She walked towards the board with the welcome message and then turned towards all of the students, "Welcome everyone!!!! Will you please all start finding a seat against one of the walls and all conversations should end right now so we can get started..." she said sweetly with a little nod. She gave the students a few minutes to get settled and then continued.

"I'm sure you have all noticed the drastic change of the classroom." she said spreading her arms out to signal the mirrors and the hardwood floors and the lack of desks. "Well, today we are going to focus on something really fun and exciting from the Muggle world." she said with a little wink.

"Just like in the Wizard world, the Muggles have a variety of dances that they always seem to work into their major dances at school, weddings, birthday parties, etc. These dances are very interesting and tons of fun!" she said with a flick of her wand. "And what makes these dances even better is that the majority of them are easy to learn and you don't have to be a dancing expert or even novice to get them!" she said excitedly to ease the nerves of those students that might be nervous about dancing.

She smiled and glanced up and down the classroom and with a flick of her wand dots about a foot wide appeared evenly spread out on the hardwood floor. "Okay if everyone will get up, and quietly, head towards a dot on the floor....then we'll get started learning some of the dances."

She gave the students a few minutes to find a dot and she monitored them closely to make sure that the students weren't talking...she knew if she let them talk on this first move the rest of the class would be a disaster of talking.

Once she was sure everyone had a spot on the floor, she turned around and erased the board and then grabbed another marker.

"Let's start by listing some Wizard dances that we do at dances and events, such as the Hippogriff Shuffle..." she said with a nod and then she turned and wrote that on the board. "Can anyone name some other dances...remember to only name one and don't repeat others' answers."

OOC: Okey dokey...I'm going to give you a little bit of time to RP moving to your dots and then giving answers....now you can be as creative as you like with your dance names...I mean I made up the Hippogriff Shuffle. Just have fun with this. Remember NO TALKING, RAISE YOUR HAND, ONLY ONE ANSWER PER PERSON, and DON'T REPEAT OTHERS' ANSWERS (which shouldn't happen with this one since you're just making up dances)

See you in a few!

Cool, Wizard Moves. Katrina knew only a few but the others stole them. Psssh... but she had one more.

Katrina raised her hand. "I remember this move called the Firebolt Rush,"

Ooh, Katrina hoped her answer was correct. Hehe.

When they had a substantial list, she turned towards the students with a smile. "Great job! I have to admit that I haven't even heard of some of these dances...it might be fun to see if the History of Magic professor or one of the professors that teachers a more Wizard centered class would be willing to teach these to us..." she glanced at the list again, "because some of these some pretty crazy interesting..." she said with a little nod.

She glanced up and down the rows of faces that seemed pretty excited and asked the next question, "Now I know not everyone is going to know the answer to this one, so don't fret or worry if you don't have an answer." she turned towards the board and flipped it over so that a clean dry-erase board was there. "Can anyone name any Muggle dances, such as the Chicken Dance or the Cha-Cha Slide?" she said as she wrote the first two on the board to start off their list of Muggle Dances.

OOC: I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WIZARD DANCE NAMES!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!

Here we go again...I'm going to give you a little bit of time to share your answers.... Remember NO TALKING, RAISE YOUR HAND, ONLY ONE ANSWER PER PERSON, and DON'T REPEAT OTHERS' ANSWERS.

See you in a few!

Katrina raised her hand again.
"I've heard of this dance named the 'Tinikling'" Katrina gulped. "It's this some kind of Filipino dance."

Katrina took her seat. Oh Merlin, she thought. I have to get this one correct.
