So Elicchi says that we need to step up our game if we're gonna keep up with all the contestants and other idols out there. I think we need to go have a master course with some pros. What do you say?

[ The Liepard Lounge, the newly opened dance hall and self-proclaimed "classy establishment," located in the heart of the Theater District, was hopping that night. Boasting music that was much different from the typical fair offered by the other ball rooms around town, a new dance craze was beginning to take shape there.

The floors were packed with people, with dancing going well into the early morning. Beginners and seasoned dancers were welcome, and there were plenty of dancers willing to teach anyone looking to learn. Supposedly the Liepard Lounge was an 18+ establishment, but the bouncer seemed relatively lax on that, so long as the minors agreed not to do anything they weren't supposed to.

"Not supposed to" was left open to interpretation. ]

[Sneaking up like the theme of the classic Sharpedo radio horror drama, Rin has been all over the place since this is dancing! Dancing so quickly is fun and Hanayo being a wallflower is not acceptable when she's around! So she does make her way back to Hanayo, only sneaking up from behind and hugging her from behind.]

Nya! Nerves, get away from my Ka~yo~chin~!

[She's helping or at least trying her best to help her girlfriend.]

Iyaaaaaaaaah!

[Hanayo's already feeling nervous and out of her element, so she lets out a loud squeal when Rin surprises her. She realizes who it is quickly enough, though, and lets out a long sigh as she tries to get her breathing under control.]

Rin... you surprised me.

I did? Sorry, sorry!

[Rin squeezes her a little more, placing her chin on Hanayo's shoulder as she watches the dance floor in front of them.]

It's kinda my fault I left you here nya. Hugs help ease nerves, right? Not to worry because Rin is here and she won't leave you alone again!

[Hugs do help ease nerves, and it isn't long before Hanayo settles into that hug, placing her hands gently atop Rin's as they squeeze her midsection.]

It's okay... I'm just not sure how to get started. This dancing is so fast.

Very fast-nya! Idols sometimes dance fast, right? We don't have to dance this fast, but it will be good to know... I think!

[She hums along with the music, her feet sometimes tapping along to the beat.]

We can just take it slow and then pick it up when you feel comfortable... Or we could slow dance for the night!

You're right. This is something I'll need to learn how to do.

[Hanayo isn't moving quite as much as Rin, but she does try to tap along with it a little.]

Do you think you could show me the steps you've learned so far? Maybe we can go slow at first and then speed up as we go...

That goes without saying, Kayochin~ya! Of course I will show you! That's the spirit!

[She jumps before pulling herself away to move in front of Hanayo, taking her hands while her expression is clearly excited and beaming.]

First things first! No nerves and formalities on the dance floor! It's okay to let your body loose, punch and kick the air as much as you want with this dancing!

[A nod, her feet are really moving in place with the beat.]

Just relax and let me know when you are ready. I'm here after all!

[Hanayo grabs onto Rin's hands, squeezing them a bit for support. She can't help but smile back at her even with as nervous as she is. Rin's energy is contagious.]

Okay... so we start by swaying like this, right?

[She starts moving back and forth, though her posture is still a little rigid. Rin's going to have to help her loosen up.]

Mhm~

[Rin mimics the swaying, only more loose and relaxed compared to Hanayo's. Her feet making some simple steps to match with the swaying, it's a start.]

You are pretty stiff still, so just relax! Try not to think too hard on messing up or anything.

O-okay...

[She takes a deep breath, trying to force her muscles to relax a bit. It does seem to be working, as she steps along with Rin, trying to follow the dance.]

Is that better?

Much better, Kayochin!

[Progress is progress, even by little steps! Rin repeats the steps in a pattern so Hanayo can help remember them before picking up the pace.]

Don't worry, we won't get quick into jumping around and going fast like everyone else.

I wonder how to do that part...

[Hanayo's looking over at a couple doing that thing where both people lift up their arms while still holding hands and spin at the same time.]

Maybe like this-!

[And Rin swings both of their arms up, hands together.]

And then-!

[Hope you are ready to spin, cute girlfriend because Rin is giving a twirl.]

Wait, Rin, I'm not-!

[Not ready. But it's too late. Hanayo responds as best she can, and nearly crashes into the other girl, but somehow makes it all the way through the spin.]

W-whew...

Easy!

[It took a second, but Rin realized her mistake on how sudden her movements was.]

Whoops... You okay, Kayochin?

I-I'm fine! You just surprised me!

[She lets out a sigh as she leans with her hands on Rin's shoulders for support.]

Heheh... Sorry, sorry.

[Rin tips her toes up to give a small kiss on Hanayo's forehead.]

Rin just enjoys dancing a lot nya~! Especially with Kayochin so I get excited too easily.

[Hanayo blushes at the kiss, planting one on top of Rin's head when she's done.]

You're so much better at it than I am... probably because you're used to moving around so much.
