New Chapter: Dancing Through Life: Or How to Avoid Stepping on Toes (27/30)
The Curtains Rise: Chapter 27 is live! 💃🎻
The summer dance competition has officially begun at Shiz University! While the crowd cheers for the grand entrance of the judges, there is a whole different kind of tension building behind the scenes.
Inside Chapter 27:
🎭 Special Guests: Antonio Saltatio introduces the grand judges—including a very inspiring speech by Lyman F. Arbor.
🤫 A Private Word: Elphaba pulls Fiyero aside for a tense, mysterious chat just before the music starts.
🧊 The Awkward Cheek-Kiss: Elphaba's nerves are so shot she accidentally causes a highly awkward moment with Glinda, leaving the blonde confused and a bit sour.
🩰 First Positions: The orchestra plays, the slow waltz begins, and Glinda and Fiyero step onto the floor while Elphaba tries to keep her composure in the stands.
The Snippet:
“The music swelled—a small orchestra was playing—and the couples began to sway to the rhythm. The competition had finally begun!”
The stage is set and the first couples are about to be eliminated. Read Chapter 27 of "Dancing Through Life" now on AO3!
