And a sashay, and a spin, and a step, step, step.
She swung her hips and pointed her toes as she weaved a path across the dance floor. The music pounded in her ears and numbed her senses as she danced like no one else could dance.
Sway, skip, step, step, step.
She ignored the oppressive heat surrounding her, the sweaty bodies and the smell of alcohol. She ignored the flashing lights and shaking floor as she closed her eyes and raised her arms above her head. Raw passion and confidence flew off her in vanilla-scented waves and people stopped and stared as she shimmered past them. There was a certain brilliance about her, an ethereal beauty that was destined to haunt each and every person in that club.
Shake, shimmy, step, step, step.
Some men tried to get close to her, to have to honour of dancing with this magnificence… but she spun away from them, with closed eyes and a hint of a smile. She was dancing alone tonight.
Swing, strut, step, step, step…
