"Interpretive Dance" is the 14th episode of the first season of the American comedy television series Community. It aired in the United States on NBC on January 21, 2010. It focuses on secrets that members of the study group are keeping from each other.
The study group discusses moving their meeting time to avoid issues with the back door of the library being locked after 5 pm, but both Troy (Donald Glover) and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) say that they have a commitment that precludes meeting earlier. When Jeff (Joel McHale) arrives, Britta notices numerous similar long hairs on his coat, revealing that Jeff has been seeing the same woman more than once, counter to Jeff's usual one-night stands. Jeff remains quiet on the identity of this woman.
The viewer is shown that Jeff has been seeing a new attractive professor, Michelle Slater (Lauren Stamile); while fraternizing in her office, they are nearly caught in the act by Dean Pelton (Jim Rash), but are able to play him off. Jeff later introduces Michelle to the study group but asks them to keep his relationship a secret, which is already too late as Pierce (Chevy Chase) has sent out a tweet about it. Pelton calls them into his office and makes them sign a form regarding their fraternization. However, when it comes to describing their relationship, Jeff is hesitant to call out Michelle as a "girlfriend", leaving Michelle bitter. Jeff goes to see Michelle in her office, apologizing as he is afraid of commitment. When he promises to consider their relationship more than just boyfriend-girlfriend, Michelle accepts the apology and locks her office to allow them privacy.
Meanwhile, Troy and Britta have discovered they are in two different dance classes; Troy in modern dance while Britta is following her dream to learn tap dance. Both classes are scheduled to have a recital soon; Britta is excited to be able to invite the study group, but Troy remains quiet. Rather than reveal his secret, Troy opts to quit his dance class, leaving Britta disappointed, though Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) believes that Britta is disappointed over Jeff's new romance.
