Thread: All the Right Moves | ockeroid and colada

OOC I added a video c You can stop it at 1 58 to get the thirty seconds of the routine. Kirov started off the class with the five basic positions of ballet and general routines to gauge Charlottes skill level and give the rest a lighter day. Tomorrow would be back to normal. He watched how her body moved, his eyes zeroing in on the arc of her pale arms and the position of her feet both of which formed a precise pointe. She had the perfect body one women would kill for if possible. She was weightlessperfect. It was to be expected of course. One didnt get into Marinsky if they didnt have the basics down or the look and she definitely wouldn't be in his class but he still felt it necessary to see for himself how each individual moved and transitioned. You have nice formremember to let your head follow the movements. Limbs move together and in the same direction as your head. Kirovs fingers pressed against the center of her back and moved upwards to the nape of her neck, applying pressure in the direction it needed to turn before letting go. Her turnouts were straight and she had impeccable posture he was sure she had the fortune to be blessed with in addition to well practiced routines. However, it that seemed to extend to her transitions as well making her appear stiff. From the second she entered the studio he could see that she was a reserved girl and wasnt surprised it carried over to her dancing. Okay good. Return to first position. He walked past each dancer, straightening postures, repositioning arms, and tucking in hips where they were needed before standing in the middle of the classroom and addressing his students. Im going to teach you a new set. When Im finished I want each of you to repeat it for me. A good dancer knows the steps. A great dancer experiences them. You need to learn how to follow through with the movement and let it flow. It will feel odd, sometimes even sloppy but we will work on that later. For now I just want you to feel it. While ballet would always be about control and precision it had changed over the years, often times mixing with modern dance. It was no longer good enough to have good isolation, letting go and making use of the whole body was now needed as well. He also happened to hear the directors performance was a mix of traditional and modern dance. She wanted versatility and he wanted to give her that. Adams was interesting that way. She embraced the changes in dance while most of her colleagues looked down on it. It made for interested faculty meetings. Taking a deep breath, he began the routine . It was no longer than thirty seconds but he knew it wasnt something that would come easy to all of them being that it was totally different from what hed been teaching them the past four months. This was the type of dance that he first fell in love with but he thought it was necessary for him to learn ballet first before delving into other branches of ballet. Needless to say, he stuck with the traditional but it was nice to loosen up sometimes. He finished the dance with a sweep of his hands to the floor as his back curved into a perfect C. When he stood back up he could see a few people smiling with excitement while others appeared nervous or annoyed. No pain, no gain guys. The first victim can come up. He found that even the more eager students couldnt complete the whole thirty seconds, and if they did, their movements were that of the most trained ballerina. Even so, they some were better than hed expected. He stood behind each of them, guiding their movements so they wouldnt injure themselves and could better feel the movements, all the while waiting until Charlottes turn arrived. Up until that point Kirov managed to keep his head on his shoulders, doing his job like he would each and every day prior to her arrival but as the class neared its end he found that he wanted to a closer look at her, wanted to figure out if the scent that followed her was lavender or chamomile. He wanted to see if she felt like Audrey in his arms. He knew he the thoughts were inappropriate, she was too young to be anything other than a pupil and as long as he kept that in mind he wouldnt overstep any lines, real or imaginary. He just wanted to make his heart cooperate with his mind. Kirov wanted to heart to realize Audrey was gone and she wouldnt be coming back. Hm, but Kirov you know things such as this arent coincidences. You may have outgrown the Russian fairytales but they certainly didnt outgrow you. All except Charlotte had completed the dance and all eyes turned to her with curiosity. He was sure many of them wanted to know what she was about, if she was competition. He could feel his arms tiring from spotting the dancers and his cheeks held a flush that could only come from exertion but he had more than enough energy to spare. Holding out his hand, he cocked a brow and tilted his head. Why dont we see if we saved the best for last?
