Rose walked in on the phone. She seemed to be in a very heated conversation. She threw her dance bag on the ground and sat down with an annoyed sigh. Her mother was at it again. Telling her that she needed to try harder in school rather than dancing.

Lakari walked in after Rosie and blinked at the aggressive behavior. She paused and looked at her for a moment before setting down her own bag to stretch and prepare for practice. She had an idea but wasn't going to pry in on Rosalie's private life.

Rosalie finally after a few minutes got off of the phone and tossed her phone in her bag. She sat next to Lakari and began stretching. Rose was used to her mother's behavior but that didn't mean that it hurt any less. "Sorry about that." She muttered.

"You're fine, I've heard worse." She smiled encouragingly, stretching her hamstrings and calves. She leaned forward in a v-sit, testing her flexibility and muscles. She stayed quite fit because of her list of sports and activities she did daily. Which was very useful to her in different ways, outside of the sports and school in general.

Rosalie tied her hair up and continued stretching, "Do you know what type of dance we're doing today?" She asked. Rosalie was pretty good at everything but she lacked ballet. She could barley keep up half of the time. ((I am so sorry! I've been studying for midterms and I just started track. I've been so busy but I promise I'll try to make more time for this))

Lakari shook her head. "No, unfortunately I don't. I thought it was hip hop but the next competition is ballet though." She explained, glancing up at Rosalie with a shrug. She was well rounded but excelled in tango and ballroom dancing.
((You're fine! I get it.))

"Really!? Shit." She said, sighing. "I suck at ballet." Rose told her

Lakari hummed. "I could help you if you like?" She suggested, raising a brow in question.

“Could you?” She asked. Did they even have time for that? Rosalie groaned and fell backwards on the ground onto one of the mats there. “I suck.” She stated

"You do not. You're talented. You just need more practice in that part of dance." She stood and walked over to Rosalie. She held out her hand to her and smiled warmly. "Here, let's do the stretches on the beam." She suggested. "Then we'll put on the ballet shoes."

Rosalie sighed and let Lakari pull her up from the ground. She smiled, a small smile, and followed her over to the beam. "You go first." She offered

She smiled more and put a hand on the beam, tilting her head up slightly. She took a breath before releasing it and stretching her leg out to the side and bending down into a bow-type motion, repeating it on alternate legs for 10 seconds each. She then took another breath and started doing slow side kicks, 5 per leg.

Rosalie sat back down on the ground and continued stretching as she waited for Lakari to finish up, so she could go next. Rosalie had her doubts on the whole ballet thing but maybe if she practiced enough with Lakari she could reach her level. She was really good at ballet.

Lakari turned and put both hands on the bar, lifting her legs between her arm and stretching it out towards the full length mirror in front of it. She slid forward, resting her thigh on the bar, counting quietly for 20 seconds before switching legs again. She took a breath and did a final stretch, kicking her leg backwards and resting it on the bream for 10 seconds before switching once again. She stood back up to her dull height and smiled down at Rosaile. "Your turn." She sat down next to her and sighed, doing smaller leg stretches.
