“What was Al thinking, signing me up for a class…” These were Bette’s thoughts as she left the CAC to make her way to her first ballet class in over a year. Despite her annoyance with Alice she couln’t deny the excitement that was mounting within her. She had loved dancing but her job at the CAC was too demanding and she just could not fit it in. That is until Alice found out about this new teacher who had agreed to teach evening classes…. “what was her name again?”…. and had secretly signed her up for it! Meanwhile across town there was someone else who was excited about the class but was also apprehensive. Tina Kennard had just moved to L.A from Zimbabwe of all places. A recent graduate of the Royal Academy of Dance in London, she had decided to move after just six months back home. She was here to teach her first class since she moved and to top it all off it was an adult ballet class, she was scared beyond belief! “Well, no time for nerves” she mused “here they come” _____________________________________________ The rest of the gang were at the Planet listening intently as Alice filled them in on her surprise…. “You did what?” Dana asked, thinking she hadn’t understood correctly “I signed her up for a dance class with a new teacher in town…. Why Dane, is there something wrong with that?” Alice asked with a cheeky grin spreading across her face “What were you thinking Al, you know Bette Porter better than anyone so you should know she hates surprises!!!” “Relax Dane, it’ll turn out ok” this was Shane’s only contribution to the conversation and it was only to reassure Dana, but she secretly admitted to herself that all ***** might break loose and that she was gonna be there to see it happen!
