10 DANCE

IT TAKES TWO Shinya Sugiki, the dashing lord of Standard Ballroom, and Shinya Suzuki, passionate king of Latin Dance: The two share more than just a first name and a love of the sport. They each want to become champion of the 10-Dance Competition, which means they’ll need to learn the other’s specialty dances, and who better to learn from than the best? But old rivalries die hard, and things get complicated even further when they realize there might be more between them than an uneasy partnership…

TO THE TUNE OF ANOTHER While Shinya Sugiki’s learning to move to the sensual beats of Latin Ballroom, Shinya Suzuki’s finding it tough to master the waltz, especially without the help of music. Suzuki can’t help but resent Sugiki’s passionless, critical training; but when he flies out to England to watch Sugiki compete on the international stage, he realizes there might be more to that stoic demeanor. What’s more, when their eyes meet in the final dance, a feeling settles in Suzuki that he doesn’t understand, and can’t easily shake…

MASQUERADE As if learning the moves wasn’t hard enough, Sugiki needs to master a crucial element if he’s to succeed in Latin Ballroom: sex appeal. Suzuki takes a personal approach in teaching him the art of seduction, but what happens when the student learns too well? And Suzuki has problems of his own: With the 10 Dance competition on the horizon, he must raise his Standard rank, or risk losing the chance to compete at all. And just as the pair starts to understand their relationship to each other, a secret from Sugiki’s past threatens to undo everything.

KISS ME MORE Suzuki is so conflicted by his feelings for Sugiki that it’s affecting his Latin dancing. But when Sugiki tries to teach him how to connect better with his female partner, he ends up strengthening the connection between the two men instead. As they grapple with their feelings for each other, an unexpected rival steps into view. Suzuki begins to realize what dancing truly means to him, but if he pursues his dream, will it cost him his relationship with Sugiki?

LORDS OF DANCE The brilliant Latin dancer Suzuki has finally set aside his pride in order to seriously dedicate himself to competition–but how far will that carry him when his opponents are the top two dancers in the world? Even as the audience cheers for his performance, nobody notices the tense moment when he locks eyes with Sugiki, who watches from the sidelines. Sugiki’s feelings for Suzuki are threatening to overwhelm both men–but is this really love? And if it is, are they prepared for what that love may demand from them?

"I Love You." Those were the words Suzuki uttered softly to Sugiki before the two parted ways. Although the two men have since reunited and restarted their dance lessons, it’s clear neither can forget their shared past. As both Suzuki and Sugiki struggle to suppress the residual feelings they hold for each other, a man appears on the scene who will change their destiny...forever.

Refinding One’s Center Suzuki and Sugiki continue their dance lessons together following their breakup, although the pair ultimately decide it’s best to end their relationship in order to move on. The two go their separate ways, with Suzuki under Norwan’s wing and Sugiki under Gabriel’s. Will the thread that connects them finally be severed forever?

DANCING IS LIFE Despite their love for each other, Suzuki and Sugiki said goodbye and resolved to move on. But after coming face-to-face at a competition, a flood of emotions sends them back into each other’s arms. Their indecision over whether they can make this work threatens to interfere with their careers. Meanwhile, they’re being led astray by a grand proposition that could change the course of both their lives—forever!
