Tim recounts his childhood dance career at a Long Island studio, focusing on Cece, a chronically drunk but gifted hip-hop teacher who could barely speak but could dance, and his rivalry with a fat kid named George.
- Tim claims to be a professionally trained dancer in tap, ballet, hip-hop, jazz, modern dance, and Irish step dancing.
- He attended a dance school called Legs in Rockville Center and describes the hip-hop teacher Cece, who always showed up drunk.
- Tim and another kid named George competed at the school, and his father bonded with him over their shared hatred of George.
- Cece would arrive drunk from the train and teach class while intoxicated, frequently turning off the music and saying 'bat' or making sounds instead of giving verbal feedback.
- The wealthy parents in the well-to-do area were confused and disturbed by Cece's behavior during classes.
- Despite her drunkenness, Cece was an exceptionally skilled hip-hop dancer, suggesting she grew up in a rough situation.
- Cece had a method: she would stop the music when students made mistakes, demonstrate the correct move, and say 'bat' without using conventional language.
- Tim speculates they probably found Cece dancing outside a bodega and hired her to teach hip-hop to Long Island kids.
- He reflects that despite being shit-faced, Cece was a genuine gangster and wonders if they could ever find her now.
