He needed to learn how to dance for the upcoming prom. With all the courage he could muster, he knocked at the door. When it opened, the instructor greeted him warmly. She beckoned him to join the group of beginners gathered on the floor.
As the music began to play, he tentatively followed her lead. His movements were awkward and stiff at first. But with her gentle guidance and encouragement, he found himself gradually loosening up as he surrendered to the rhythm of the music.

He remembers living there on the second floor when they first arrived in this country.
So many memories wrap around its weathered bricks and windows. Its walls bear silent witness to their hopes and struggles to survive.
When the curtains finally part, revealing the rejuvenated facade, he hopes it will remain a legacy to the enduring spirit of those who once walked its halls.
