Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kachina watched as the door opened and Riley stepped into the room, a pack in his hands. She could tell he was still nervous, hopefully she would be able to help him feel better during their lessons. She wasn't sure if it was the dancing himself that had him worried or something else. Maybe she would find out, she would just have to wait and see.

"Alright, you can place your bag in the back corner for the time being. Then get into your leotard, so that we can begin,"she smiled brightly. She hoped her positive energy would definitely rub off on the other.

Kachina dragged a bar out for them to use, while she waited for Riley to come back out from changing. When he came back out, she could see how nervous he still seemed to be. She motioned for him to come over to the bar so that they could begin. She would start him out with some stretching, since it was important when one was dancing.

"You are very welcome, I am happy to help. We are going to start with stretching,"she explained.

While Riley did some stretches, Kachina worked on some of her own. She put her left leg on the bar and stretched forward, making sure she got a good stretch. Then she did the same with her right leg, she liked being able to stay limber. When she was done, she turned to Riley as he said he was ready.

"Is there anything you have seen others do that you have wanted to try? I know when I first started out, I wanted to be able to spin like I had seen done,"she spoke.

"Agility is very important to have when dancing, you have to be to do all the spins and jumps we do. If you don't mind my asking, who is Thomas? You don't have to answer, if it is too personal. And I suppose leaping like you saw me do is very freeing. It is the closest thing to flying, even though I can do both. Sometimes just dancing and losing yourself in the music is freeing. Let's start with something simple. We will use the bar for some bends,"Kachina spoke. She took her right hand and placed it on the bar, before turning her toes to point outward and dipping down.

"He seems like a really great guy, you seem to really love him. Sounds like how I am with my trainer, her name is Deanna, Dea for short. Except to us, she is more like a mom. We love her very much and she has a tendency to adopt others she finds. She is currently in a wheelchair, thanks to an illness she has had since she was a baby. And her husband, a really nice guy, but haven't heard from him,"Kachina explained. She could just hope Kidd was alright and just got busy. She continued to go through some moves with Riley, showing him the basics.

Kachina hoped Kidd would return too, she knew how much Dea loved him. She put those depressing thoughts out of her mind as her lesson with Riley continued, causing her to smile too. He really seemed to be having a good time dancing and she was happy for him. It was nice to make a new friend and she hoped they would get to do more dancing.

"You are really good, I hope you consider doing more dancing. And alright, I think we got a good start for today. Probably should get home for dinner myself. When would you like your next lesson?"Kachina asked.

Kachina got into her street clothes as well, putting them over her training leotard. She was actually used to doing so, especially when she had gotten so caught up in dancing, she was almost late getting somewhere. She smiled when she heard what Riley said and she nodded her head.

"Yep, next week at this time sounds good. I will let you know if something comes up where we have to re-schedule. And I am glad you are enjoying yourself, it is nice being the teacher for once,"Kachina admitted with a soft laugh.

This time it was Kachina's turn to blush, she hadn't expected the compliment. She gave a bow of gratitude to him, she truly appreciated his words. Maybe she really would become a dance teacher after all, it was something to think of. Fluff and her seemed to be the dancers of the family, she had learned since coming home to her new family members.

"Thank you, you too. See ya next week,"Kachina responded finally. She watched him leave, before grabbing her gym bag and slinging it over her shoulder. Then she put everything away, before leaving and locking the door. Once that was done, she headed for home.
