"Well it depends on the women, if she still is with her family you have to ask her father for permission, however if her father is no longer there you most probably ask the elders, in my village that is the temple high counsil." Kiya explained.
"What are you looking at?"

"The snow. The snow is beautiful when it falls like this. The flakes seem to dance sometimes and it reminds me, sadly enough of how a couple would waltz." The silver haired man continued to watch the white flakes fall and a nostalgic smile crossed his face. "You must forgive me. It is a european thing to watch people dnace together and sense the joy they are in."

"So the waltz is a dance?" Kiya said thoughtfully. "Could you teach me?"

"Sure." Ivan went over to one of the tables and placed his tape player on it, tranforming it into a boombox so the sound would be richer as he then slipped in a tape of a watlz he had found in his room the night before that he wanted to play for her. He then walked back over to her and took one of her hands in his and rested the other at her hip. "Just follow my lead." he said, as he turned on the music. "Do as I do."

Kiya stood straight as she tried to copy Ivan's feet movements, it seemed so simple yet so hard. She was used to dancing inspiredly, most dances from her home were usually inspire by either love or hate and showed the like, this one to Kiya seemed so much different.

Ivan tried to make the waltz simple by counting to help her and keeping to the basic 1-2-3 step the whole time. Had he been in a tails suit, this probably would have been a lot more fun...

Kiya was indeed greatful for Ivan's counting, "Ivan," She asked slowly when she was starting to fall into the rythum, "Is there a..." She paused trying to think of the right word, "Motivation for the waltz. Usually I find dacing and all things considered with the arts has some feeling behind it." Kiya said with a slight shrug.

"The motivation behind the waltz is to dance with grace and elegance with your partner, to pretend that, just for a moment, you're amongst the clouds instead of on this cold earth."
Ivan then twirled Kiya and fell back into step again, this time not counting to see how well she had learned so far.

Kiya laughed as Ivan twirled her, not just because it had taken her by surprise but it felt wonderful breaking slightly from the repetive steps. Falling back into the steps Kiya only stepped ever so lightly on Ivan's foot once as she got back into the rythum. "Sorry," She said quickly.

"No worries." he said as he lead her around the room in the same pattern of dancing that he had started with her earlier, every one in a while spinning her again.

Kiya smiled as she got used to the dance more and now didnt stand on Ivan's foot once even when he spun her. "This is actually pretty fun."

"Now imagine us in a room with hundreds of other people, all dancing the same way we are. The women in pretty, floorlength dresses and the men in tailed suits." he whispered in her ear as he finished the dance and stopped them just as the music did. "That is what is called a ball. Very famous in Europe."

Kiya closed her eyes, she could almost imagine the scene Ivan whispered but was brought back to reality when they stoped as the music did also.
"It seems beautiful, I can see why it would be famous."

The young man took a deep breath then collapsed on the bed. "It's been a while since I've danced like that." he said and curled up on his side. "now I just made myself tired."

Kiya sat beside him on the bed, "Dont take much to wear you out does it?" She asked with a cheeky grin.
