**Baby's POV**

"No!" he commanded "Oh, sorry. Sorry." I had no idea what I was doing and I keep stepping on his toe. Keep in mind I only know the first 5 steps to this and I keep stuffing up the first. "You don't step on the one. You gotta start on the two. Find the two. Understand?" he tried to say nicely but I could tell he was seriously annoyed and I felt bad. "I never did any of these dances before." I never realised what I had gotten myself into. "It's one, two, three, four. When the music starts, you don't dance until the two. Got it? Relax, relax. Breathe. Frame. Nope.. Ow. Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Don't lean back. Lifting up. Two, three, four. Shoulders down. Again. Concentrate. And... Don't put your heel down. - Don't put your heel down." How could I keep stuffing it up this much nut I know I didn't put my heal down so I went to argue "I didn't-"

"Stay on the toe. Just listen to me. The steps aren't enough. Feel the music. It's not on the one. It's not the mambo. It's not on the one. It's not the mambo. It's a feeling, a heartbeat. Don't try so hard. Close your eyes. Boom boom. Boom Boom. Boom boom." The feeling was relaxing and I could start to understand what he was saying besides my hand on his bare chest made me feel giddy inside.

"Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Breathe. Head up. Lock your frame. Lock it. Look, spaghetti arm This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours. You don't go into mine. You gotta hold the frame. Again. Frame. Back. Easy. Back. Easy. And turn, turn. Down. And lift. You'll learn that later. And come on. Down. Twist. And the bow." Hours it had been hours of practice after practice dance after dance and I was exhausted and absolutely tired of being bossed around by him. Sure he was attractive but I mean come on this is my first day of dancing ever! And he expects me to be a pro? Like seriously I was fed up! but still I was trying to be polite so I apologised "Sorry. Sorry." "You trying to kill me?" he shouted "You gotta concentrate! Is that your idea of fun?" and then I just lost all my patience. "As a matter of fact it is. We do the show in two days, you won't show me lifts, I'm not sure of turns. I'm doing all this to save your ass, but I'd rather drop you on it!" We stand for a moment in silence before he takes me by surprise "Let's leave." I don't argue but follow him out to his car.

"Shit! I locked the keys in the car!" he then walked over to a post near the parked car and I kicked it out I looked at him strangely "You're getting wet, right?" I nodded and he broke open his back window making me laugh in shock.

..................

"You're wild." I mutter. "What?" he grins for the first time I have ever seen "You're wild!" I yell and laugh again he looks at me chuckles and then looks back to the wet road in front of us.

.........................

"Now, the most important thing to remember in lifts is balance." He says and it was clear that he was now a lot calmer. He was walking along a log 8 feet above a river and I was a little nervous for him especially when he pretended to fall. "Whoa!" "Whoa!" I mimic and chuckle "I got it now." He says when he gets he balance.

"So where'd you learn to be a dancer?" I asked trying to both start a conversation and because I was genuinely curious. "Well, this guy came into this luncheonette one day and...we were all sitting around doing nothing. And he said that the YMCA was giving a test for instructors. So, if you passed...they teach you different dances, show you how to break them down, teach them." He walks towards me he reached down grabbed my hands and pulled me up towards him "What?" I ask my stomach started fluttering with nerves so I just looked him in the eyes knowing that would calm me down "Good. Don't look down. Look here. Good. And...Now, bend your knees and go up." I jumped like he instructed and it scared the hell out of me but I did it!

.......................

"Go, go. Good try. Now, you'll hurt me if you don't trust me, all right? Now, go, go. Go." We started to practice the lift, the major one in the dance. "Good. Now, I'm gonna go up." we were practicing in the high grass and I was nervous about falling and hitting my head. After another fall he speaks up "You know, the best place to practice lifts is in the water."

..........................

"Just bend your knees and... go. Good. Good. Good. Now hold the position. Hold it. Good. Don't break! Don't break!" "Ahh" I laughed while falling into the freezing water. "Let's do it again. All right. One, two, three." He instructed. I stuffed a part up damn it! "Oh, sorry." He didn't pay attention though "Good. Keep- No, don't." "It's not too bad." I say. "One more time. Okay. Over my head. Go." He instructed but yet again I failed to keep it strong.

The next 2 days was full of practicing non-stop with Penny and Darry! By the end of it my feet were killing me from the high silver strappy heels. I was also real nervous about the night I was also afraid that my feelings for Darry were evolving and I knew he would never feel that way about me so I tried to shove them aside!

A/N
So I just realised I stuffed up the seasons in one part using the actual season which was autumn or winter from when they were actually fliming the movie instead of the intended season which was summer. I Don't know how nobody picked up on it before and I don't know why I didn't realise, considering I read over it like 3 times. Anyway it's fixed now so sorry about that but yeah i got it off 15 facts you didn't know about Dirty Dancing and must have forgotten this was actually set in Summer haha
