Dil Se Dance

Practise and Problems

Author's note: I knew sooner or later it'd come to this! So better sooner than never! I had to push myself into talking to you directly, desperately try to get some comments or valued thoughts about how you felt reading until this part of the story, just like how my protagonist is in his act. 

Hope you are enjoying it! Swayam here, is depicted with carrying lot many secrets, some of them dark! Honestly I never liked how they introduced Swayam as a weak idiot but then were confused in between and then turned him into a strong character without any logic! Here I've tried to give a little base to his character so that he never goes off-character like in the serial. No offense to SwaRon fans but things are anticipated to end differently than original!

Please forgive about any spelling and grammar mistakes. I too am getting excited to write the next part that I don't go into reviewing the previous. Thank you for all your comments by the way.

Too-doo!

Early morning... Rehearsal hall...

"So guys, jaise tumne pehle suna, humaare paas sirf dus di hein humaare performance tayyaar karne! It is going to be a tough fight against Dazzlers. So I want you all to trust me aur aise kuch bhi nahi hoga jo hum nahi kar sakenge..."

"Kria, you are sure na girl ki tum yeh fight choreograph kar paogi?"

"Visakha what I meant by fight was..." Kria tried to explain but Swayam interrupted.

"Kria, yeh St. Louis hein! Yahaan saalon se dancing area ko nurturing mili hein ki yahaan ka selection procedure bhi dance battle hota hein."

"Haan bantaaye, wahaan stage pe dance nahi balki dhoti-faad hone waali hein!" Bharat cried out.

"Exatly! Aul Dazzlels do alledy thampions leh thuke hein! Woh usthi advantaide legi!" Amar pointed out.

"Haan Amar bilkul theek keh reha hein guys! Humein unse better perform karni hein! And I think for us, Swayam is the best option to cho..." Visakha began to

"We trust in you Kria! You surely can pull it off!" But Swayam cut Visakha in between. And Kria blinked at him.

"Toh plan bataao!" Amar asked Kria and she took a breather while everyone turned their attention to her.

"The plan is simple. Meine ek routine already sochi thi, involving a prop! Par battle plans toh meine nahi ki thi! Kyunki meine socha it would come for a tie breaker or something!"

"Okay then, mein kya kehta hun ki hum abhi warm up karthe hein aur phir sab individually apna freestyle karke dikhaayenge thaaki sabko pata chale ki individually hum sabki positions kya hein. Okay?"

"I agree!" 

After some stretching and jumping, Swayam helped them put a dance song remix. Bharat began to show his stunts and other b-boy skills synced nicely with the beats while the others cheered. 

Then Visakha took the batton next and performed her cool hip-hop moves. Neha jumped next when Visakha posed off and did her iconic bollywood knee twirling and then continued with hip hop. 

Amar took the next chance when Swayam changed the song to a more electronic pop which was his cue to show of his popping and tutting. 

And then Kria performed her incredible moves mixed with jazz and then tuned with hip hop. Kria couldn't contain her smile as this was the first time she felt home and around people who could finally understand her. 

And then Swayam took his turn. Nothing could compare to the beauty his simple performance displayed and Kria and Neha were thoroughly impressed by his timing and flow. What made his performance desirable was his ability to blend in every styles. He mixed b-boy, bollywood and popping and then did a smooth jazz portion and finished with a finger-tutting sequence.

Bharat, Amar and Visakha patted his back and Kria forgot to stop clapping. "Tum kuch bhi kar sakthe ho yaar!"

Evening 5:00 pm... Rehearsal hall...

RDX had informed them in the class about the Qualifier and that both Dazzlers and Weaklings should take part compulsarily. And that the students will decide which team should represent St. Louis in the Footloose Elimination round. That meant only one team was going to qualify. That meant it was going to be a battle.

"Maine morning ki bajaaye evening ki schedule hamaare liye isliye book ki thi because it is the time none of us sleeps. Par abhi dekho tum sabko!" Sharon scolded Vicky. But it seemed as if directed to everyone.

"Mein sirf do minute hi toh late aaye..." Vi

"Shut up Vicky! Baat sirf do minute ki nahi hein! Baat hamaari sincerity ki hein jo apne dance pe focus karne daalni chaahiye!"

"Sharon babe, tum itni tension mat lo! Humaari routines set hein aur tiebreaker ke bhi hum practise kar chuke hein!"

"Really Simmi? Toh phir humaare routine ke middle portion, woh jump and twirl ke portion dikhaaon!"

"Uhh Sharon..."

"Kyun kya huyi! Ho nahi paa raha hein na? And that proves ki humaari ab tak ki practise kaafi nahi thi!"

"Mujhe yaad hein, mein karun kya?" Rinni asked innocently raising her hand.

"Nahi!" Simmi, Vicky and Nil shouted together.

"Aur yeh Rey kahaan hein? Paani peene ke liye baahar gaye aur ithna time laga rahe hein?!"

Meanwhile in the Medical room.

"Crap! Agar Sharon ko pata chala ki meine apna ankle twist kiya hein toh mujhe maar hi degi! Woh chaar bechaare mere naam keh bhi daant kha rahe honge!" Rey said to himself.

"Rey, tumhe agle ek hafte keliye complete rest karne honge! Agar apne ankle par dobaara pressure daaloge toh swelling aur pain badh sakthi hein, bone crack be ho saktha hein. So I suggest either you use crutches or maybe a wheelchair yaah fir take bed rest." The College Physiotherapist advised and then left the room. 

"Iska matlab mujhe team ko bataana hi padega! Woh sabki confidence down ho jaane ki chances hein! Wait, wait! RDX sir ne kaha tha ki students will decide the winners, toh agar mein aisa kuch karun ki dono teams ki dance merge ho toh? Students will declare both winners!"

Sunday... at Bharat's garage...

"Tuh har waqt yahi par kyun rehta hein be? Tera toh bada makaan hein na bhai?" Bharat asked his long haired lean friend, while working under a car.

"Mein bhi toh tujhse pooch saktha hun ki Sunday tuh yahaan rehne ki bajaaye baahar ghumne kyun nahi aate?" Swayam asked back.

"Dekh bhai tujhe pata hein kyun!" He replied.

"Haan, haan! Business chaalu rakhni hein, customers kabhi bhi aa saktha hein, aur apne boss ki good books mein rehna hein, right?" 

"Dekh bhai, agar tuh mujhe Sunday working karthe nahi dekh saktha toh meri khud ki garage kholne mein madad kar!"

"Nahi yaar! Abhi aur risk nahi le saktha! Agar Papa ko pata chal gaya..." 

"Achcha beta! Ek saal pehle toh yeh dar nahi tha?"

"Bharat! Tuh, Amar aur Visakha ne toh bahut paise kamaaye the naa? Par meri wahaan jaana band hone ke baad bhi wahaan jaakar tuh aur Amar apni paise luta diye the! Agar aisa nahi karthe toh tuh abhi khud ki garage mein kaam karwaatha logon se aur Amar ka khud ka cafe hota!"

"Bhai, samajh gaya hun ki apun ki galthi thi! Isliye toh Sharon ki gaadi tere wajah se free mein condition karke chodtha hun? Ab toh rehem kha le! Dekh, aaj raat Streets hein! Saat baje! Haan bolna bhai!"

"Theek hein! Aur Amar ko bhi saath laana!" Bharat cheered up as Swayam agreed. He texted back to Harry that SW was on.
