Challenge 151: THE DANCE

Maybe it’s a school prom with awkward teenagers, or a college party with questionably loud music. Maybe it’s the start of the reception at a wedding, or an intimate moment at home with candles and soft music. Maybe it’s a sparring match or a fight between two martial artists, described poetically. Whatever the situation, it all adds up to the same thing: someone needs to dance. Dancing can be a powerful performance, a moment of intimacy, a metaphor for something else entirely, or an awkward situation, depending on how good the dancer is, and who they’re dancing with! How are your characters at dancing? Are they graceful and skilled? Is it just a bit of fun entertainment for them? Do they avoid it, out of a fear they won’t do well or because they know they won’t? Is there someone in particular they want to dance with? Write a story about a dance. BONUS GOAL: Sweet Tunes If your submission includes music, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
