Dance teacher.
Can I Have This Dance? [Discontinued]
Kyuhyun was practicing his dancing. I guess it is the new choreography. He was so concentrated that he didn’t see me coming closer. I’ve never seen someone that focused. I have to admit that he was not the best dancer on Earth. His moves were too straight and harsh and he didn’t use his legs a lot. He looked like a stick of wood that someone was shaking furiously. However, he wasn’t bad either. He seemed to know the steps. Although he was sometimes off beat, he kept dancing to the music in the right rhythm.
Suddenly, he jumped but lost his balance and fell on the floor, “Aish! I can’t get this right!” he ruffled his hair in frustration.
I ran to him, “Are you okay Kyuhyun-shi?” I asked worriedly,
“Oh! Sorin-shi!” he looked at me, “How long have you been here?”
“Sorry… You looked so concentrated, I didn’t want to disturb you,” I apologized,
“No it’s fine! It’s just that you’ve probably saw my lame dancing,” he laughed scratching the back of his head. At least he admitted it,
“You were good!” I tried to be as convincing as I can, so I smiled widely
“You need to take some acting lesson! You’re really bad at lying!” he laughed,
“Oh… Err…” I looked down awkwardly.
“I should work harder and practice more,” he said and got up and so did I,
“You should soft your moves and use your weight on the floor more,” I suggested,
He suddenly stopped smiling and glared at me. I took a step backward and hung my head down. Crap! I think his mad…
“Whom do you think you are to tell me how to dance?” he asked coldly.
What’s with people changing 180° today?
“Uh… Err… Sorry… I didn’t want to make you mad…”
I heard him chuckle, “I was kidding,” he said. I looked up,
“Oh…” I was relieved,
“Maybe you can help me!” he said,
What?
“M-Me?” I asked,
“Yeah! Aren’t you already a professional?” he said,
“Uh… Well…”
“It’s okay if you don’t want to,” he said,
“No! I want to!” I beamed. He laughed. Aish… Why did I say that? I look so stupid right now! “I mean… I can help you! It doesn’t bother me at all!”
“Well thank you!” he smiled, “So! Were do we start teacher?” he asked,
“Uh… Well, I don’t know the choreography yet…”
“Oh right! Well… Eunhyuk-Hyung recorded it for me so I could practice on my own. Do you want to watch it?”
“Sure!”
He went to the bench where there was a little laptop, “Come here,” he sat on the bench and tapped some things on the keyboard.
I sat next to him and he gave me the laptop so I could see. I watched Eunhyuk dancing to the music. The moves are a bit different from the traditional ones we learned at school. It was less technical and didn’t require much flexibility. However, it looked very good and it had a lot of fierce! I liked it!
The video stopped and I nodded.
“So? What do you think?” Kyuhyun asked,
“It’s great! I really like it!” I said,
He smiled, “Take your time to learn it!”
“Can I try it out?” I asked,
“Sure!” he said and walked to the CD player to put on the music.
I got ready in front of the mirror. As soon the music started, I began with the finger-snapping thing. I danced to the song trying to make the right moves. It was a pretty energetic choreography as it had a lot of jumping so I got out of breath really quickly. But it was fun to dance! Plus, it’s a song about a beautiful woman so it had to be danced with a lot of fierce and intensity in the eyes.
“Opta, opta, opta, opta~” the song ended and I bowed,
I turned to Kyuhyun, “So, is it right?” I asked while panting,
Kyuhyun just stared at me, his mouth and eyes wide opened, “H-How did you?” he blinked, “You saw the choreography only ONCE!” he showed his index,
“Ah,” I said, scratching the back of my neck, “Well the director of our musical was really strict and he wanted us to learn the dances quick so… I got used to it, “I said,
“But still! This is inhuman!” he got up of the bench, ”This is awesome!”
“Thank you,” I bowed my head,
There was an awkward silence between us before he asked, “So, should we start the lesson?”
“Uhm… Maybe you could dance one more time so I can see what to change and all,” I suggested,
“Sure! You’re the teacher here!” and he showed me his dancing. I watched closely to see what advice I should give him,
“Well… Since you know the choreography, your moves are a bit anticipated and once you finish a step, you rush to the next one. When you dance like this, it looks incomplete and people will think you just want to finish up quick and go back home,”
“What can I do to change this?”
“Try to move slower and relax your muscles,” I said, patting his arms,
“Well… The company told me that I should work out more to have toned abs and arms so my dancing would be better,”
“Dancing is not about being strong and have abs and blablabla… It’s about you and your mind. About what you want to show people. So, just move slower,”
“How?”
“Uhm… Imagine you’re in the water,” I said,
He nodded and tried again.
“That’s already better!” I smiled,
“Wow! It actually works!” he said,
“My teacher in Juilliard taught me that. I used to have the same problem,”
“So you’re copying your teacher! That’s cheating!” he joked,
“If you’re not okay with this, let’s just stop!” I crossed my arms,
“Ooh~ someone’s using authority right now!”
“You’re the one who said that I’m the teacher here! So just listen to me or you’ll be punished,” I shook my finger,
“Yes ma’am,” he bowed his head,
“One more thing! You look like you’re going to kill someone with the expression you have when you dance,” I laughed,
“Huh?” he put both of his hands on his face, “Do I?”
“Look at that derp face!” I said pointing at the mirror,
He looked at himself while dancing, “Gosh you’re right! I look like a zombie!” he pointed at his self-reflection,
I laughed, “If you glare at the camera like this, the fans will get scared,”
“I can’t help it! I’m so into it that I don’t think about my face,” he said,
“Then think that you’re dancing for someone you like and not yourself!”
“Who? I already dance for the fans,”
“Someone you know well! Someone who knows you well!”
“Mmh…” he thought, “My Mom?”
“For example!”
We kept dancing for the next 2 hours and somehow, we ended up dancing randomly: lame popping, ‘Gee’, ‘Sorry, Sorry’, and octopus dance…
But the best part was when he asked me to teach him ballet. It was hilarious!
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” I laughed to tears,
“Stop it! It’s not funny!” he whined, blushing like crazy.
He really wanted to lean ballet. But this kind of dance required really special clothes. TIGHTS!
“Oh my God! This is just amazing! I should take a picture and post it on Twitter!”
“If you do this I’ll kill you!” he threatened,
“Super Junior’s Cho Kyuhyun in a ballet session!” I laughed,
“I’ll just go to change! This is too embarrassing!” he went back to the bathroom with heavy steps,
“Hey! You didn’t even wear the Tutu!” I joked,
He just glared at me and went to change. I sat on the floor and whipped my tears.
I didn’t know how we managed to become so close in only 3 hours! Even faster than when I met Jason! Kyuhyun is an amazing guy! I like him!
“WE’RE BACK!” I heard Eunhyuk’s voice ring,
“Oh! The members are here!” I said,
“Yeah. We’re probably going to eat diner now,” Kyuhyun said, coming out of the bathroom in his normal clothes.
“Great! I’m starving!” I said, then I turned back to him, “So, the lesson is over. You’ve improved a lot!” I said,
“Thanks to you! I’ll do better next time!”
“Next time?”
“Well yeah! You’re my personal dance teacher now!” he said,
I smiled.
HAHAHA! Can you imagine Kyuhyun in tights?? And the octopus dance from EHB!! xD
I would give anything to be Kyuhyun’s personal dance teacher, won’t you?
Anyway…
Chu~
