Watching their feet, Ellie saw Dallin wiggle his right foot. So that meant Ellie would use her left foot to move forward. Got it. And now he was counting? Was that supposed to mean something to her? Maybe it was a beat. Beat? Sure, why not. Ellie didn't know. So when Dallin started moving, she followed with her left foot. And back again. And, OH, to the side. Ellie didn't know where he was going to her movement was a bit choppy. She made a weird face, but managed to keep her balance. They stopped and she looked up at Dallin and blushed. "I'm a horrible dancer." She told him with a little laugh. As if he hadn't noticed.

"Hey, you aren't bad!" Dallin's tone was genuinely surprised. Sure, she wasn't a ballerina, but she hadn't even stepped on his feet yet! And they had only done three steps. But it was a start!

...A backwards start, though. Realizing this, Dallin's eyes widened and he looked down. How embarrassing; he should have stepped forward, not back. But um... it was okay, he could cover it up. He was willing to bet Ellie didn't know the way they were supposed to go anyway.

Ahem. "Let's try going the other way. So... you step back with your... right." Yeah, that sounded right. Hopefully.
