Tango
Robin got up that morning at three in the morning because her dance instructor suggested that she get up early since she had work at five. Robin did her morning routine (bathe and pull up her hair) as Robin pulled her hair up she thought of an odd way to do it. Robin grabbed her hair and pulled as if she was going to put it into a ponytail ,then twisted it four times, pushed it to the back of head ,and finally put a big clip on it. Then she went to her closet and found the dress she wanted to wear it was a black dress that want to her knees and had sleeves. The dress is what Doujima had bought her for Christmas then she put on the high heals that Karasuma had bought her for Christmas (sorry but I was behind on the time so I'm just getting it up to date). Before Robin left she grabbed a cup of coffee so she wouldn't be tired when she got to dance class.
When Robin got there she was greeted by her teacher.
"Hello my name is Mrs. Akina you must be Robin. It's a pleasure to meet you " she said to Robin
"Likewise" Robin said.
"Before you learn to street dance you will learn to tango. It will help you learn how to street dance at a quicker pace." Mrs. Akina said
She lead Robin into a back room where three other people were waiting. They all greeted her.
"Now then students it's time to chose your partners for the whole class." Mrs. Akina said.
A very attractive male came up to her and asked to be her partner. Robin blushed and said yes. He said his name was Dai. After every had picked their partners Mrs. Akina started to speak again.
"I will give you instruction and I want you to do them the way I say them and when I say them." She explained..
" Now I'm going to start" she said "Walking is basic to most tango step patterns. This makes it easy to get started dancing right away, though there is surprising complexity behind this apparently simple activity. You will learn more about that in each lesson. For now, I'll start the music, close your eyes, and listen for each major beat. Then begin stepping in place to each major beat. When you feel natural moving to this rhythm, open your eyes and walk around the room, trying to step exactly on those major beats. Don't worry about anything else; just practice this SLOW SLOW rhythm for a few minutes. This rhythm is central to tango, though as you become more expert you'll learn how to spice up your dancing by varying this basic rhythm.
Now walk some more. This time, walk counter-clockwise around the outside edge of the floor. This is called the Line of Dance; it helps dancers avoid running into each other. If other people make it impossible or dangerous to follow the LOD, you may briefly travel against it or even cross the empty center of the floor, then continue the LOD."
Robin and Dai were doing exactly what the teacher said and when she said it they were the perfect partners.
" Okay that was lesson one I will now teach you lesson two and they you all can go to your jobs" Mrs. Akina said. "Argentine tango uses some of the same step patterns as other walking dances, including freestyle foxtrot, paso doble, quick step - and the Texas Two Step! But you can instantly tell these dances apart because of the way the dancers move and relate to their partners.
Practice walking around the room without music, stepping forward onto the balls of your feet, not onto your heels as you do in ordinary walking and in many dances. This should help you to feel like a great jungle cat. Keep this cat image in mind when you're working on aspects of tango style, and soon when you bring up this image your body will automatically move properly.
Now practice walking BACKWARD along the Line of Dance. Turn your head to the side to help you see where you're going. Women should look to the right, men to the left. Straighten your leg a little more than you ordinarily would and reach back a little further than might feel natural at first. This will help prevent bumping knees with your partner when you dance. It also adds to the cat-like look and feel of your walk.
Whether walking backward or forward, keep your weight over the balls of your feet. You can practice walking on tip-toes to more quickly strengthen the stabilizer muscles in your toes, feet, and ankles. It will also help you build the habit of dancing with your weight forward. But when you actually dance don't do it on tip-toes. This is too tiring. It may also get you out of the habit of using your heels, something needed in more advanced tango dancing."
After the class was over Robin and Dai exchanged numbers.
" If you ever want to practice or go to a club and dance there just call me" he said
On the way out of the dance studio Robin was stopped by a woman named Jena
"Your that girl who sings at Harry's right." Jena said
"Yes" Robin said
"My boyfriend broke up with me and I wanted to know if you could sing with me tonight at six to see if I can win him back" Jena said " I'll pay you anything just please help me"
"You don't have to pay me I'll do it for free." Robin said.
" Here are the lyrics to the song" Jena said handing a piece of paper to Robin.
At work there was nothing to do but sit around and wait on a lead on a witch she was bored so she decided to study the lyrics Jena gave her so she decided to try and sing them. Micheal was typing at his keyboard when he heard Robin's soft sweet voice singing. He turned around and decided to listen and this is what he heard.
Why
don't I like the girl I see?
The one that's standing right in
front of me
Why don't I think before I speak?
I should have
listened to that voice inside me
I must be stupid
Must be
crazy
Must be out of my mind
To say the kind of things I said
last night
Mirror ,Mirror hanging on the wall
You don't
have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all Mirror, Mirror I
wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby
back to me
"You're
really good" Micheal said
"Thanks are you coming to see me sing to night" Robin asked chearfully.
" I can't December is over and Zaizan says I can't go out anymore." Micheal said with a frown.
"Hold that thought" Robin said and rushed out of the office and into Zaizan's .
Zaizan asked Robin what was going on. Robin caught her breath and started explaining her idea.
" Ok Zaizan you no how micheal isn't aloud outside. Well if Sakaki agrees to it would you let Micheal live with him and allow him to live outside the office."
"Yes I would Robin but only if Sakaki agrees to it." Zaizan said .
Robin smiled and walked out of the office just then Sakaki walked in .
Robin ran in front of him and told him what her idea was. Sakaki paused for a moment then he agreed to it. Robin was so happy that now Micheal had a little bit of freedom . The day went by fast with no leads Micheal was happy and walked to Harry's with Robin.
Robin saw Jena prepping her band. Robin ran up to her and they took a breath and started singing.

Everyone applauded very loudly. Jena walked off stage and was kissed by the guy Robin thought was her boyfriend. Robin slept with great ease knowing she fixed two peoples lives.
P.S. Hope you liked the chapter.
