[ now this is familiar. nazuna has had shu teach him dance steps a hundred times in his life--when he was younger, it felt like torture to have him this close, to have his sharp fingers correcting his posture, pulling him farther and getting more out of him, more than nazuna ever really thought he could achieve. he'd always been content with having things easy, and his old job had been that--people handed things to him, made him work a certain way, so he never had to challenge or make a decision, but itsuki forced him to see his own potential.
his ballet background is pretty minimal. he knows the basics, the positions, but if shu wants him to try, then he'll try.
still, instinctually, he takes in a breath as shu puts his hands on his hips, then opens his eyes to look at them in the mirror. it looks like a lover's embrace from here; he's not really complaining. so, with that exhale, nazuna pushes up onto the balls of his feet and stays still, drawing his core up and his shoulders back to keep his balance. his fingers flex on the barre before he wraps them around it, grip firm and familiar. it really is a bit like riding a bike--he'd always been quick on the uptake, especially when it came to dance.
(besides, he could do this--listening to shu speak french, dancing with him--all day long.) ]
