Chapter 4 Finding a Dance Teacher
The next afternoon, Gaz, Dave, Lomper and Nathan were in a most unusual place. They were sitting in a school classroom, looking down into the school hall below. There was a dancing class in the hall, and about twelve middle-aged couples were moving slowly round the floor. It was Nathan's idea. He had seen a sign on the school notice- board advertising dancing classes. He was anxious now to help Gaz and had suggested coming to watch the class. But it wasn't the sort of dancing that Gaz was interested in. 'The notice just said "Dancing Class",' said Nathan. 'Sorry, Dad.' 'It was a great idea, kid,' replied Gaz. 'It's just not the right sort of dancing, that's all.' 'Gaz, Gaz!' Dave whispered suddenly. 'Look!' Their old boss, Gerald Cooper, was moving smoothly across the dance floor, performing a number of complicated dance steps with his partner. Gaz began to laugh. He's very good, isn't he?' said Dave, his mouth open in astonishment. 21 'Yes, he is,' agreed Gaz. He stopped laughing as an idea began to form in his mind. Just then Gerald looked up and saw the four faces looking down at him. He stopped and stared in horror, then said something to his partner. A few minutes later, the classroom door opened and Gerald stood there angrily. 'All right, you've had your entertainment. You can go home now,' he said. Gerald hadn't expected to see anyone from the Job Club at his dancing class. It was one of the few places he felt safe, where he could forget his problems for a time. 'But you're a very good dancer, Gerald,' said Gaz. Just then, Gerald's partner appeared behind him. Her hair was piled high on her head and she was wearing a lot of make-up and gold jewellery. This was Linda, Gerald's wife. 'Come on, Gerald, we'll miss the next dance,' she said, then stopped in surprise when she saw Gaz and the others. Gerald was trying hard to think of something to say. He didn't want Linda to meet anyone from the Job Club. He had to get her out of there as quickly as possible. So he said the first thing that came into his head. 'Sorry, love,' he said. 'These are friends of mine . . . from . . . from — er — work.' Linda stared in astonishment. These were not the kind of people she thought her husband worked with. 'Oh,' she said, then added politely, 'Are you going to join our class?' ' W e l l . . . ' Gaz was beginning, as Gerald laughed nervously and pushed Linda towards the door. 'We'd better get back now, love,' he said. 'That's right, Gerald,' said Gaz. 'You go back to your dancing class. We'll see you later.' He stopped and added with a look full of meaning,'At work.'
