Welcome to The Ballroom 1-11

In this chapter, we learn that the two of them have been invited out to a hot spring party by sensei Tenpei. When Tenpei asks if he should stop dancing, he is told that it is good for his leg to be out in the hot sun.

He asks Tenpei if he means to "get better than me," and Tenpei replies that he does not mean to get back to his friend. He adds that he would never be able to dance as well as he does if he were not invited to the shindig. He also says that anyone who learns the steps and starts dancing can feel that he can dance and that this is a great thing in dance because it makes people feel like they can dance. He goes on to say that if they do not learn the steps, then they will feel that they are not good enough to dance. Then he says that they must be perfect in each of the four dance categories.
