you've been dancing all your life
with no hope of making it right
all the steps cause you to fall
but you try to fight it all
your heart pounds to the beat
as you stomp and move your feet
your lips curl with striking glee
why don't you come dance with me?
i will help you tango
grab my hand and don't let go
we can do the cha cha slide
if i can take you for a ride
slip and slide to the music
we will play our song and lose it
we'll change the world with our beat
as long as you come with me
i'll teach you just the way i dance
and then we'll fall in love again.
who said falling in love was easy? maybe falling out of it is, but in? that takes months. years, even. taking cautious steps around each other until all you have left is the feelings you have when around your significant other. it's all called the dance of love.
one wrong step and the music restarts. you trip and you tumble onto the floor, gaining bruises and muscles. aching and out if breath, you must either give up or keep going until you master the moves. a difficult choice, indeed. for some, the dance seems easy. others have obstacles in their way. whether the floor is clear or covered, it is up to you alone to dance to the beat of the music, or rather, your heart.
but maybe you don't have to be alone. maybe, somewhere in the world, you'll find the one who guides you through each step.
remember, it takes two to tango.

prince mcclief is your everyday, hopelessly lost boy. he isn’t really a prince, but has been given the name due to always wearing a fake crown upon his head. his real name has not been used in years, and even doctor’s visits or other information uses the name of prince. even he has forgotten his own name.
now, of course, his actual name is written on his birth certificate. the only problem is that it was lost in a housefire over a decade ago. in the present, he is twenty-one. old, right?
and he still has the crown on his head.
prince has always been interested in dancing. he’s taken classes, practiced, and has done everything he can to become a professional dancer. but the world is just not on his side.
teachers have kicked him out for tripping and breaking something. others have screamed, telling him that he is not trying hard enough. many classes have turned him away for being male.
prince has given up on his dream, spending his days now roaming the streets of paris, france, with his head held low. heart aching for some type of way to pursue his dream once again, he will sit atop a moonlit hill on every night the moon is at its fullest. his eyes reflect the gleaming stars, and he feels at peace like he did before. a star swings across the sky, and he closes his eyes to make a wish.
i wish someone would take my hand to lead me through the steps of this dance.

for further explanation;
prince is a guy who is looking for a ‘dance partner’. or, in simpler words, somebody to love. he is homosexual and a very sweet guy. his real name maybe revealed in the roleplay, i do not know yet. but, this will be a private roleplay. all i need is the other person to roleplay with, which is why i am making this sign-up thing.
only one person will be chosen, and i will be very picky on who it is. this is not first-come first-serve. i will be choosing the other person at a time i see fit.
prince will have a character page as soon as i stop procrastinating.
to apply, you can use any format you want as long as it has a good description, a name, an age, your posts per day, a linked roleplay sample*, and a plot idea. remember, i cannot load character sites on my phone, so please place any character site information into a google docs page.
*note: if the roleplay sample is not linked, i will ignore your application.
