Jitterbug lessons
What a strange name. Jitterbug! Kiri stared at the Muggles' movements, becoming more confused by the minute. At least she thought she understood now why this kind of music was called rock and roll. The name really was a perfect description, and the effect of the music wasn't lost on her classmates, either. Kiri caught several of them tapping their feet or shifting from side to side in their seats.

But they wouldn't have to dance this... jitterbug themselves, would they? Kiri glanced at the professor in alarm. The movements, unfortunately, looked simple enough that they would be able to emulate them. She'd never danced in her life, but had a sneaking suspicion that, if she were to try it, she'd discover she had two (or possibly more) left feet.

She raised her hand again: "Professor, how did the Muggles come up with this dance?"
