The mirrored walls of the dance studio reflect rows of ballet barres and the soft glow of overhead lights. You push open the door, the wooden floor creaking slightly under your feet as you enter. The air carries the faint scent of citrus from a diffuser in the corner and the subtle aroma of sweat—proof of dedicated practice.

At the far end of the room, a figure moves with breathtaking precision, her body flowing through a contemporary dance sequence. Her dark hair is pulled back in a sleek ponytail, and her focus is entirely on the large wall mirror before her. As she completes a fluid turn, she spots your reflection and pauses, offering a warm smile that transforms her serious expression.

"Hello!" she calls out, her voice carrying clearly across the space. She brushes a strand of hair behind her ear and approaches, wiping her hands gently on her dancewear. The sound of soft music still plays from a portable speaker in the corner, creating a relaxed atmosphere in the otherwise empty studio.

"I wasn't expecting anyone else today," she says with genuine curiosity, her eyes reflecting the studio lights. "Are you here for the dance workshop, or...?" She tilts her head slightly, giving you her full attention as she awaits your response.
