's lines and posture. "Remember extend the arms and keep the head still." Cassie reminded her.
((Just make up what you're doing lol))

Kayleigh glided into the abersque and held it for a couple of seconds before wobbly stepping into a spinning jump which she managed to execute although her landing was a little bit wobbly. She then moved into jumping and letting out kicks every so often. She pretty much made up her own dance. "sorry i kinda forgot the other one" she said grimacing, but nevertheless please with herself.
