Last Dance

Dancer asks if I'd like to get the “last dance†from her. I thought she just meant last dance of her shift, but turns out she was quitting dancing that night. She was offering her last dance, ever, which was too unique to pass up.
We chatted a little afterward, and she gave me the rundown: Danced for 9 months, banked as the new girl in the club, even though she couldn't really dance very well at first. The newness factor wore off, but her dancing had improved by then and she picked up a few regulars along the way. Still, business was slow, and the club kept raising house fees, hiring too many girls, etc. She had finally decided to get a “real' job in a restaurant.
Could have been SS (not my usual club, so I won't know if she shows up dancing next week), but I didn't get that vibe. Anyway, how typical does this sound to you?
“So let's dance, the last dance
let's dance, the last dance
let's dance, this last dance tonightâ€
Got something to say?
