Those of you familiar with this form of dance probably associate it with Country, but today we will be performing a line dance to Hip Hop music." Wand still out, Airey flicked it and music suddenly filled the Great Hall. "This dance is called the Cupid Shuffle and the dance is quite easy, especially since the steps are said in the song itself. Allow me to demonstrate."

Giving himself enough room, Airey began taking a few steps to the right as he continued to explain. "You take four steps to to your right side... one, two, three, four. Now to the left for five, six, seven, eight. Do whatever you want with your hands and make it your own. Do what feels natural. Just make sure that your steps are four to the right, four to the left." He was going to hold his hands in fists and rock his arms in rhythm with his steps. "Next you're going to do a series of kicks right, left, right, left and try to put a little hop in it if you can," he explained while demonstrating some more. Only his kicks were a bit lackluster in terms of hops. "Last thing you are going to add is some knee movement. You're going to go, with your knees, right, left, right, left while twisting your body left in a modified version of a walk it out. So you go one, two, three, four. At the same time, you're turning to your left. Six, seven, eight," he demonstrated. "And that's it! The Cupid Shuffle. So why don't you all go on and give it a try. Help each other out if you are struggling. This is relatively low impact, so you can adjust things to fit your body."

OOC: My browser decided to restart and lost 2 hours of progress, so rather than start entirely over and make you all wait I skipped individual replies this round ;__________; I'm sorry ;___________;

Go ahead and have your character practice the dance to the music. There are TONS of dance tutorials online if you want to use those to help you with your RPing or do the dance yourself - it's pretty fun :3

You should have at least 2 posts of dance practice. Next instructions will come in approximately 24 hours from the time of this post.

LINE...DANCE...WHAT EVEN...?

Olly groaned while staring at Professor Flamsteed. Groaned LOUDLY. This was stupid. She didn't want to do line dancing. Not to country music. Not to ANY kind of music. And what was this HORRIBLE sound that had just started playing. That was not hip-hop. Not that she was into that but even she knew that this was not strictly speaking hip-hop music.

Why was she here again? Oh right, because of the girl next to her.

Okay, seriously, Schuyler owed her BIG TIME for this. This dance sounded complicated. Olly had already missed the first beat so she had to start with the second set of moves...and why were the other people moving left...this was not how...what was...and she was supposed to do WHAT with her arms?

At some point Olly had just stopped moving altogether after almost falling over when her knee had seemingly just given in. Ooookay, nope, she was not going to hurt herself during dance class. Nope. Why was this dance even part of the class? Shouldn't they be learning how to do, well, traditional kind of dances? Or would they be dancing THIS at that Valentine's event?

If so, Olly would be sitting that one out. Sorry.

And then there were the two chained together and stumbling around in his path. To be honest, Airey really didn't want to even know why they were like that, so he wasn't going to ask. Although he was a bit concerned how the next part lesson would play out. So he just sort of shuffled right on by them before giving his cane two more loud taps against the ground and the music stopped.

"Alright, that is enough Cupid Shuffle for now," he announced. "Time for a bit of a change of pace. Many of you may have been wondering why there are changing rooms in here, and here is why. In order to get a little more into character and stretch our comfort zones a bit more, we need the proper attire. Ladies, if you will please go into the rooms on the left to change, gentlemen on the right. You will all find a variety of ballroom dance gowns and suits in your respective house colors. While traditionally girls would be expected to wear gowns, I will not be making that a requirement today. Same with the, er, boys. If you really want to wear a gown...go for it?" He glanced over at the the tights obsessed Groundskeeper. Except you. Please don't. Nightmares. "Please do not go looking for a partner at this moment. There will be instructions for how to select your partner once we are all changed and ready. Now go on and get changed....except for you two," he said as he pointed to the chained together Slytherin and Hufflepuff. "You two stumble your way over to me."

OOC: Please finish up your Cupid Shuffle dance practice RPs now

If you wish to make a Polyvore for what your character is wearing or link to a picture you may do so, but it is NOT required. Remember, house colors are what your characters will be wearing (Gryffindors: Red & Gold, Hufflepuffs: Yellow & Black, Slytherins: Green & Silver, Ravenclaws: Blue & Bronze) Be mindful of SS rules and no hotlinking. Please and thank you

No boys sneaking into girls' tents or girls sneaking into boys' ones please or other houses, just so we are clear <3

You have approximately 24 hours from the time of this post to RP your character changing and getting ready for the next part of the lesson. Chit chatting with friends is okay, but don't go overboard please

YES!

FINALLY the dance was over. For now. Olly attempted to stretch her back by leaning back but stopped once she heard a HORRIBLE crack that clearly emanated from her own body. Wow. Maybe she should see someone about that. Though, looking around, it seemed that there were other people that were even worse off than her. Not that that really matte-

DRESSES WHAT????

Olly FROWNED. Glared even. Flamsteed couldn't be serious. They HAD to wear dresses? Why? This was...not okay. Of course she didn't mind seeing the boys in suits - couldn't WAIT to see that actually. Also Schuyler in a dress. Because Schuyler in a dress was always hot. Actually, Schuyler was always hot, with or without dress...

Okay, now she may have stared at her girlfriend for a second too long. Though, was that even possible?

Text Cut: Schuyler

..................great.

Olly narrowed her eyes at the Gryffindor. "There's a reason for that." The reason being that she just didn't like wearing dresses. Obviously. Was there a way around this? A quick look around showed her that most of the girls just looked THRILLED to be wearing dresses. Great. Just great.

AGAIN, WHY WAS SHE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

And she couldn't even join Schuyler in the changing room since they were separated by house (and gender of course). With a sigh and another glare at Flamsteed, Olly eventually made her way over to the 'Puff dressing room.

Maybe if she waited long enough there wouldn't be any dresses left?

Oh Airey, Schuyler was mentally taking back every single bit of blame she put on him for making them do the Stupid Shuffle. Ahem, CUPID Shuffle. Which wasn't even that bad. It was fun once she'd gotten into it. And now he'd announced this. This. Her light blue eyes drifted dreamily over to the changing rooms. All the dresses in there, waiting to be worn. Girls in pretty dresses and boys in dapper suits. If Flamsteed wasn't already her favorite, this totally would have sealed the deal. "I've never seen you in a dress, Olly," Schuyler grinned widely, drawing out the second syllable of her name just a tad. Okay, no wasting anymore time. It was time to go get changed. She didn't want to be left with the second-choice dresses, after all. Helloooo, changing room. ..................great. Olly narrowed her eyes at the Gryffindor. "There's a reason for that."
