Touching the Heart of Ace

??One more time, guys, once more. One two... three four... skip... five six... seven eight... swirl. Again! eight seven... six five... skip... four three... one two... swirl.??

We all stretched when the instructor corrected some dancers who were still not getting it.

??Good job, everyone. Maya, you are seducing your crush through dance. Wiggle your forefinger a bit, you are not asking him to follow you to punch him on the face.??

Everyone laughed including Maya. ??Sorry, Hell.??

Helen, our instructor waved away her apology. ??Okay, now with the music. Ready, one... two...three...??

Who said dancing was no exercise? My waist was killing me. I changed my clothes and tightened the belt a bit to ease the back pain.

I drank mineral water like I walked through Sahara because apparently plain water after a heavy workout will reduce our electrolyte concentration and make us feel dizzy, at least that was what Helen said.

??Yo, David. A word please.??

??Yes, Ma??am.??

??Call me Helen, or Hell. Are you sure you had no proper upbringing in dance? You dance pretty well for a self-taught swan.??

I smiled. ??Yes, Helen, I was this nerd kid with too much free time at home, so...??

??Why the management said you are not interested in programmes or professionally following this path? You have potential. Rough around the edges, but I can help you with that. This is an advanced class and you dance better than half of the strength. Pretty big deal considering you are here only for two weeks. You would have done much better in ballet if you were young but... Not that I am not happy to have you, ballet is not my dance, I am glad you are my student.??

??Thanks, Helen, but... I am an engineering student; I am here for some exercise. Dance is my hobby.??

??That is a shame, you could reach places. But, I would rather have a passionate student than an uptight gonna-be-diva.?? I followed her line of sight and chuckled seeing Vanya glaring at us. She was a model and had acted in some series. Gossip mail said she was the next big deal in Hollywood.

But, the girl was not uptight. She was funny and all around a polite girl except with Helen.

??The problem might be you, Helen.??

??Yeah, she hates my guts. I think she is homophobic. I do not even touch her but she goes all angry when I touch others. Whatever...??

??I think that is the problem.?? I mumbled.
