SPOILER!!: Hady-the-Rady (I'm so bad at rhyming)

The Dip & Step hmm?

Interesting that she knew that and not much else. However she did say when they first talked that she really liked dancing but was horrible at it. So given that being said Hady kept quiet watching the younger girl preform the easy dance move in front of her. "That was good. And it's a start." At least she managed to remain on two feet. This showed signs of learning to her.

Hearing Mason name the move she wanted to learn brought a grin onto the older girls face. She knew it. Knew it well in fact. Only thing was she wasn't sure how it would go over teaching someone the steps on the grass. If anything it would make for a less painful fall. "Yeah I know it. It's not really all that hard once you get the hang over it. We can give it a go if you like but it might be a bit awkward to do on grass."

Hady tugged the sleeves of her hoodie up a little bit more as well as the legs of her sweats so she wouldn't trip. Curse being short sometimes! "Alright well first when you move it's the toes of one foot down and the heel of the opposite foot down. You're feet pointing away from each other." Explaining wasn't easy for her to do but showing Mason was something she could do. Angling her feet away from each other so the formed a V shape Hady put her weight on her left toes and right heel. "Then when you move you should end up the opposite for the next step so you'd be on the toes of the foot you started on your heel on and the heel of the foot you started on your toes on, both foot meeting at the toes to make an upside down V." She then went on to show the younger girl what she meant. "Want to give it a try with me?" Step by step they could do this.


Mason beamed at the older girl. "You think so?" she couldn't really see how she was dancing, but she had assumed that it wasn't all that good. Well Hady was saying that it was good, and that was all that mattered right now.

Mason nodded and gave Hady a massive grin, happy that she knew the move, "That would be fantastic!" she frowned at the grass and kicked a tuft of it free, "Oh yeah, I can imagine that it would be silly. Probably won't be able to shuffle as good on the grass."


Mason stared at Hady's feet as she explained the moves. She nodded her head and moved her feet so that they were pointing in the opposite directions. "Like this?"


Mason tried putting the weight onto her toes and heels as Hady had done. Hers looked a lot less graceful compared to Hady's, but this was the first time she had ever been taught a dance, so she hadn't been expecting a miracle.

Mason looked down at her feet and shifted the position of them, so that they were they were in the same position as before, only this time the opposite foot carried the weight of the first move.

Mason let out a deep breath. That didn't seem so hard, but this was only the beginning.
