He stuck his tongue from his mouth to taste the air. It was ripe, ready to move. He looked into his bag fidgeting to find his MP3 player.

Neron slowly walked towards the clearing in the Nimbus cliffs. This is where the sky met the earth, and where he could let go. He slowly plugged his ears with fast-beat dance music, and locked his gaze on the clouds. His upper body swayed first from left to right; the rhythm beginning slowly only to pick up with every moment. His call received a shy response from the wind, and so his arms called to them again. This time the wind responded in kind. He smiled as the wind ran through his hair, and now his legs joined the exchange. With each movement of his body the clouds grew closer; the wind circling him to follow along. With a final leaping turn the air lifted him from cliffs. He soared through the skies, while his muscles still moved as they had a thousand times before. The air followed every change in direction and speed.

Neron looked out over the world as he gracefully soared above with the wind at his side. He would test the wind today, push it to the very limit. With a dive forward he plummeted towards the earth, and the wind followed. It caught him, and threw him high into the air. Neron screamed in success, as the wind rejoined to finish the dance. The song was coming to an end; the clearing in sight once again. With a final twist of the body he flew high into the air above the clouds. The sun finally awake basking the clouds in light. He held there for a moment on top of the world before descending back to the surface. His feet making contact with the grassy clearing as the song slowly faded out. Neron looked to the sky once more as it slowly returned to its former activity and thanked it for the dance.

Feel free to critique. This was a new one for me because I don't know much about dancing, but I thought it would be a cool way to approach this.
