"Oh, stay with us awhile," Yatima added to Kitambi's insistence to stay, she pawed the ground softly. Why was he offering to go visit other members of the pride? She was his guest was she not? Honestly, Yatima didn't know and despite the humble offerings made by the duo, the cheetah felt out of place. It was probably because she never really ever stayed in one place. Social gatherings weren't really her thing, although she liked to perform. However, wanderlust had his claws buried firmly into her and she made no move to resist him. She had to keep moving until she found her calling. So, after this dancing lesson, Yatima secretly planned to get blown away by the wind.
"Alright, I'm ready to learn," Yatima told Kitambi, hopping slightly from foot to foot with eagerness.

"Okay!" Kimanda chirped, settling himself back down. Honestly, Kimanda did not even consider Yatima his guest. She was his friend, so he figured she was welcome here, especially because she wanted to learn. He just imagined his antics might have gotten a little annoying by now, and perhaps he should go bother other people for a while. After all, Yatima was here to learn, and the spotless cheetah was not being very conducive towards that goal. (He was, in fact, not a very conducive thing in general, unless one wanted to loaf off.)
Kimanda flicked an ear and gazed over at Kitambi. "You sure you want me to show her my stuff? I might intimidate her," he purred. Oh, Kimanda, always full of garbage. But he wasn't afraid to show off, no sir. He had been practicing, practicing, practicing and had no fear of Kitambi's judgment. (But then, did he ever?) Kimanda purred happily and swished his tail.

The beat of Kitambi's paws paddled against the ground, kicking up the stout grass into a dancing fury. She would have to learn to dance, just like that grass, Yatima thought. her ears flickered forward, determined to listen to each and every possible sound created by her paws. Sure, she felt comfortable, Yatima pondered, but was she just about ready to start dancing?
Well, standing still wouldn't do much, she supposed.
With the gentle bob of her head, she drank the rhythm in. It would take a couple swallowed before she managed to get the song down her throat into her heart. And after a few more moments, Yatima began to shift her shoulders. She had always moved to her own songs when she was singing by herself. The melody moved slowly until it had her tail swishing from side to side.
Was this how dancing was born?
Yatima moved softly and more the time passed by.

Oooh, that was very nice.
Kitambi nodded her head, still beating out a rhythm with her feet. Yes, Yatima was quite a natural at this dancing thing. "Looks very nice. You can be as free as you want with dancing. There's no limits or boundaries. Just do whatever comes naturally." The young lioness allowed the dance to go out for several minutes longer, before decided that it was time to call it quits. Yatima obviously had the basics down, so this lesson was practically over. They could do drumming tomorrow, and then maybe make her an honorary necklace. Yes, that sounded good.
"Well, that's probably good enough for a starter lesson. Don't want you to get too tired, plus it's good to practice on your own, or with Kimanda," Kitambi nodded to the mentioned cheetah, hoping that he would practice with Yatima. The female cheetah really had something good going for her with this whole dancing thing. She should ask Yatima to help her with her singing. It seemed like a fair trade-off to Kitambi. "Tomorrow, we'll get you on a drum, and see if that'll enhance the experience anymore. Dancing's about being one with your Rhythm, so finding your Rhythm is important."
