Shaaaake it out. She did jazz hands and a shimmy with great enthusiasm.

"Rain dances, are examples of this! And some of you might have heard of Wakefield's Sambata. That is an example of Dance Magic. And there are a BUNCH more. Can anyone think of any? Has anyone heard of any other particular dances that bring the magic? And if you haven't, what would you like to call a dance magic spell, if you got to make one up? And what would you like it to do?"

ooc: This is where you get to be CREATIVE. Two options here:

1) Make up something like 'Wakefield's Sambata' that supposedly already exists in the Magical World that your charrie has heard of. They don't have to know what it does, or you can make that up too. They definitely shouldn't be able to actually DO it

we're just talking about hearing about something in passing. Creative license is fun.

2) Have your charrie think up a name for a dance magic spell. For example, if West was in class he might decide that it'd be cool if there was a spell called 'West's Wombat Hustle' which allows the caster/dancer to conjure up a Wombat.

That... was a hard one, and Vivi rubbed her bottom lip thoughtfully as she wracked her brain for instances of dance magic. Like Wakefield's Sambata, hmm? Her mother danced in the garden with her plants ~~and in the library with her father, but ew~~, and Alena danced in the kitchen, but it wasn't magic-making.

Oh, oh! "What about the Flamma-Flamenco, Cel-an-dine?" She stomped her right foot forward and did a little arm flourish over her head with a grin. "My father knew a Potions Master who insisted on lighting his cauldron with it."
