Fluttershy has always been secluded. It's not just that she was shy, but that she never found anything that really meant something to her. But one night, she follows her cousin into a new world, a world where anypony can be who they truly want. A world that dances.
Now, she will take a path that nopony would expect of the shy mare. She enters the world of breakdancing.
Wait! Before you completely skip this, I know breakdancing seems just ridiculous, but just give it a chance first... please?

I like this more than I expected.
you've caught my attention. please, do continue.
Are you sure it wasn't inspired by
Edit: I'm a genius Also "cliqued" should be clicked. Clique means a social group.
Edit part deux! I don't think this is a slow start at all, you do a great job of characterizing Candy and 'Shy so that even someone unfamiliar with the show I think could get into this. You immediately start the action of 'Shy sneaking after Candy and discovering the club and the cliffhanger is just perfect! Can I humbly suggest submitting this to EQD?
So, is this pre-Twilight Sparkle's arrival? Given the severity of Fluttersy's agoraphobia and Rarity being the only other Mane-Sixer referred to by name, that's the impression I get.
2395315 No, it's after Twilight arrived. It's just that we only ever see her out with Rarity.
Not bad...i'm tracking this.
Hmm... But why the stigma against dance in general? It's been around, though most ponies don't dance well it seems. Maybe it's more a style thing.
Either way, I like this.
2459730 maybe in some way dance remember the racial tension between the norm and the not norm and maybe just maybe this will all end up in the land of awesomeness
This is how flutter shy dances: http://cheezburger.com/7151983872
I'm really hoping that Fluttershy will try break dancing herself in the next few chapters. This story may be a little silly, but it's really good and really fun.

You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind
2472168 'Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance,
Well they're no friends of mine!
2472450 I say, we can go where we want to,
A place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Wasn't going to read quick, maybe put off. Then I saw that the author wrote my little DJ, a story that I easily forget but loved, I will read this sooner now, after 1 chapter of my current story. Can't wait and I hope it is as good as My Little Dj. Should be interesting to see Fluttershy break dance.

I was sort of just reading the description on EQD and then it was like, "...breakdancing." And I was like,
"lolwut.com/layout/lolwut.jpg "
I am definitely going to read this.
I read it before reading my story I was on. This is the best story ever. (So far that I remember, don't remember many at the moment.) This story is awesome! Can't wait for more chapters, need more Fluttershy. I need to start reading more stories about fluttershy, I have grown to like them.

PS: I am on my iPod and the only 2 emoticons I remember are and , but that isn't so bad, I got fluttershy :D I need more of her.

I laughed so hard at this you have no idea. There's a club in my town live in called The Spot...
I think everyone else is just jealous of their dancing skills
I can tatally imagine someone making an animated video of them dancing.
That would be awesome.
Mmm...I'll read on.
I think I'll like this.
What does "welp" mean?
also,

2671932 It means "well" it's just how some people say it
Oooh... I can't wait for the F-shy to actually start her dancing. Keep up the good work!
Cant wait
YES! NEW CHAPTER! I can't wait to read it, keep up the good work with cutest pony.

Hmm... Who could the mare Simon wanted Flutters to meet be? Questions, questions. Also, I hear ya on the iPod/iPhone front! I should be writing soon but my computer broke and I don't know about writing on an iPod/iPhone. It just doesn't seem right to me. Also, if you write on your iPod a lot, you should consider getting an external keyboard for it!
Whew, that was a long post.
Yeah this seems fine with just Slice of Life. Im looking forward to more.
I just began to read that, when, i tumbled upon Shy's cousin's name. Seriously Candy Mane?
Is she gonna hook-murder her, or whatnot?
ಠ_ಠwut...
Breakdancing. Fluttershy.
HELL YEAH!
Rarity is foreboding.
Dude, I love Macklemore!
Heh. Good'ol Lyra.
Wanna learn to stand? Go to her.
Still, nice update all the same.

Now, I might be assuming, but considering that the exercise was walking on her hind legs, wouldn't she mean to say "walking on your forelegs" instead?
2959979 Not really. The excercise was standing on her hind legs, but she still has to learn to walk.
Fair enough. My misunderstanding, still reading this.
And still seriously wishing someone with animation talent would make a break-dancing Fluttershy video.
I've got to say: you're getting a lot better at the comedy bits, you actually managed to make me laugh at some of the shenanigans (hoo-mans )
I'll be looking forward to more chapters
I really like this story! I can't wait to see when Fluttershy actually break dances-- and maybe she'll serve a couple of ponies in a dance-off.
MAKE MORE!
well this seems to be interesting enough^^ Onward!
I just had a random though... would they accept someone who'd dance Shuffle and the like into the Spot? It sounds like they're all break dancers there. Although, they have a Dj there...
nice to see that Lyras obession with "hoo-mans" is useful for something for once^^
The end was the best though^^ "dont ask" I just love those words whenever I see them^^
PLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz update
4709812 I second this.
Flutters should be like half ballet and half break dance. CLASSICAL BREAK DANCING!
