Hands together, then one hand on her back, over the shoulder blade, then they just move around in a triple meter. Okay, not so hard, but Eino had been expecting them to just hold each other's hands and do a few twirls or something. This wasn't that simple, but it always seemed so effortlessly elegant to him.

When the groundskeeper concluded the first part of his demonstration and instructed them to begin, Eino turned to Aspen. He drew a little closer to her, invading her personal space, and offered his left hand to her. Then, he placed his right hand on her back and over the shoulder. He looked at the two professors for reference and he seemed to have done everything right so far. When he finally looked back up-- MERLIN, they were CLOSE. He was sure he could count her eyelashes! He tried to take a step back but it was impossible without letting go of her. Hopefully, he wasn't making her too uncomfortable. "Is that okay?" He said just for the sake of saying something, and good thing he hadn't eaten anything stinky for breakfast and brushed his teeth thoroughly.

Aspen was shy in most things, but this was just another class assignment, right? No need to worry about hand holding (which this definitely wasn't) or proximity since it was necessary. She was dividing her attention between her own hand placement - one in Eino's, the other on top of his arm... And the Professor's example.

Bit awkward, really. Her elbows felt like weapons.

"I think so. It's a bit awkward." Maybe it was just because Eino seemed a bit uncomfortable, OR since he was taller. One of those. "It's okay though," she went on encouragingly and offered him a smile. "And this definitely won't be on OWLs later, so if it's okay if we're no good at dancing."
