Author's Note: this chapter is a little confusing in its format given the overlap between Friday night's events and Monday afternoon's. To help, paragraphs in italics take place in the former, and paragraphs in normal text takes place in the latter.

Friday night Will took Emma out to dinner, afterwards driving them to Adrianne's house. Although it looked modest from the outside, Emma warned him that her performing background and money from her divorce left the inside looking a little overdone. Still, even with advanced warning, he was amazed when Adrianne opened the door and led them into a room with a mini stage, complete with curtains and lighting, set up over half the room.

"Okay," Adrianne said, turning to face the kids Monday. "The most important thing to remember in Latin choreography is not the technical work. To be perfectly honest, nobody cares how perfectly executed your steps are. Rhythm dancing is about conveying passion—pure sensuality—with your body. Peg that, and you've got it nailed.

She saw Will smile, but poor Emma looked scared for her life. Sex appeal was not exactly something her best friend oozed, but Adrianne was going to get it done.

Monday afternoon, it was poor Rachel's face she saw, a mixture of a mask of confidence with deer -in-the-headlight eyes. Surrounded by Cheerios, Adrianne could understand her hesitance.

"So," she continued calmly, raising her hands. "Girls, left hand up, right locked; guys, right hand on her hip, left hand locked. Basic steps are quick-quick-slow, girls rocking back on their right and guys stepping forward on the left." Adrianne demonstrated some repetitions. "As we work forward, we'll start adding to it."

"Lady Anne," she called out, and was pleased to see a grin appear on Santana's face. That she had taken to her character so well was for Adrianne a small confirmation of her ability to do the job. She took Santana's hand and smiled, "Shall we show them how it's done?"

Adrianne turned on the stereo, "Ladies up in here tonight" she called out. She started a basic combination. "No fighting."

She then began to maneuver the steps in a circle around Santana, still chanting, "No fighting. No fighting. No fighting—Shakira, Shakira."

Will joined the steps, taking Adrianne's hands and they dived in.

"I never really knew that she could dance like this," Will sang, "She makes a man want to speak Spanish"

As Santana and Adrianne stepped closer together and continued the steps. Matt and Mike sang out together, standing up, "Como se llama"

The entire class chimed, "Si!"

Matt and Mike began walking up to the front, "Bonita"

"Si!"

Will and Adrianne finished their step with a flourish, then established themselves on either side of Emma, "Mi casa, su casa" Will sang, while Adrianne called out "Shakira, Shakira!"

Santana continued the combo alone, flanked by Matt and Mike, with Tina, Brittany, and Quinn behind her. Adrianne, meanwhile, took Jesse by the hand, and they all began the combo, progressing into rocks and reversals.

"Oh baby when you talk like that," Santana belted, "You make a woman go mad." She sashayed close to Matt, only to release his hand as he twirled her and finish in Mike's arms. "So be wise, and keep on reading the signs of my body," She called out.

It was Kurt who stepped up next, shimmying next to Mercedes as they started with the basics and threw in some of their twists and turns.

"And I'm on tonight, you know my hips don't lie, and I'm starting to feel it's right." He crooned, grinning at Mercedes.

Mercedes, slowed down her curves, drawing out the rotation. "All the attraction" she sang, "the tension—don't you see baby, this is perfection?"

Emma was so awkward, it took most of Adrianne's energy to not laugh and focus on her steps. She and Will had surrounded her, a la the dance lesson montage in Dirty Dancing, and she seemed to finally be relaxing into the basic steps. Building in enthusiasm, Adrianne stepped away and onto the stage.

She grabbed Rachel's hand (the only body still in its seat) and led her out on the floor. Meanwhile, Santana began weaving around Finn and Puck as Kurt, Matt, Mike, and Jesse fluidly stepped with Brittany, Tina, Mercedes, and Quinn. Adrianne took the male lead, guiding Rachel out of her rigid posture (no doubt learnt from years of ballet) and into a more relaxed feel as the guys started singing:

"Hey girl; I can see your body moving

And it's driving me crazy

And I didn't have the slightest idea

Until I saw you dancing"

Adrianne was up on her little stage, whirling and twirling and throwing in combos from every Latin type she knew. She felt the fervor of the dance pulsing through her, the joy of expression, and let herself forget all that she had lost in the past three years.

Artie had now wheeled himself to center stage, and he and Tina somehow still made the steps work perfectly, with Jesse and Rachel, Santana and Mike, and Quinn and Puck dancing back-up.

Artie sang, "And when you walk up on the dance floor

Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body girl" As all of the girls were turned out, then back in.

"And everything so unexpected—the way you right and left it

So you can keep on shaking it?"

Santana walked back to the foreground, dancing solo, using the basic to work the rhythm in her hips.

"Oh baby when you talk like that

You make a woman go mad

So be wise, and keep on

Reading the signs of my body"

Adrianne popped back down to the floor and cut through Will and Emma, stealing her best friend from her guy. She started progressing Emma into left and right rocks, alternatively whirling in and out.

Santana continued, "And I'm on tonight

You know my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel you boy

Come on let's go, real slow

Don't you see baby asi es perfecto"

It was at this point Brittany and Quinn flanked Santana, harmonizing as they shimmied together.

"Oh I know I'm on tonight my hips don't lie

And I'm starting to feel it's right

All the attraction, the tension

Don't you see baby this is perfection?"

When Rachel found her voice in the song, both Jesse and Adrianne were surprised. She had been slowly building confidence in the dance, which was likely due to Jesse holding her like they were magnetized.

Rachel's eyes met Jesse's full in the face, her expression lit up in excitement, as she twirled out and began:

"Oh boy, I can see your body moving

Half animal, half man

I don't, don't really know what I'm doing

But you seem to have a plan"

Jesse's eyes lit up, a grin on his face, as he began to harmonize with her.

"My will and self restraint

Have come to fail now, fail now"

And Rachel let go of his hand and did a half-Latin, half-ballet quick step before falling back into the combo.

"See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know

That's a bit too hard to explain"

Will was watching Adrianne and Emma together, adding small flourishes to the combo faced off with them, watching his Emma's face flush with happiness.

"I never really knew that she could dance like this" he sang. "She makes a man want to speak Spanish."

Mike took Santana's hand and turned her back towards him, with Puck and Finn following his example with Quinn and Brittany. The rest of the team lined up in a third row working the combo.

"Como se llama" they sang as they leaned into the girls.

"Si!" yelled the Glee team, the girls leaning back into the guys.

"Bonita," Will crooned, taking Emma back from Adrianne.

"Si!" the team shouted again.

"Me casa, su casa" the boys finished, with Artie calling out, "Shakira, Shakira"

The riff finished up, with Adrianne again chanting, "No fighting; no fighting"

As the song finished, Adrianne felt a rush of exhilaration that was only matched by the spike of joy she got out of watching Will and Emma laughing, and when she watched the Glee kids clap in approval of their work.

"Ladies and gentlemen," she said cheerfully, her hand gesturing to the room. "Congratulations on passing Latin 101."

Will, stepping beside her, added, "And, as your assignment this week, I want to keep this up. Your job is to find a song and build your own combo to go with it. If you need help with the steps, you can ask me or our new co-choreographer." He gestured to Adrianne, and the whole class broke into applause. Adrianne just stood there, her face a mixture of shock and pure euphoria.
