{As instructed by her agent, Diva has started to pick up dancing to add to her resume. Well, dancing that isn't ballroom dancing, anyways. To start off, she has picked up ballet, since according to her instructors, it's the basis for many other dances. Diva doesn't really mind about that, but she has been having fun with it.

As such, she's brought a section of the barre and its mirrors with her, which she's stretching against.}

I almost feel bad that I moved on to the intermediate class so fast, but I guess it's to be expected. Ne, I mean, it would have been the same if I had done another kind of exercise. I'm just naturally better than humans at things like this.

{She's mostly thinking aloud, but as if to demonstrate, moves to hold her leg up for a near-standing split. But then she's back to stretching normally, and sighs}

I'd rather do the partnered dancing, though. The stretching and dancing alone, it's boring. I could just do all of that here.

A lot of them can be. What's the other dance?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what it's called! But it's always to new music. I've never heard of any of it! Some of it isn't good, but it's fun to dance to. The same as in the clubs that I go to sometimes.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be of much help. I'm not all that familiar with 21st century clubs, except to fetch my team out of them occasionally.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Mm, well it's fun anyways! It's very exciting! I'd just started to learn about how to use props too, like chairs. But ballet is nicer, since it's more refined and cultured.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

A bit of variety never hurts. Though out of curiosity, what do you use the chair for?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Would you like to see? I haven't learned the whole routine yet, but it's neat.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

If you wouldn't mind showing me.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Not at all! Just a moment!

{She drops off the Plane, returning quickly with a chair. She pauses for a moment before she starts a routine, but doesn't get terribly far before she laughs sheepishly}

And that's all I've learned so far. But it's really fun!

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[laughs, though it's good natured] You do seem to be enjoying it. It's not a style of dance I'm too familiar with, though.

I'm a bit outdated these days.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

What about ballroom dancing, then?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

That I'm much more familiar with. Waltz and Foxtrot, particularly.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, then that's perfect!

{She closes the distance between them and takes his hands}

Shall we dance, Jack?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack smiles as he takes her hands] Any particular tune in mind?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, we could make it up as we go. I could sing, but then we wouldn't be able to talk.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

I'll lead then. It's been too long since I've waltzed with anyone.

[And he begins to move, the steps and movements coming as easily as if he'd practiced just yesterday]

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Diva moves just as easily, sighing contently}

Then we should waltz together more often. I do love dancing. Almost as much as singing.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Maybe proper music, next time. We could use the ballroom here.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

There's always the one that I brought, but I don't know about trying to get the music to work. But I'd love to.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

If you'd let me have a hand at it, I could have it working quickly enough.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, Jack is a handyman? I didn't know that. That would be nice, though. I could try and help, but I can't say that I would be very useful.
