She nodded as the girl fell back into the line beside her. Well she guessed she had made a new friend. Harlow clapped then hopped. "Oh crap." She didn't have the sequence right. This was going to take awhile. She hopped then kicked then clapped. "Oh man," this was not good.
And oh great the class was moving on and she still couldn't hop, skip and shake a tail feather.
"You can do it!" Celandine encouraged enthusiastically. "Don't overthink it too much, just feeeeeeeeel it. I'll help you after we grab all the steps together, if you like, but I think you'll just be fine!" Quote:

So it's a hop on left and clap, hands in the air. Juliet followed her, somehow in the same pace as her. Then its wiggle and right leg out. Okay. Juliet did fairly on these stepping. It's easy since it's the first steps to do. That's understandable. Now to try it on her own.
HOP.CLAP.WIGGLE.KICK. AGAIN!
HOP.CLAP.WIGGLE.KICK.
Grin!
"Great! Now work on the other bits!" Cela encouraged. Quote:

Hop!Clap.Wiggle.Kick. ... Hop!Clap.Wiggle.Kick. ...
Blink.Blink.
Wait! There was more?
The badger smiled at Cela, really appreciating her reassuring words. She knew she wasn't the best dancer around, but at least she was still having fun. AND she hadn't even fallen over or anything! That was a major accomplishment for Ella.
With a deep breath, the third year decided to add on the new steps to the ones she already knew how to do. Best to get the whole thing going, yeah? And a 1, and a 2, and a 1,2,3,4
Hop!Clap.Wiggle.Kick.Shuffle!pointinggggg! ... Hop!Clap.Wiggle.Kick.Shuffle!pointinggggg! ...
Hop!Clap.Wiggle.Kick.Shuffle!pointinggggg! ...
Hey! This was really fun! Giggle.
Wait...what? Ella stopped her dancing to watch this Tap!Ball. Swingggg move. EEP! It looked...a little complicated. The third year decided to try and get that down before adding it all together. She could totally do this, yeah? Yeah!
She tapped her right foot on the ground, then continued to stay on the ball of that foot. Then Ella swung her left foot around, though with a little too much force...
O_____O
One second she was dancing, the next the third year was on the ground, legs kicked out in front of her. WHOOPS. So much for that not falling thing. And nobody saw that, right? RIGHT?
Standing up again, the badger kept at it. She was determined to get this right. Tap!ball...swing. Hey! Not bad! Tap!ball.Swing. BEAM! Tap!ball. Swingg!
Brilliant! Now to put it all together.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg!
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Nope! Nobody saw! Teehee.
Cela gave a thumbs up of encouragement! She was getting it! Quote:

He put his right foot and began shuffling forward. It reminded him of a song by the muggle band LMFAO. And his fingers down, he took the four half steps. "Oh you're welcome!" Such good manners!

"Wooo nearly there! Now once you've swung that foot around," She demonstrated again, "Bring that right foot across in a biiiiig step, and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide your left foot to follow! And Jazz hands like you mean it!" She demonstrated, taking a biiiiig step to the right, putting her weight on her right foot and sliding her left foot across to follow while her hands totally JAZZED.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg!
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands!Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide! "One more after this one and we'll put it all together!"
Then she could teach them the silly incantation and explain what they were doing and what intent they needed of course.
