As Rafe was about to turn left he twisted the base of his rib cage and snapped his hips around to increase the momentum of the spin, making the turn look more sharp and lively. He was starting to feel more comfortably, relaxed and began preceding his movement more into a lean. Rafe smiled. This definitely wasn't hip hop, but there was something very elegant about the movements he enjoyed. He then decided to take a risk and lift her arm and gave her a spin before moving back into the movement. He almost lost his footing, but quickly recovered. "I hope that was okay?" He grinned awkwardly.
I don't want to disappoint you...
Marilyn wasn't sure why...but this made her smile. That was considerate of him. She was sure Rafe knew about the dance background...It was just another society thing. With the amount of money parents had spent on yearly balls and galas...It was all just a fancy way of presenting children and the family to the world. She'd been forced to make so many people proud. It had been...exhausting...
Of course, now she was quite glad...It put her in a superior position to Rafe. That in itself made her VERY happy...
He began to gradually loosen up and was doing well...and the flourish lift and spin was a nice added touch...The need to tease him, however, was too good to pass up.
"In most professional ballroom settings, a lift would have deducted points...IF we were competing." She smirked, feeling his hand slippery with sweat. She imagined hers was much the same.
"Just don't get too rough..."
It was funny how this was becoming less...awkward...
Hmm.
Pulling him back to the original position, Marilyn smirked.
"Again?"
