Five Dances Page #2

Katie, if you just come over to

this side and face her.

Gentlemen, you may want to

learn this too.

- Which rows?

- Both of them.

Maybe a hair for the back.

So you're going to step

forward on your left

and move your head around and

launch, wrap in and tuck in and go.

Good.

You're here.

And... it opens,

- Sorry.

You come around, and you can

there's something about you being there,

like also pre-empting his step.

- Let me try one more time.

Yeah, that works better, thanks.

- I'm sorry.

- That's ok.

That was hard, huh?

You wanna stay later and

work on it together?

You wanna try that again?

From here?

What are you doing?

Come on, you like it.

No, I don't.

- You like me though, right?

- No!

I don't know.

- Just let me kiss you.

- Stop it!

I really wanna to kiss you.

Why are you doing this?

Sorry.

I was just fooling around.

Can we get back to work?

I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Chip!

THREE:

And... lets go back to the counterbalance.

Madam...

And breakaway...

That's all there,

and then this arm...

is going to take my weight.

- Katie?

- Yes.

You turned out, your arms are

trailing back through your back space

Your arms are going up as well,

even the head.

So ideally, these two shapes

happen at the same time.

Come up, and get the

support from Cynthia.

So ideally, this hand is together

this hand together

and then THIS hand is together

Cynthia, let me try with you.

And... we're in.

Up... over...

- I'm sorry. You alright?

- Anthony?

Yeh, I'm fine.

My achilles, a bit scary.

Chip, let's have a try with Katie.

Er, what about me?

- What about you?

Anthony, I think Cynthia and I

can make this work.

Yeh, maybe you can work

on it with me later.

- Ok.

- Thank you.

Back to being.

I'm gonna call right now and

make a reservation on the bus.

- No you can't come here.

What else can I do?

I'm all alone.

- I'll come home.

Do you promise me?

Because if you don't...

Yes, I'll call Greyhound.

- You call right now!

I mean it!

- Fine.

Whatever you're doing there in

New York, you stop and come home!

I know what you're doing,

and I don't like it Chip.

Your Dad wouldn't like what

you're doing, either.

Now call Greyhound.

- OK, bye.

- Chip!

Hey.

They're really good.

They're vegan.

They are not.

Thanks. They're good.

Oh, my God!

Would you get dressed?

Thanks, it's cold.

Mmm, a glass of red wine

would be so perfect now.

I don't drink anymore.

Right. I'm sorry.

I forgot.

When I came in to

audition for you,

I never thought...

I'm not a teacher anymore.

And you're not my student.

That was one night a long time ago.

It's only six years.

I have a husband now.

I hired you

because you're a really...

talented dancer.

This shouldn't have happened. Ok?

Hello? Oh, hey mom!

No, Cynthia just got home

from rehearsal.

We're about to do something

for dinner.

Thanks, for calling Greyhound.

for buses to Louisiana press 1.

Kentucky press 2.

Kansas press 3.

For buses going to Wichita press 1.

Topeka press 2.

- Sorry, ok?

- Cynthia!

Where's the focus?

I'm sleeping with Anthony.

Slept with, once.

- Twice! In total.

Huh, God... I'm being such a jerk.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Yes?!

FOUR:

And there was this turn...

I don't know what this turn is.

It's like...

- Like that.

I think...

more...

Let me see!

- Better!

- Feels the same to me.

Theo?

I think...

I think if Chip ends up more like this,

he can step more easily into this.

- Into the role.

- Like this.

- Chip, can I see that?

- Sure.

Good, good! Right, let's go on,

we'll go back.

So and up, and out, and down...

Thanks!

- Goodnight everybody!

- See you in the morning.

- Goodnight.

- Again.

Sorry.

Don't worry about it so much.

This is Chip's solo.

Katie, are you coming?

- Goodnight, guys.

- Goodnight.

Hey! I can help you with it,

if you want.

That's ok, I'm not going to get

to dance it anyway.

That was fun.

I have to pee.

Theo?

I've never done this before.

- I'm all sweaty.

- I don't care...

Was it ok?

Was what ok?

Don't be a jerk.

What do you think?

You first.

It was great.

You have an accent.

You just noticed?

No, I mean, England, right?

Australia.

- So you're Australian?

- And you're a vegetarian.

We should go.

It's late.

You go ahead.

You sure?

Yeh.

Ok.

See you tomorrow?

Yeh, tomorrow.

Five

Chip, stop worrying about

what you look like

and start thinking about what

you're doing with your partner.

This section is not just the prequel to your solo,

it's a section in itself and it would be

nice if you gave it a bit of attention.

Alright?

Can we take it again?

Chip!

Relax your neck!

That was better.

I wish you like coffee.

I wish I did too.

I think maybe I'm gonna

be dating Theo.

I like Theo!

Is that ok?

- You don't need my approval.

Can I still stay here?

Why don't we just wait

and see what happens?

Okay?

Thanks for staying.

Sure!

What did you want to

talk to me about?

I'm sorry for being a jerk the

other night, for leaving...

It wasn't your fault.

I was an idiot.

No you weren't!

I just got so scared.

Of what?

That you wouldn't

want to be with me.

I think about you all the time.

So do you really have plans?

It's my roommate's birthday.

I'm meeting her for dinner.

Do you want to come?

No.

Are you sure?

U-huh, I'm fine.

I'm just so happy right now.

Me too.

I'll see you tomorrow, ok?

...on the Arabesque step...

.. this could be changing too...

Oh, we should do it!

We should do 'Showgirls'

Oh my god, we should do 'Showgirls'!

We can do it just as we want...

How high can you go?

We should pu up, like, a circus tent

and put like a bell here...

Anthony, we've made

some changes.

Theo! Wait up!

What are you doing after rehearsal?

Why?

- I've planned something.

Yeh, ok.

- Where did you get those?

- I bought them.

You're not old enough to buy wine.

Katie bought it for me.

You asked her to?

I paid for it, though.

Let me.

- cheers.

- cheers.

I called my mom last night.

And I told her about you.

What did you tell her?

What do you think?

I don't know.

I told her that you're my boyfriend.

I am?

Cool.

You've had two boyfriends?

Two serious ones.

That's a lot.

They weren't at the same time.

What happened to them?

Well, they both have

new boyfriends now.

Are you jealous?

No. I just don't understand.

That's for my father.

He's been sick for a while.

What's wrong with him?

I don't know exactly.

He had to go live with his

parents in Indiana,

so they could take care of him.

You guys must be close.

I hardly ever saw him.

Do you call him?

He doesn't like to talk

on the phone.

And your mother?

She's at home.

- With who?

Nobody.

She's all alone.

I'm going to see my mom

next week.

Would you come with me?

- Of course.

Good.

I am a better turner than you are.

- No you're not!

One.

You're up!

Good!

Whoa! Nice!

Sh*t!

You gotta keep turning.
