"Feel better now..." He took her to a quick spin with him in the center again only holding her within his center of gravity while allowing her to make the rotation. "Feel better now..." The words a second time he went around her center; she was his pivot point and deftly he let her be the center of the dance for that movement of the music. 
Almost a pair of spinning tops, he moved with ease and made it easy for Michelle to spin and counter. He made the dance feel as light as the music seemed to be. She could feel the beat and her own steps were feeling effortless, almost as though she was able to bring some of her own soul into the dance. Normally by now her partner might have at least stepped on each other's feet or dropped her. Maybe the 'light' was shining down on the two of them, Michelle was at least endeavouring to 'live in the moment.'
 
"Here I go..." Was the three quick steps bringing Michelle his way for the quick, quick slow steps of a waltz type move with the tempo of the music guiding the steps. "Here I go... " signalled his turn to come towards her as she did the three steps of Quick, Quick, Slow with him pursuing her this time by the way he smiled with the tempo growing so did the expression upon his face as he kept her in his gaze and followed her flow of emotions.
 
Using that instant with a widening of his eyes slightly he slid his feet back in a reverse paring to the full extension from her rather than the girl going away.... "It's better now..." he then gave a slight tug to hint that it was for her to dance her way to him this time as the words 'Feel better...' was the reeling and the word 'now' was back into the embrace.
 
With a little grin he lead her into another set of the waltz type of Quick, quick, slow and then quick, quick, slow again. The way that he changed was the fact he was having a good time while he moved around a small series of half turns alternating who was the pivot point in a wide circle as there were no other dancers the two of them could enjoy each step as their feet did not touch or get tangled with the fancy footwork needed to perform as they were.
He had a grace and energy to his dancing; no real choreography had been agreed upon and yet he seemed to know just where to take the dance. By the half turns she was almost wanting to laugh. Michelle was having such a great time. Her whole body was getting into the dance, her hips swayed and she was just enjoying the movement. her smile and face beamed, the quick switching of pivot points almost felt like you could be ever so light, maybe even fly.
 
At "Do you remember when we fell under..."  After the 'twirl turns' he took he opportunity to throw in an unexpected move and rather than the woman being the one to go out to arm's length as most human dance numbers alluded to it was Softtouch that took the unfurling shuffle holding her left hand still in his own to stand at arms length with her and his left hand a theatrical straight marker from his body. Looking into her eyes with a sparkle as he felt her warmth; that which came from enjoyment and fun that lit his smile. Then a subtle touch/tug on her palm with his fingers bid her to come to him.
 
"Did you expect me to reason with thunder" It was with this that he waited and watched for that instant; the impulse she had picked up on to do a dancing style return to him; the flowing of her skirt as the feet carried her inwardly to him with the twirling motion that brought their hands back to clasp like fond friends again, the hand to the wrist and through the arm to her body she seemed to be lay out on top of him again in a beautiful sweeping flourish of motion hinting at the elegance of them both as she felt his hand at the small of her back again as though to hold her close to him; almost dearly in many ways, his hand was in proper placement but a warmth in the way he let his touch permeate through the layers of clothing to her back softly.

This dancer was creative, reversing the arm's length spin and turn; she could not help but smile, it truly lit her up to be able to dance like this. A feeling of safety and still daring, playing with the music to produce a unique dance to create joy. The subtle touch to the palm was an old dancer's signal to bring the pairing back together if either got too 'into the moment' to remember the next step. Michelle did a four beat step in before a flourish spin, letting the skirt truly flare out before taking up position again. She showed off some control and fun in spinning through and coming back into the couple position with him. Feeling comfortable once more, his touch letting her know just how close to her skin the fabric could truly be.
 
"I still remember..." With her close to him he again put his eyes to hers with his gentle smile as he used the moment to just take a slow dance style rotation; letting the eye contact remain while they moved with the precision of two figures upon a music box. "When time was frozen."
 
He seemed to be able to interpret the music and lyrics so well, slowing things down around the lines of time being frozen. It seemed easy to gaze into his eyes and kind of get lost in them. Most others she had danced with all you could see was the effort it took, he seemed different in that regard. She moved with the lead and didn't miss a step, almost feeling a little spoilt.
He leant closer to her or was he asking her to be closer when the song continued in their embrace to the music and the words, was his head leaning so much closer to her and his head angling and nearly leaving a chance towards those two lips pressing to hers and give more emotional content to the dance yet not, yet in that intimate a range but closing the distance slowly?
 
"What seemed forever was just a moment." Echoed in the room all around them it seemed; coming from all directions as they were frozen with a slow intimate step routine.
 
Michelle had her eyes closed for a moment in the embrace; feeling the warmth and movement, her eyes opened to gaze into his. His head in close and angled, almost seeming like there was a heartbeat between dance and possible kiss. She let the music move her; head swaying and letting it move to her whole body as much as the steps would allow.

"Hurry up..." Suddenly he was using the Quick, quick Slide of the rear leg to end the turn, the explosive energy of the up coming music flooded all that moment and as the words had said the moment was over as he took her to the dance again.
