The Black Swan
(Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t23RffX ... 8&index=16 skip to 5:58 for what she dances to)
Guess who's back? Back again. Min-seo, that's who. She was here just because. She now was coming like, every other day just to dance. Her hair was in a high bun and she had cream-colored tights under her black shorts, and she was wearing a grey shirt. Pretty basic, if you ask her. She opened the big double doors in front of her to the huge ballroom in front of her. She was in quite a good mood, to be honest. She went to the same old bench that was always there and sat down. She put down her duffel bag and took out her water bottle and ballet shoes. She set the water beside her and slipped the pink shoes onto her delicate feet. She turned on the music that she decided to use. Black swan. Why not? She'd been wanting to practice this, so why not now. She walked to the middle of the room and started to dance, putting her emotion into her dance, becoming the character. She was broken inside and sad, but manipulative, the black swan. She poured emotion into every dance she did. She didn't hear anyone walk in, and kept on dancing. No one stopped Min-seo Kim when she was in the middle of dancing.

Cheryl didn't know how to dance really. It really was as simple as that. She loved music and even wrote her own music at times, but the girl couldn't dance. Even though she knew this, she still loved to try to dance to music. She went to the ballroom to try dancing there and imagine herself dancing in a real ball. As she went in the ballroom, she heard music playing and saw a girl with tights on under black shorts and a grey shirt on with her hair in a bun. She looked at the girl's graceful movements and beautiful form. She only wished she could dance like that. Cheryl immediately recognized the music. It was from The Black Swan. The girl's dancing matched the music perfectly. Cheryl looked at her bright pink tights under her white shorts and her light grey shirt. Her hair was pulled back into a long ponytail. She didn't look as pretty as the other girl but she was comfortable. She didn't want the girl to stop dancing so she sat down on the floor and watched the girl dance to the music. It was a very calming dance. Cheryl just wished she could dance like that.

Min-seo made eye contact with the girl out of the corner of her vision. When did she get here? She gave a small smile and kept dancing. An audience. Okay, no messing up then. She kept on spinning and using her flexibility and thin frame to her advantage. The song started to escalate. This was Min-seo's favorite part. She put more emotion into her dance as she lost control of herself. She felt her legs work on their own as she leaped through the air, doing complicated moves. It was mesmerizing. She reached the loudest part of the song and gave it her all. The music started to end and she did a few spins and ending on the ground in a swan-like position. She heard the music stop and she looked up at the girl with a smile. "Hello! I probably should have said hi earlier, sorry. My name is Min-seo Kim, and you?" she said this while walking back to the bench to get her water. She took a big sip from it. Her legs were literally about to give out from the dancing, and they hurt quite a lot. She mentally slapped herself for not stretching earlier, it would've made things much easier.

Cheryl clapped as the song came to an end and the girl stopped dancing. "Hi, I'm Cheryl Gorham. It's ok about not saying hi earlier. I was mesmerized by your dancing." Cheryl wondered how Min-seo was able to dance so gracefully and to captivate a person like that. Cheryl had only dreamed of ever doing that. She wanted to know if Min-seo could teach her how to dance. It looked like she had no problem dancing and she seemed pretty confident in herself. Cheryl stood up and walked over to Min-seo. "You dance amazingly and I was wondering if you could teach me how to dance. I don't know how to dance but I always catch myself dreaming about it. I really would like to be able to dance even a simple dance." Cheryl wondered if she had said too much to her since they just met. She hoped that she didn't come off as obnoxious by any means. Hopefully, the girl would teach Cheryl something and not just leave Cheryl here alone stuck only dreaming about dancing one day. It would be great if Min-seo and Cheryl could dance together one day. Cheryl just hoped for the very best.

Min-seo smiled shyly at the clapping. "It's a pleasure to meet you Cheryl. And thank you." she said softly. She usually didn't dance in front of people, but today she was in a good mood, so she decided to keep dancing. Cheryl was wrong about her being confident. She actually was really shy. She did try to get better at becoming more confident, for she, on multiple occasions, had been interrupted by people coming into the ballroom, and she had always stopped, extremely embarrassed. But hey, today was a good day for her, and she rarely had good days. She walked back over to Cheryl, who was walking towards her. She smiled. Cheryl seemed like a nice girl. The other girl asked if Min-seo could teach her how to dance, and that she'd been dreaming about it for a long time. Min-seo smiled and nodded. "Of course I can teach you! I think you would be amazing at ballet. I'll teach you the basics and then we'll go from there. Is that alright?" she said a smile still on her porcelain face. Min-seo thought it would be great to teach Cheryl, again, she seemed very nice and seemed to have a passion for dance. She smiled at her. "I'm warning you, it does get hard," she said.

Cheryl smiled and was thankful that Min-seo would teach her. "Starting from the basics is fine. Thank you so much for being willing to teach me how to dance. It means so much to me." Cheryl hoped that she would be able to learn the moves and to actually retain them in her mind. This meant so much to her and she wanted to learn as much as possible. She wondered if Min-seo could teach her on other days as well. That would be nice to have her as a teacher for more than one day. Cheryl looked down at her feet and told herself that those very feet attached to her would soon be dancing to music. Cheryl didn't care how hard it got. She would give it her best shot and continue to try her very best until she got the hang of it. She wondered if Min-seo had taken lessons when she was younger or if she just taught herself to dance. "Min-seo, I was wondering if you had taught yourself to dance or if you had lessons in the past? Also, I wanted to know how long you have been dancing for." Cheryl hoped that she hadn't asked anything that might have been a private thing. Cheryl really was just interested in knowing about Min-seo and her dancing skills.

Min-seo clapped her hands together with a soft smile. "Lovely! Don't say I didn't warn you though, I will be a bit strict when it comes to this, but don't worry, I have good intentions. I want you to be happy," she said with a small giggle. She loved teaching people things, for some weird reason. She just loved to help others. She ran to her device. She grabbed it, changing the song to something that was quite easy to follow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tr0otuiQuU) She came to the middle of the room. She thought that this music was perfect for a warm-up, and that was exactly what she needed to do for Cheryl at first. Then they could move on once their muscles were looser and turns and jumps were easier. She smiled at Cheryl. She asked if she'd been taught dance or if she learned by herself. "Well, in the beginning, I used to live in South Korea with my parents. Sorry, my explanation is going to require detail into my family. We had this huge ballroom in the house, and my mother taught me until she, well, died when I was 7. After that when I moved to my Grandfathers, I taught myself, and now I'm here," she said with a sad smile. She sighed. "We're going to start with a warm-up. It can be boring, but it's necessary." she said with a happier smile. "Ready?"
