Octavia p.o.v

Day 2

 It's 8am  walking into studio A I see my partners Alex an chase I start laughing like a mad man "Octavia you obviously know these two from your senior classes it's called lost love there's a lot of tricks in this and this will also be in the senior category. lets start " Abby instructs 

"Octavia start with Chase lean into him and hold her by the waist lift her as high as you can place her down gently then do it on the other side but on your shoulder, Alex walk around then  pirouette split jump land, no once she's down on the ground Alex grab her left leg drag her Octavia now roll over so your back is arched make sure you point those feet." Abby says "  Octavia lean forward Chase pull her back then pass her over Alex grab her waist and lift so she bends backwards. Perfect" Abby says 

"Octavia pirouette then into an illusion, Alex get on your hand and knees Chase move closer to him we are going to recreate the dirty dancing lift so run push off Alex back and chase catch good now Alex you are going to swan jump at the same time Chase throws Octavia in the air. 3 2 1 now arch you back Octavia. That was really pretty throw her back up fall on your knees Octavia, now finish walk off with Alex. beautiful no lets go from the beginning. Point your toes, straighten those legs and arms." Once we finish we hear Abby clapping and wiping her tears "That was perfect guys truly perfect  preform like that you'll not only me but everyone else in tears. now go chill and do whatever." Abby says  

Aphrodite p.o.v

I'm watching my daughter dance enjoying the moment until I hear Joanne's voice talking as she comes up the stairs with the others "Morning  Aphrodite how are you?" " morning ladies I'm good as they can be." forcing a smile "Who are the boys dancing with Octavia?" Ann asks "That's Chase and Alex their from her senior classes very lovely boys." I say 

" how long have you been here for?" Erin asks "Well its 9 so an hour." "What about her solo?" Ashley asks  "she learnt it yesterday." Jesus what am I in the chase. "you know what i love is that we all say that Brady's the favourite when it's Octavia." Joanne  says "don't start its too early for this." Tricia says "What she's right  getting the solos never once have i ever heard Abby raise her voice at her she says that were all on a level plying field but Octavia is ahead of everyone." Michelle starts 

" I know that the moms constantly talks about you I should be used to it but doesn't mean it doesn't hurt as much." I say smiling sadly 

Octavia p.o.v

I'm really enjoying the group dance it's unique like always  there's spacing issues of course firstly Lily nearly kicks Presley in the face and realising that brady struggles on doing a right side Ariel I used to struggle with that as well. so miss Abby wanted to change him doing it left which I think is great, everything is going great until I see Tricia come down "Abby sorry to interrupt but I'm sick of those moms minus Stacey and Octavia talking about how our kids are treated differently."

 "Ok thank you, JUST BECAUSE YOUR MOTHERS CANT KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT YOU TOO SO YOUR GOING TO DO 50 PUSH UPS NOW!" Abby yells Now we're getting punished because of them great job I stop because I'm the first to finish. "your all done lily and Hannah stay we're doing your duet, Octavia sweetie you've got the senior dance group go ." "thanks miss Abby see you later." 

"I know that  treating  Octavia and brady differently to the others i just cant help it there the stars on the team I want them to be where everyone's eyes are. the moms shouldn't be worrying about brady and Octavia they should be worried about their own kid." Abby says 

   "Hey sorry things went a bit longer than expected." I say "I know we heard Alright where did we end with?"." Jake says "Alright where did we end with?" "Chase and Octavia's part." Jess said " lets start from there show me forward roll point the feet fall a bit chase flip her and do a backwards dirty dancing lifts spin her around, make two lines with the lights stand by them everyone go down like a cannon Tyson do a fouette go fast  and now every one together girls face the back boys face the front and hold the lights reach for sky, go for a line of 4 middle and back go all together now bend over Alex and Octavia , Alex bend over for her to get on your shoulders split point those toes and straighten now stand up arch your back, twist her so she lands to the front. while they are doing it everyone move the lights and turn them off when she lands Octavia run over to the last light  now look at back at everyone and turn it off." Jake instructs " okay now from the top pointe feet  those legs, big sharp movements, breath, flow through the dance. beautiful perfect lets go again."
