Any dance related headcanons for Ned?
First of all -- I apologize, this took a bit longer than expected but -- just in time for tmi thursday!
I think I’ve finally found my dancer fancast for Ned -- that would be Dax Hock, whom I’ve seen in a couple videos and who seems to be a fun, confident lead who just happens to look a little bit like Ned too.
Following from that fancast -- Ned is a good dancer and he knows it. He’s got rhythm, musicality, and loves to put on a good show.
He competed a lot in his younger days. (cue exhibit number one:)
(Actually Dax Hock & Sarah Breck)
He can pull off most ballroom styles, but he really shines at boogie-woogie and swing dancing (his mom taught him the basic steps).
He never really thought about making a living out of dancing, but he didn’t stop dancing after he joined the army. The lifted pressure of competition shifted his focus from looking good on having fun with his partner (cue exhibit number two:)
(Same Dax Hock & Maeva Truntzer)
He’s in good enough shape that he can do acrobatics, but they’re not his favorite. Nothing like a well-executed swing out, followed by some quality swivels, no sir
Piper and Reiff are his favorite post-war dance dates.
Scribe Haylen takes some convincing, but the look on Rhys’ face everytime he pulls her into closed position makes it worth it.
