Welcome Dance - the Gym

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

The streamers and banners are up. So are a zillion multi-colored helium balloons.

The floor is cleared, and the bandstand is up at the north side of the room, ready for Dusted Bunnies to take their places.

The refreshment table, with the (as yet) unspiked punch is in place. There are chips and stuff as well, Chex mix, a few nachos and some guacamole.


Party on, dudes! And welcome to Fandom High.

Pip comes up. "Think you could play a mambo? Or something mambo-esque? How about a mamboleo (http://www.lyricsdownload.com/elisa-mamboleo-lyrics.html)?"

Zero looks a little uncertain. "S'not our usual thing, but yeah, we'll try." There is a bit of hurried discussion among the band, then...

You spin me inside outside
You know you hold me so tight
We'll dance and party all night
Mambo Mambol

So kiss me in the moonlight
You know it always feels right
We'll dance and party all night
Mambo Mambol

You're on my mind every day you are with me
And every night boy you're dancing by me
We dance united together we are one
I'll take you there baby come home with me

Ahhhhh...

Chorus

I'm in love with your voice and your laughter
And just one smile always makes me believe
Our destiny curious if you are mine
Won't you tell me that we're meant to be

Ahhhhh...

Chorus

Mambo Maboleo, Mambo Mambol (x4)

When you dance with me boy
I know you feel my equal (x2)

Mambo Maboleo, Mambo Mambol (x4)

Ahhhhh...

Chorus (x2)

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

Victor lead Walter out onto the dance floor, and grabbed his right hand with his left. "Now, put your left hand on my waist," he instructed.

Walter followed Victor's instruction, smiling faintly while listening for his words over the music. "Lead on."

Victor cleared his throat, trying hard to focus on the dance instead of his partner. "Okay, now I'm gonna step back three steps while you step forward three steps. Like this," he stepped back, leading Walter. "1, 2, 3". Now we reverse. You go back, while I go forward. "1, 2, 3. See?"

"Right." Walter followed Victor's instructions and lead untl he had a better feel for the dance. "Got it. Is there anything else." As it got easier he had more chance to focus on Victor. His skin where they were touching really didn't feel the way you might expect just looking at him. It was both softer and warmer...

One, two, three, forward. Right.

"Yeah, there's lots more, but let's just stick with the basics. Now," he continued, "twist your hips a little. Like this:" He demonstrated by swinging his hip as he stepped. Left back, right back, left back, pause, left forward, right forward, left forward. "Try to feel the music through you. Listen to the beat, and swing your hips to meet it. It's almost like a tango, kinda."

Walter mimicked Victor's movements and followed his instructions about the music. It wsn't too difficult; there was a sort of dance component to fully using the wires, keeping the right rhythm to keep everything moving properly. Walter was able to translate that experience into the dance.

"How close are we supposed to dance?" Walter asked as his hip brushed against Victor's. This close was good. Closer wouldn't elicit complaint.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, trying hard to keep a certain something soft. "As close as you want to," he said, a little shakily.

"Maybe for a slower dance. They do that at these dances, don't they?" ...two, three, forward... Thinking about the steps, nothing else. Not warm hands, cheeks that smell of a cologne he doesn't recognize, and definitely not about any recent kisses. One, two, three, back.

Re: Songs! - Request

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, they do. In fact..." he trailed off, getting an idea. As the song ended, he asked Walter "Are you gonna be okay if I ditch you for a few minutes? I need to go do something."

Re: Songs! - Request

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'll be okay. Pippi and I practiced dancing earlier. I'll have a go with her with music this time." Walter pulled a stick of gun out of his waistcoat, substituting it for the cigarette he was craving, then offered one to Victor. "You'll be back, though?"

He took the gum and stuck it in his coat pocket. "Of course, sir," he said with a butler's bow. As he did so, he took Walter's hand and kissed it gently, then walked off toward the band.

Walter watched him walk away, grinning goofily before going to refresh his punch.
