"That's right. Neither one nor the other. Just like you, yeah?"
He smiled with that, his head tilting to the side as he looked down at her. The way the dim neon lights flashed and moved across the floor occasionally reflected against the blue scales along his cheeks, causing them to glimmer out. He may have gotten caught up in the song, but he was not stopping the movements of her arms, hoping to help her grasp the concept of his motions. He wasn't entirely on time to the rhythm, but more than close enough, the buzz of the rum warming his body and hitting him just enough to loosen him up.
"Now, the problem is, music, it's fluid like that, yeah? It's timed but organic. Following a score but also capable of a certain human touch that makes you able to translate emotion through it. So the skill comes to mimicking that with your body movements. There are different techniques of dance, sure. You can learn certain skills, but making it look natural has to do sheerly with sensing out the music and letting your body melt into its rhythms and melodies."
He paused. He was thinking of how he could help someone who is still so new to the concepts of 'moving organically.'
"Feel how my hands are moving? Try rocking your hips from side to side in the same way. Try to shift your weight from foot to foot. Form a balance between how my hands are swaying and the song's rhythm."
