Satin pointe shoes roll up and down to warm up toes for later moves. Slender arms sways to the music as a core flexibly bends. The girl is Noelle Blair. A girl who had been dancing for a few years under a strict but good teacher, named Elizabeth who was well in her late nineties. Noelle is just practicing now seeing it was a Saturday night with an open slot. She would’ve done something else, but she wasn’t exactly the party hard and club harder kind of girl like some of her friends. So, being a good girl, she headed to the dance studio around 5pm to practice. She didn’t really know what to practice, but for now barre exercises. Facing the mirror, which is a window from the outside, Noelle straightens her body to begin a slow développé. She starts by going through a coupé, then a passé, then an arabesque, and finally an extension of the leg to a perfect 180 degrees. Noelle takes her left hand, which was holding the barre, and places it on her elevated right foot. She grabs onto her foot and pulls it slowly to bring it more close to her side. Then, as a stretch, she holds her leg there for at least 8 counts of music. The girl couldn’t help but wonder what some passing people were thinking when they notice what Noelle is doing. Some people she knew would sit there and stare in awe, wanting to gain and learn dance. It is indeed an interesting place to have this type of studio. Most girls would pass by it without a second glance, but others enter the building and look at class schedules. It is surprising how much Noelle thinks about these things. She never thought she would… Noelle lowers her right leg slowly and places it onto the barre, her hips square to the mirror. She slides forward still wondering if she has an audience.

To her disappointment music was already playing in the room, indicating that someone was already there. She didn't bother to peek first on the door's glass window to see whether it was occupied or not assuming the students are mostly in the other parts of the town most likely having their 'fun' in this Saturday night. Ashe blonde locks were held back on a tight bun exposing more of her doll-like facial features while her slender body dressed in tights and leotards ready to have a little stretch. She was actually planning to read a new book one of her friends sent but her mood was ruined upon receiving a letter from her brother at the same time, so she decided to leave her room and relax with music and dancing. For a moment her eyes narrowed seeing that it was a day class student, a human. And just when she was trying to avoid her half-breed brother's letter now a human student was there first to practice ballet. She thought how unlucky she is to always encounter them whenever she tries to avoid them the most. So she just stood there leaning by the wall beside the door and observed with a nonchalant look on her face how this student is with her dancing skills.

Her hands rummaged through the CD’s and she smiled when she saw a CD with the music labeled Carmen. Elizabeth had taught Noelle this a while ago, so she now wanted to test her memory of it. Despite being deaf, Elizabeth had set Noelle in a way she moved by muscle memory. Elizabeth would show Noelle a tempo by the tapping of her cane, and Noelle’s body would naturally follow that tempo. The Carmen piece the tall girl had chosen had many hits and flirtatious movements. When she was ready, she turned on the music. Noelle’s brain wound with the tempo of Elizabeth’s cane. She danced with grace and flexibility. Leg kicks turned into the grabbing of an ankle ending with a sensual pose. Everything about that piece was flirtatious which Noelle enjoyed very much. Now she wasn’t the one to particularly act flirtatious in school, but when it came to ballets like Carmen, Noelle was probably the most flirtatious dancer ever. Each movement was done to a memorized tempo, and when a certain hit came, Noelle made sure she hit the right note with the right sharp move. If one misses a hit, it’s too late to turn back. Ballet was a dance that is enjoyable but is more complex than non-dancers think. Near the end of the piece, Noelle’s sapphire eyes caught glimpse of a girl…a girl prettier than an average girl. Didn’t think Night Class girls danced…. she thought to herself, almost an insult in a way. Noelle stopped and walked back over to the barre, this time to the barre closest to the entrance from the waiting room to the dance room. ”You can come in you know… Dancers can share space…” she chimed, but loud enough for the person outside could hear her. Of course she couldn’t tell if she was loud enough. She wondered if the person would enter or not, but it really didn’t matter to the French dancer. She played another song, and as the song played—Noelle goes flying across the room in a tombé, glissade, and saut de chat. local: the dance studio is in town. Just to let you know.

Night Class \| Level B Posts: 109 Group: Accepted Member Member #537 Joined: Nov 2, 2011	OOC: Thanks~ Alright, I thought we were using one of the school facilities. The doll face remained nonchalant but she clearly heard her. On the way she danced she could tell that this girl has been taking her ballet career seriously however she on the other hand had a lot of time and just got interested in learning when she was little. She didn't study the dance just for the heck of it of course, when she was just a child her mother took her to watch a performance. The dancers' beauty and gracefulness entranced her. Thinking just like before if she'd be able to, her father might look at her but now it is just one of the many things she had learnt. If she would have someone to play with she'd rather spend her day to play tennis. But she'd not in Italy anymore, none of her friends or acquaintances are around. In her every move Aeonviel's body spoke of elegance. Moving onto the other side of the room she began her stretches on the barre proceeding to plies, eleve, battement tendu, rond de jambe then to light prancing, the feeling sinking in and getting her into the mood. How Nostalgic... she thought as the music on the other side of the room filled her ears. It's been a while since the last time she danced and all those times not once did her father was there to watch her. Then why am I still here, doing this again? Her graceful body then started moving effortlessly on the routine for Giselle. It would have been much better if she can play the music to dance to but seeing as the other dancer was still playing hers, her memory and feeling for this story is enough for her to dance. It was the first ballet she had performed remembering how the people loved her performance made her smile a bit, specially how her mother praised her, her thoughts then was interrupted by a voice. You're just like Giselle Edmund's voice rang in her head and in that moment a step on a pointe caused her to lose balance and twist her ankle. Her form dropping on the floor with her hand holding her injured foot as she felt angry on such humiliation and very caused of it was a memory of her brother.

She had her back to her but it was easy to see what the other girl was doing because the walls were basically all mirrors. Her eyes look only a few times, but through the mirrors. Her sapphire eyes watched the barre exercises and noticed she had broken off into a Giselle piece. It was indeed a lovely piece because of the simplicity of it and the grace it held. Too bad it had ended so abruptly with the girl falling over. Must be someone who hasn’t danced in years or an amateur… she thought to herself as she walked over and turned the music over. The tall French girl grabbed an ice pack and some bandages and walked over to the girl. She bent her 5’11” frame and gave a quick glance. ”Nothing is broken or sprained. I suggest some ice and an ace bandage. Also, if you’re still going to continue practicing, canvas slippers will be a lot less painful than pointe shoes.” Noelle placed the stuff down next to her and stood back up to meet the gray eyes of Elizabeth. ”Bonjour….I see you have been practicing?” ”Oui, Madame.” ”What?” ”Carmen Part 1, Madame.” ”Her?” the old women asked, giving a glance towards the hurt dancer. ”Giselle, Madame.” ”I see. Come hither, my dear.” Noelle followed Elizabeth towards the area Noelle was practicing earlier. ”Noëlle, la connaissez-vous?” ”Non, je n'ai pas, Elisabeth.” ”Eh bien de toute façon. Avez-vous pratiqué l'fouettés italienne je vous ai demandé de faire encore? ” ”Non.” ” Vous pouvez les mettre en pratique maintenant.” “Oui.” Elizabeth walked towards the CD player and gave a glance towards the other dancer. ”Join us when you’re ready. I’d like to see your skill level. I think you’re capable of joining a high end company.” The older woman walked back towards Noelle with a remote in her hand. She pushed play and queues the blue haired female to start. Noelle then began working on her Italian fouettes with Elizabeth carefully watching. Noelle, do you know her? No, I do not, Elizabeth. Well anyways. Have you practiced the Italian fouettes I’ve asked you to do yet? No. You can practice them now. Yes. Edited by Noelle Blair, Jan 25 2012, 06:43 AM.

Night Class \| Level B Posts: 109 Group: Accepted Member Member #537 Joined: Nov 2, 2011	OOC: >.< ack I'm so sorry that it takes too long for me to reply at times ;A; It's just that it's been so busy at work lately x.x Aeonviel didn't look at the other dancer at all even if she came up to her and took the time to give her the ice pack and bandages. I didn't ask for any help she thought angrily, her pride hurt with getting humiliated in front of a human let alone being given assistance. Despite of hearing another person arrive, she kept her stubborn attitude not moving an inch from her position. Her hand then gently started massaging her aching foot. She can tell, obviously the old woman who arrived must be the other girl's mentor. Even if she was a teacher, she doesn't want to be of lower standing than that of a human. She doesn't want to show respect, she doesn't want to heed her words of instructions, she doesn't need to join or dance for a high end company, that's just ridiculous! For a being like her who has so much time in her hands dancing for people let alone humans was never on her interest. No, she wanted to dance for her father but then his eyes never had the spare time to even glance at her. Her cold eyes finally showed anger when Edmund crossed her mind again, he insisted that she'd give him a chance, that he truly cared for her specially that she's his only sister. If you truly think that vampires are better than humans, then why didn't father ever gave you a chance? Are you also trying to be like him? He dare say that with a straight face, is he trying to insult them? With the thoughts kept on circling in her mind she then took the ice pack and carefully placed in on her hurting ankle to ease the pain. Still not answering letting the master and student have their practice.

You’re Italian fouette are looking very good.” ”Thank you,” Noelle replied, bowing her head in respect. ”Quel est le problème avec elle?” “Je ne sais pas, Madame.” ”Oh. Eh bien, je n'aime pas son attitude hautaine. Fait d'elle une danseuse horrible, non? Oui ... passons maintenant à la barre. Je veux voir jusqu'où vous êtes devenu dans votre formation de flexibilité.” The tall girl nodded and headed towards the barre. The two women walk past the girl completely ignoring her. Elizabeth didn’t pay attention to people who believed they thought higher of themselves. Noelle lifted her leg and pulled it towards herself. Elizabeth pushed the top her cane onto Noelle’s leg, adding more push to stretch. What is wrong with her? I do not know, Madame. Well I don't like her haughty attitude. Makes her a horrendous dancer, no? Yes...now go to the barre. I want to see how far you have become in your flexibility training.

Intelegence and Morale. Wonderful aren't they?;) Posts: 37 Group: Accepted Member Member #611 Joined: Jan 2, 2012	Noelle had had an audience. Tarah had entered very quietly with a bit of a butterfly storm in her belly after seeing the occupation she wasn't expecting. Her bag hung from one slenderly muscled shoulder and her hair was loose and free -moosed up to avoid frizz. She wore pale blue long sleeve T, black sofes shorts with a zebra strip on each side, and light brown Ugh boots. She looked quite cozy in style over-all. She'd just put her north face jacket up in a closet then when a dancer caught her corner sight. She turned to watch the one who was that moment's performer and as the blue girls movements flared and glided and surprised her Tarah found herself in a chair. Oh this was fantastic! What beauty!! What control and discipline! Just glowing and thrilling grace! Her pale blues twinkled in delight and awe at the mystery of the odd but beautiful mix. The music delighted her ears and the corners of her lips lifted to a gentle smile. It was silly, how excited she was getting but for her...this was where she wanted to be one day... Tarah allowed herself one more moment of the elegant and somewhat flirty fun show then retreated to a table and chair to look over the schedule she'd taken from here on her last visit. 'I'm sure this is the one I want...but...' her mouth firmed and brow furrowed lightly. Was she good enough? Would she fail... Would she be shot down in mid flight... Tarah's clear sky eyes lingered off the sheet in her hands only to land on a sign up clip board. It loomed on the surface, the room fell silent and still to her. Her orbs showed uncertainy and want and....biting her lip, she picked up the board and papers. The fabric was just like other paper she'd dropped but as she closed her eyes, it was completely different and the air around her felt ten times as heavy. 'Am I really going to do this?..'

Night Class \| Level B Posts: 109 Group: Accepted Member Member #537 Joined: Nov 2, 2011	Trying to calm herself as she let the pain cease with the ice pack Aeonviel sat there for almost a minute. She's finally away from her brother but why wouldn't her memories of him just leave her alone? Breathing in and out she closed her eyes as if meditating to clear her mind and in a few moments she was on her feet again. She didn't bother to bandage up her injured foot, there was no need she thought. After putting aside the bandage and the ice pack she went over to her belongings by the locker and took her CD. Approaching the player she then played her music and broke off again into dancing Giselle. This time something seemed different, despite of falling over just a while ago it's as if this awakened her instead. Her dance was better this time. Much more graceful and elegant, what's more it seems that she was able to deliver more of the emotions the dance held. Her stubborn personality maybe at work but being able to get back and keep up with her mistakes is one of her good qualities. A natural quick learner, it's not like she's never danced before anyway it's just been a while and she wouldn't just back down and be pathetic. Filling her mind and heart of Giselle's feelings she danced her heart out. Her dance ended this time a graceful manner with her body cold with sweat but it made her felt good. As she catch her breath, she stared at her form in front of the mirror. It's the same, nothing has change, of course nothing will change she laughed mentally at the thought. Even if she would danced perfectly as Giselle, she can only be someone else for that brief moment of fantasy.

The studio itself had multiple rooms and Elizabeth had the authority to move the other dancer in another room whether she liked it or not. She told Noelle to go get some water and the girl nodded, and walked into the waiting area. Her sapphire eyes noticed a light haired girl who looked lost. Noelle walked over, water bottle in hand. "May I help you with something, miss?" she asked politely with a smile. "If it's about classes, I can explain the courses and schedule." Inside the studio, Elizabeth walked over to the music player and turned off the music. "I'd appreciate it if you moved to another room. I'm going to be teaching a very special class soon," the old lady explained towards the dancer that was left in studio. She soon walked over towards a door and opened it and stood there. In the waiting room Noelle sipes her water and redid her hair as she waited for the other girl to answer.
