Danse D'Amour Dance Studio, afternoon, Dem, Deacon and Charlie
The studio had opened on Monday and since then had, from what they could tell, been quite busy. They had left Demitri to it, wanting to help but not sure how, but now they had decided to go round and see how things were going.

Up the stairs they went, listening to the music, and arrived just in time to see a group of ladies come out. They were the glossy, well made up type who get together to do interesting things in the afternoon, each one wearing designer casual sports gear and carrying fine leather sports bags in pastel shades.

They eyed Deacon as they passed, smiling and making long eyes at him and Charlie grinned.

Once they were gone and they had reached the reception area he laughed and said, "Are your ears red? Cuz I bet they are talking about you - or your ass might be feeling a bit flushed because they were checking it out."

	"Think so?" Deacon asked with a smirk then looked up at Demitri hailed them. "Hey, guys," he said. He wore a pair of black Latin dance pants and shoes and a soft white shirt which was mostly unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up. Deacon looked him over and smirked more. "No wonder the place is so busy." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Oh you DO look smart," Charlie said. "I like how you've arranged Andras's pictures. And it smells good too - not too sweaty." He grinned. "And we saw that you're getting in the ladies who lunch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah they come in for a bit of fun. Those were learning Salsa. But they were eyeing the pole." He grinned and waved them further in. "Want a drink? Mainly water but I've got a few sodas as well." "Water's fine," Deacon said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah for me too," Charlie said, who was already on his way to the pole. He kicked his shoes off, jumped up onto the stage and spun himself around the pole with a chuckle. "Wheee!" he said, turning upside down and hanging there. "Can do this, can't do salsa though. How'd you do that Demitri?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demitri, returning from the back room with bottles of water, began rolling his hips in a sort of figure eight and dancing across the floor. "Like this," he said. "S'not hard really. I could teach you." He grinned and handed Deacon his water then walked over to Charlie and tilted his head. "It'd be fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Charlie came down from the pole with rather less elegance than he had gone up it and hopped off the stage. "Oh wow," he said. "Do that again. D can you do that? Bet you can." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Demitri grinned, handed Charlie his water and put his own bottle on the edge of the stage and moved back a bit.

"It's like this. Here's the basic Salsa step," he said and held his arms out as if with a partner, left hand up and right arm curved around an imaginary person. "On the beat you step forward with your left foot, switch your weight back to the right foot, bring your left foot back to the middle and switch the weight back to it. Then back with your right foot, shift your weight to the left, bring your right foot back to the middle. And move your hips."

He'd demonstrated slowly as he spoke then picked up the pace a bit, hips swinging as he went.

Deacon, watched and then moved to stand beside him and tried to copy him. He screwed up once or twice but then started to get the steps down.

	Charlie could do the arms bit all right, but there was some confusion over left and right and were his weight should be. He looked, to be brutally honest, as though someone had dropped an eel down his shorts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Demitri chuckled.

"Come here," he said, taking Charlie's hand and pulling him close, left hand holding Charlie's right up, right hand resting on Charlie's back at the shoulder blade. "Now you put your hand on my shoulder, yes like that. Now - since I'm assuming Deacon will usually be leading," he smirked, "I want you to follow me. Just go where I lead you. I'll count the beat and we'll start with your right foot going back. Ready? And one..."

	"Not necessarily," Charlie was protesting but then Demitri said 'one' and he needed both brain cells to control his feet. "Oh - er - um - yeah," he said after a minute. "I think I've got it." Arms right, feet right. Hips hardly moving at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Demitri kept counting and watching. He nodded and eyed Charlie's hips.

"You move like you've a stick up your arse, Charlie," he said with a chuckle. "I've seen you work those hips. Right Deac?"

"Oh yeah," Deacon said and moved to stand behind Charlie. It took a minute for him to pick up the steps this way but he did and placed his hands on Charlie's hips at Demitri's suggestion to 'help'.

	The moment he felt Deacon's hands on him, Charlie's entire body language changed. Though he was still stiff and self concious, he flushed and chuckled leaning back a little and began to move with more fluidity. "Careful, you two," he warned. "This is getting terribly close to one of my more lurid fantasies." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demitri grinned and after a few mores steps, stopped them and gently turned Charlie so that he was on in Deacon's arms. "Arms like this," he said, positioning them correctly, "and look into each other's eyes. Now on my count... and... one...." Deacon, eyes locked on Charlie's and smiling softly, began to move.

	Charlie moved too, adapting his movements to follow Deacon's without any thought. However he did slide his hand down from Deacon's shoulder to move his hand down Charlie's back to the small of it. Held close, he relaxed and let himself be guided, colour rising in his cheeks. "Thanks, 'mitri," he breathed. "Oh - yes, I think I'm getting the hang of it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Demitri raised a brow at the change of hand placement but just smiled - a little wistfully perhaps. Seeing them like this made him miss Kevin fiercely. "Yes I believe you are," he said and moved to the stereo to turn on a bit of music - this one slower than the usual quick Salsa beat to give them a chance to adjust.

	That was better. With music to move to and Deacon to schmoop suggestively at, Charlie caught the beat and began to dance properly, hips and everything, remembering a little of the lack of inhibition he'd had to develop while doing the pole dancing. "Mmmm," he purred at Deacon, very close now. "I like dancing with you." (Reply to this) (Parent)
