The Art of Dance
A/n: This was made out of boredness and I can't find any good fan fics on Ginny being a dancer.
Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter characters at all unfortunately or any of the songs used in this story.
Ginny skipped her 5th year in Hogwarts and became friends with Elizabeth Tisdale, Chris Mullins, and Liz Erwin (who was still a grade ahead of her) and they became her closest companions. They are the ones who kept Ginny going after her dancing dreams. She had been close to quitting so many times, but they kept her going. So here she was owning her own studio after years of turmoil because her friends believed in her.
She entered her dance studio at eight in the morning. She entered her office to check her messages. 'Nothing much' she thought.
She then exited her office and turned on her huge studio with 'Shackles' by MaryMary on. She went to the barré and started stretching her legs. After she was finished with the barré she went to the middle of the dance floor and went into a Chinese split and stretched her arms to each leg and went all the way to the floor in the middle.
Soon she was done with her warm up and started her slow lyrical to a remixed version of 'I Can Only Imagine' by MercyMe she had choreographed when she was 15 years old for the Hogwarts Talent Show (I really did that whole choreography to 'I Can Only Imagine'). She wanted to remember it for her grandmother who it was originally choreographed for.
After that she did a fast paced jazz to 'Irene' by tobyMAC. She loved to dance and it was her life. Since she was 13 years old she danced in the hall ways of Hogwarts, in super markets, and in her house whenever she could. When she was 14 she decided that she wanted to own her own dance studio, choreograph solo and ensembles, and help out at public schools with drill team camps.
Her Studio was one of the most successful in the Wizarding and Muggle world. Her family never thought she could pull it off. They always thought she was an amazing dancer, but they thought she could do something better with her life instead of dancing though. She loved the art of dance and had so much patience to teach it so she ignored her family's idea of working at the Ministry.
Her first class was beginning to enter the studio with their parents. Her first class of the day was 3 and 4 year olds doing ballet. That was the most common style of dance other than tap that 3 and 4 year olds would take.
After all the little ballerinas arrived at the studio in their little pink leotards and skirts they began their stretch. They began at the barré with plié's and went to releve's. Then they started stretching their legs for arabesques.
After she was done with her hour ballet class she had a 30 minute break to get some water and to practice on her solo for a competition she was entering in a month. It was a modern dance mixed with a quick jazz that lasted about two and a half minutes. It was one of the longest dances that she had ever choreographed for her own use. Sure she did three and four minutes routine choreography, but that was for dance teams or for solo and ensembles.
During her practice a person from her past that she thought would never see again returned. It was Draco Malfoy with what looked to be a seven year old little girl. She had just started her routine and was too focused on her choreography that she didn't notice them.
She had just begun her jazz which began with a c-jump. She then chasséd and did a double leap and so many different hand movements that the two couldn't see exactly what she did, but was sharp and perfect for the judges entertainment. She ended her dance with a triple fouette and a roll on the floor.
After she was through she heard clapping from the other side of the room with a wide eyed little girl with hope in her eyes and an impressed Malfoy. Malfoy then said "Can we talk in your office about my daughter getting started at your dance studio?"
A wide-eyed Ginny nodded and grabbed her water bottle. She had them follow her down the hallway to her office. After they entered her office she asked them to sit down in the chairs and they began.
"What style do you like and would want to take?" she asked the little girl. Then the girl said "I like jazz and lyrical." Ginny then asked the girl what her name was and the girl replied saying "Micah Flint." Ginny nodded at the name and asked "How do you know about lyrical… not many girls your age have heard of that style of dance?" She replied with "My mother, Lavender Flint, was a dancer and she loved lyrical."
Ginny was in awe she had been off the whole who is with who since she left Hogwarts, but she never saw Lavender and Marcus Flint. She then asked the girl if she had any experience with lyrical. The girl replied and said "I do. My mother made sure I did." Ginny then asked Micah if she would show her some of her dance style. Micah agreed so the three went back to the dance room and Ginny put on some slow, but not too slow music for the little girl.
Ginny had put in 'Walk by Faith' by Jeremy Camp. The girl went into her beginning position for the dance that she was making up as she went along. She was a beautiful dancer. She was very talented just like her mother and she was even more graceful that her mother. Ginny was very impressed by her dancing skills. Some of the steps she was using her 15 and 16 year old haven't mastered yet and they had been with her since the beginning of the studio.
After Micah was through Ginny started clapping and turned to Draco and said "Are you willing to let her take private lessons?"
A/n: I know it's not very exciting, but just tell me what I need to add and Ill see what I can do. Don't worry most of the other chapters will be longer so please don't tell me that information. PLEASE REVIEW!
