Default 1: Dance Theory & Practice (@ The Gazebo)

A surly looking Mr. Stryker is seated on a bench. As you enter the gazebo, he'll motion for you to take a seat on either a pillow, beanbag, or good ol' concrete. Your choice.

Please, come in! The lesson will begin shortly (OOC: 4pm EST, 9pm GMT (I think...) tomorrow), so feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

Temporarily unfocused, Seren turned her head to see if she was right. In her haste she somehow managed to knock her knee into Chad's leg and step on his foot... whoops.
"I'm so sorry!" she gaspd with surprise.

Turning back to Lockhart she shook her head at him. "Now look what you made me do." Yes Treyen Lockhart it is all your fault.
"And whats this about me knowing how to dance? If I knew then I wouldn't be here."
No... she needed these lessons. Otherwise she wouldn't be here. End of story.
Yeah, it had been bound to happen.

Chad made a slight face, but managed to keep quiet as Seren trodded on his foot. He shook his foot a little and then shrugged. "Eh, it will live," he chuckled. Now wait, what was this? Treyen? What was the silly boy up to, now?

I know the basics, but I'm not fluent at it," yet the basics, he could pronounce pretty well. Hey! He and Stryker could so practice, right? Maybe, maybe not. Treyen could still practice with his family if he wanted to...but he didn't, he'd rather listen to them speaking in English instead.

Fun times. Really.

Treyen narrowed his eyes at her, playfully of course, instead of raising his eyebrow. He didn't know for how long and he was certain she wasn't expecting an answer to that question. And he even shrugged after she spoke next, why? Because if she'll get to be taller than him, well, he wouldn't mind that, truth be told. Yet, so far so good. He wanted to keep the eye-level height, at least.

Haha. "Lovely," he said, while smiling as he looked at her, "You should speak French more often," and, no, he was NOT making fun of her, he actually liked her even more (if possible) just by hearing one single word in Chad's language.

The second she took her eyes off him, he regretted having said anything about Chad and Seren's dancing.

Treyen followed Ellie's gaze and...man, he'd jinxed it, hadn't he?

Whaaaat? He did absolutely nothing. The Hufflepuff Prefect pretended to be slightly hurt by Bentley's accusation but the tiny smirk was there. He wanted to tell her that she should've been focusing even more, and that it wasn't truly his fault...BUT...he didn't. She could take 3 points off him...again.

"What? I did nothing!" he said, eyes on Ellie. Oh, yes, he was forever hurt by being blamed on Bentley's loss of focus. No, he wasn't.

The boy cleared his throat and smiled this time, eyes on Bentley, "Simple. You look far more at ease than Mr. Stryker does. You're a natural." Smirk. That means, Mr. Stryker, you're not. Or he's too nervous to dance properly. But then his smile faded a little, "Not even for the fun of it?" the fun of dancing, and twirling Ellie around, which he totally did, by the way. He was just trying to make a point.

But she couldn't stay mad for long, it wasn't her thing. No she was grinning again, it was all in good fun after all and if Treyen seemed to think she was more at easer then Chad then she would take that as a compliment.
"Well thank you dear but I assure you I am not at ease ... not really. I'm rather terrible."

Would she come for fun? Well she supposed she would. Maybe, perhaps....
"I suppose I might be inclined to come for fun, though if I knew how to dance I probably wouldn't participate. I wouldn't want to intimidate anyone with my skills." She winked. Yep, she was just that nice. But really she supposed he was right. Why would she ever pass up the opportunity to dance - well or otherwise ? She just wouldn't. Seren enjoyed it far too much.

Ohhh. That made more sense. "Just because you're part French, it doesn't mean you know the language." Or she'd be fluent in....actually, no. Ellie was pretty much as British as it got. How boring. "How basic are the basics?" Really, just how much French does he actually know? Like...if they went to France, would he be able to converse with the locals?

Hehehe. She narrowed her eyes back at him. She was doubting it, though, that she'd be taller than him. Ever again. Her robes stopped rising above her ankles a while ago. Actually, as far as she could tell, she hadn't grown at all in a while. Not that she ever paid much attention to that. It was only with Treyen, really, that she thought about her height.

Was he serious? "What, the five words I know?" Literally. At least, at the moment, she could only think of five words she knew...maybe. "You'll have to teach me, then. With your vast vocabulary." Or his basic vocabulary. Whatever.

"You broke her concentration," she repeated after the Professor, complete with a confirming nod. Hehe. Maybe they were just dancing a bit too close to Bentley for her to hear him, though.

Ellie eyed Bentley and nodded, agreeing with what Treyen was saying about her dancing. Either Bentley was a natural, or didn't care about messing up as much as Stryker seemed to.

Aaaand twirl. SEE, Bentley. Dancing was FUN. Regardless of how good you are at it.

It was rude to ask her that since they barely know each other, so Jonathan didn't bother in asking anyways.

Jonathan began to lead. She's actually good at this, which is really a plus since Jonathan had his own fair share of dancing with clumsy girls. By the way, his toe can't still recover from the aching. His toe doesn't deserve being stepped on.

Jonathan laughed lightly as Cassie went on ahead with the conversation. Jonathan has to admit that yes, she was pretty and she did have a warm smile but how is that a connection to being a Hufflepuff anyway? So the sorting hat sorts them by smiles and beauty now? That's really funny. "Well..." Jonathan said still dancing the waltz. "I have seen you around school with the Hufflepuff uniform" probably the most basic and safest answer he said. Thing is, Jonathan doesn't know whether she is in the sixth or seventh year. "Graduating this term?" he guessed.

Fingers crossed he is correct.
Cassie had decided to focus solely on Jonathon now and dancing, since he was going to be her project for the rest of the term. Yes she was going to get him a girlfriend. He wasn't getting any younger and neither were the girls his year. By the time he got over whatever it is the good ones maybe gone.

Right and now she didn't have to keep count because she had foung his rhythm so she could easily go along with him without keeping count.

She smiled. She stood out even in her uniform? How aweseome sauce was that?"You're right I am." She beamed at him. Cassie sighed a little and a look of sadness crossed her features for a second or two."Yeah..I am graduating this term.." How sad was that right?

Then again, Eris didn't want to insult this girl's intelligence on dancing, so she was quick to add, "Have you waltzed before?"
Janice wasn't unsure on how to answer this.
"Ish, I think? I mean, I did Ballet before...."

"Ballet?"

Now there was something Eris could only dream of doing, all that pointy feet stuffs required more coordination than her mind could process.

"Okay, so I put my hand at your waist..." Eris positioned her self with a bit of thought since she was now doing the opposite as last time. "and then yours on my shoulder." Eris grinned with a nod as she figured yup, this sounds right.

"Then just kinda do the opposite of whatever I do, so instead of thinking "Left right side blah....kinda just try to see my foot about to come forward and use that as a cue to move your opposing foot back."

She always felt this was the easier thing to do, as you didn't have to think as much and could focus on the actual moment more. Then again, some people, probably like those in ballet, needed to count meticulously in their head.

Seren really did feel terrible about the whole thing and tried to focus on dancing and not stepping on Chad's feet. But she couldn't contain herself, she laughed lightly as Ellie reprimanded Treyen. Now there was a golden couple if ever she saw one. Two quidditch orientated minds...

Turning back to Chad, Seren smiled. "Now... where were we?"

Looking at Aurora, Penny said "We can take a little break if you want".. Penny was having fun, but she wanted Aurora to have fun also.
"See, I must be a good teacher." Aurora grinned. "Sure, let's stop for a minute." She let go of Penny's hand and did a little twirl. She loved waltzing really, and it wasn't too bad that Penny didn't know how to dance - she was picking it up easily.

Aurora caught site of an eagle owl touched down just outside of the gazebo, it stared at her... did it want her..? She ignored it; she'd get the letter from it later if it was for her.

"So, we could make it more complicated if you like?" she said, turning back to Penny.

He then paused for a moment and listened to the instructions, which were fairly easy to follow. Eino turned his attention back to Aspen who had a splendid idea. "Brilliant!" He agreed with a firm nod, nearly hitting her on the head with his own head without even noticing it.

Now, onto the waltz! "We ought to move in a triple meter, so that means three steps. He informed her, just to confirm, before they began. He first jerked flapped his right arm wing, then took one step forward with his right foot. He then did the same with his left arm and foot. Lastly, he took moved his right arm, then took a step backwards with his right foot. Two steps forward, right and left, then one step back with his right foot. There, three steps. While they danced, he hummed to one of the few waltzs he knew, and tried not to look at his feet. Hopefully Aspen didn't mind, the humming... and the staring.

Eino, from Aspen's limited exposure to him, didn't seem the type to idly give praise he didn't mean. So this brilliant business brought on a bout of proud blushing. She had her moments with brilliance, she'd allow that.

...

Okay. Triple meter.

Left step... right step... left. Left right left. Left right left. Backwards, backwards, forwards. Or something like that. She missed a few steps in and among it all, but wasn't exactly bothered. "That's nice," the humming. Several people around them were actually saying which direction to, which foot to step with, and watching their feet and all. Aspen and Eino's chicken wing directions were much more discrete and therefore better to Miss Odessa.

"You've danced before then."
He really wasn't bad at all, but wasn't making Aspen feel inferior. The whole thing... was... oddly nice.

João was glad Louisa had the courage to try that by herself... to step on his foot. He quickly grabbed her from her sides and tried to avoid her fall--which she had already done by holding onto his torso. His heartbeat did get sliiightly faster, but nothing too excited. He removed his hands quickly as soon as she was fine on her foot. "Ready?" he asked again before getting his position.

Yep, she was going to learn.

Louisa DID give the girl a subtle smile as an answer. The girl could be... nice. She hadn't held on to João so much, after all. Louisa could give her that much. Besides, she could be used while Louisa planned destroying Ellie's life - India was a Ravenclaw that could get into dorms. See? She was a smart kid!

Nodding she took a few seconds adjusting her right hand on his arm, left one holding his right hand and took a step forward. Guess what? She hadn't stepped on his foot! She was staring downward, though, watching carefully. Another step to the side, another one to the back..

João was doing very good, too. He managed to follow her. The only thing was that she wasn't looking at him, her feet had their own mind so it only made sense to watch them, okay? and she might be too overwhelmed by the closeness to look at him.

"Step sideways," he told her with a nod as he stepped his other foot to the side then brought his feet together. Tada! "Here," he pressed on her back with the hand that was on her shoulder blade, steering her a little so that it would hopefully be a little easier. Maybe. "And then... do it again, only opposite. Forward, side, step..." He moved slowly as he spoke, doing the opposite of what he said out loud, still steering Ellie in an attempt to help her out. Hopefully it wouldn't just confuse her even more.
This... wasn't working. For Ellie, anyway. She was trying, she really was, but Ellie just wasn't made to dance. She was clumsy and uncoordinated and Dallin was like, WATER. Fluid, gentle, swift movements while Ellie was practically tap-dancing. Yeah, it kinda helped when Dallin steered her around with his hand on her back, but she could barely keep up and remember which way she was supposed to go that the steering almost didn't even make a difference in her horrible dancing.

It only made it worse that once they finished a stupid round or whatever of a couple dancing steps, that Dallin made them go the opposite direction. It was just too much confusion at this point, and Ellie was getting frustrated. Her face was hard as she tried to concentrate on the steps, but it just wasn't working. She ended up tripping on her own feet and stomping on Dallin's toes.

Stopping abrubtly, Ellie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry." She said quietly. For two things: stomping on his toes, and being a terrible dancer. She kind of just wanted this lesson to be over so she could just eat her feelings and cry about how embarrassing this was.

Whatever reason Selina propped herself up on Gideon's chest and then untangled herself and stood up.

She fixed her sweater really fast before reaching out her hand to help Gideon up. Might as well be nice, after all she had prolonged the whole standing up thing, unintentionally of course. None-the-less she had prolonged it and wanted to prove to him that there were no hard feelings; besides, she would have helped him up either way, they were friends. "Need a hand?"
It was Gideon's turn to look away as Selina reddened at his words. The boy figuring it was probably best if he wasn't watching her every move as she pushed off of him and got back to her feet. Once she was free, he started to move himself, getting himself up into a seated positions before he saw Selina's hand in front of his face and heard her words.

"Always," he answered with a small smile accepting the offered hand and getting back up to his knees and finally his feet. He could help being reminded on the time in the 5th floor corridor when she helped him before when he had helped pick up all her sketches.

See that was a normal situation.

"Perhaps we should take a break...hmm?" he asked stepping aside for a passing pair of dancers. After all they had been going for a while with the same movements and perhaps maybe soon the professor would move onto something new.

"Oh...haha. my bad." Indiana giggled as she placed her hand in the correct positon on Kourt's right arm. She nodded as her friend explained to her. She kind of got it. Hmm. "Can...you explain again?" Indiana asked, kind not getting it the idea the first time round.
Kourt grinned and nodded her head in agreement. "Absolutely." It was always fun to just act up and have fun. She hadn't expected Hogwarts to be like this, but for the most part, most of the classes that she had taken part in were very interesting and quite fun.
"Not yet?" She repeated with a laugh. "That would be something; best dancing couple. We'd blow everyone out of the water."

"Sure..." She replied. "When I move one leg...say my right leg forward, then you move the opposite leg backwards, your left leg." She stepped forward again. "Right...and your left. Then my left...and your right. The female partner usually follows the male lead." She stepped again, right...and then left once Indy had followed suit. "A little better?"

"Perhaps we should take a break...hmm?" he asked stepping aside for a passing pair of dancers. After all they had been going for a while with the same movements and perhaps maybe soon the professor would move onto something new.
Selina was thankful that Gideon was not watching her every movement as got herself up from the ground. Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't she be more coordinated? She was fine in the air, but land was a different story. It was like the moment her feet hit the floor she was hitting the ground, or in this case hitting Gideon's chest.

Once she was up and he was up as well she crossed her arms awkwardly and shifted her feet back and forth. Was it just her perception of things or was the air now very tense? It was not like she had never touched him before; they had danced together and hugged before, so why was this so awkward? Maybe because she had never been THAT close to a boy before. Ugh, she was so embarrassed it was criminal.

When he suggested they take a break she played with the ends of her red hair, "Yeah, maybe that would be best."

Alyssa was having fun dancing with the broom and seeing Daisy and Rose dancing the same dance she was dancing with the broom, the Country Rock and Roll waltz. She was trying to remember the sequence to the steps when she noticed another student dancing on her own. She guessed what the girl was feeling now...because she had felt the same only a few minutes ago and would still have been feeling the same way if Rose and Daisy hadn't come and 'rescued'her.

She walked up to the girl and introduced herself. "Hi, my name is Alyssa and meet my partner here, Mr. Broom. Unfortunately Mr. Broom is getting tired so I was wondering whether you would be my partner instead. I would be truly honored. You can even lead if you want to,"Alyssa smiled at the girl.
Alice gave a small smile. This way she would be able to practice, and get used to dancing with someone other than a painting, "Sure", she said,"Also I know a couple off portraits we could practice with when we are not her."

"Portraits? Now that's a new one. Why didn't I think of that", Alyssa thought to herself. "You should introduce you to some of your portraits after class. I definitely would love to practice with them too. Okay since you are leading, I'm going to put my left hand on your right shoulder and I place my right hand in your left hand, your right hand will be on my waist and I will take a step back, right?".

Letting Alice lead the way, Alyssa closed her eyes just went with the flow of the music and the dance.

She often wished that she was as graceful as them, but growing up with three older brothers had all but removed any ounce of grace she may have had with dancing. “What is that supposed to mean?” she asked, folding her arms across her chest. She looked like a ballerina, but she wasn’t supposed to take that as a compliment?

There is a club?” She supposed it was nice to know that she belonged to a club instead of not belonging to anything. Either way, it seemed that her and him were both without partners, so that was something at least. “So..you don’t have a dancing partner either?” Now she was fidgeting even more awkwardly with the hem of her skirt now and swayed a bit back and forth.

Actually…that is exactly what I do,” she replied with an airy giggle. “Mother insists on it. She wishes I was a bit more lady-like, which is why I suppose I am here right now. To try and learn some of the grace and poise that my mother already has.” She shrugged a bit and looked down at her shoes, and then to the ones that she had stepped on earlier. “You hair looks nice too,” she smiled. Could she touch it too? The spikes were really interesting looking.

We can call it dance-phobia if you want,” she winked. It had a better ring to it than the real medical term anyway. “I suppose it is. My name means Walnut in Japanese.” Just to add more flame to fire of unusualness of the situation at hand. “Ezra is rather unique sounding as well.
Ah. Blissful.

Their conversation was going great. She didn't stammer much, which meant he didn't scare her anymore. Good. Although he was standing right there, he is brain didn't seem to register much of her chattering.

Why?

Well, he was going over stuff. Stuff like dancing. Kurumi kept mentioning about how she never got the chance to dance properly, right?. This could only mean one thing.

She wanted to dance. The dilemma? All the guys were taken except him. But he was genetically incapable of dancing. He cannot betray his genes and offer to be her partner.

But he was sweet. "I'm sweet." He mumbled while she went on about how dance-o-phobia asked grace and poise to be more lady-like.

And then, Ezra Prokopowicz Blackwood came out of his trance.

"Do you want to dance?" He asked quickly, taking her hand in his. "We CAN do this." He beamed, looking excited for the first time since he joined the classroom.

He will nail this. Whaa-paa!

João was doing very good, too. He managed to follow her. The only thing was that she wasn't looking at him, her feet had their own mind so it only made sense to watch them, okay? and she might be too overwhelmed by the closeness to look at him.
Still looking into her eyes without ever averting his gaze, João just followed her steps. He felt amazing there for having danced with two pretty girls and for Louisa's jealousy. That secured she indeed felt something. He didn't want to blow up his chance with India too... leaning forward, he whispered in her ear: "Would you like to do something after the class?"

Alice was doing far then she expected to do, she only tripped once! She couldn't wait to tell Mr. Edwards how better she's gotten, of course he would just laugh, and remind her on how it took him two hours just to get her to dance. Turning her attention back to her partner she asked, "How am I doing?"

Turning back to Chad, Seren smiled. "Now... where were we?"
Minerva watched her two dance partners dance around the room. They were doing very well and seemed to having fun. She herself was enjoying just watching. She had taken so many years of dance that it was nice to just watch, but she took the class not to learn but to have something she knew here at a school that she knew nothing at. Then some students caught her eye that were not being very nice to Professor Bentely. Well that is not nice. Minerva thought. She had never spoken to a professor other than just answering a question in class, so she was nervous when she said, "Professor Bentely don't listen to them. I have done dance for many years and I think you are doing just fine for your first time."

Louisa was watching her feet very intently. Step back, step to the side, one to the front and then to the other side. She actually started to feel comfortable. This waltz thing wasn't so hard after all. Not if you dance with someone who knew what they were doing, anyways. Like João who seemed to have done this a million times before.

Speaking of João, she suddenly became aware of his hand catching hers - the sweaty hers that is - and was about to look up at him when he leaned in and whispered. Louisa's lungs tightened and she stopped breathing for a second. Pheeeeeew, he was just talking. Good. Because she was.. kind of.. you know... nervous.

Moving her gaze up to match his, she smiled, "Yeah. Su-"r,. but the word was lost in the loud gasp Louisa gave when she didn't move her foot in the right time causing HIM to stomp on HER foot - and even if his foot was over hers, it was her fault.

Who said people never talked and waltzed at the same time? SHE DID! UGH!

Prue defended, she was definitely younger, younger by 3 hours and 48 minutes exactly. Her birth certificate proved that fact! "Do you have any siblings?"
Presley began dancing the waltz, easily following instructions. She wanted to add a few flairs, but she wasn't sure exactly how much experience Prue had in dancing, and whether she would be comfortable with deviating from the simple form of the dance. Abby? The name didn't ring a bell. Younger than her sister? Maybe they were twins? That was the only logical explanation Presley could come up with. Presley laughed. "I can't recall ever meeting her." Presley almost answered no, when Prue asked her about siblings, but caught herself just in time. "I have an older brother. He works in the ministry," she replied with pride. She really was so proud of her brother, but it was easy to forget that he was a sibling, because he was so much older, he was more like a parental figure that a brother.

Kurumi wasn't sure where his comment about him being sweet had come from. "Sweet?" she questioned as her head tilted to the side in a small spell of confusion. Did he want sweets? Kurumi sadly didn't have any cookies at the moment due to her failed attempts at trying to transfigure an oven in the practice room. She had managed to bake a batch of oatmeal ones for the Headmaster, but those were the first successful batch.

However, in the next instant her cheeks were on fire again as his hand closed around hers. Feeling flustered all over again, but feeling ridiculous for being so since she knew that this was going to eventually happen - the having to dance bit, not that she would be dancing with Ezra.

She nodded her head and a small smile appeared on her lips. "I am glad that you are confident," she half giggled. Now...what was she supposed to do first? "I think...my hand goes here?" she asked as she rested her right hand on his shoulder. Or did it go on his waist? Her hands began doing their own awkward dance between resting on his shoulder and his waist.

Yep...this was going to be interesting.

Finally Louisa also managed to look up, even if it was only to answer him--

And he stepped on her foot!

"I'm so sorry!" he exclaimed, taking a step back immediately to have a look at her foot. He hadn't stood there more than two seconds, but still it was all his fault.

He would make up once the class was finished.

"How basic are the basics?" Really, just how much French does he actually know? Like...if they went to France, would he be able to converse with the locals?

Hehehe. She narrowed her eyes back at him. She was doubting it, though, that she'd be taller than him. Ever again. Her robes stopped rising above her ankles a while ago. Actually, as far as she could tell, she hadn't grown at all in a while. Not that she ever paid much attention to that. It was only with Treyen, really, that she thought about her height.

Was he serious? "What, the five words I know?" Literally. At least, at the moment, she could only think of five words she knew...maybe. "You'll have to teach me, then. With your vast vocabulary." Or his basic vocabulary. Whatever.

"You broke her concentration," she repeated after the Professor, complete with a confirming nod. Hehe. Maybe they were just dancing a bit too close to Bentley for her to hear him, though.

Ellie eyed Bentley and nodded, agreeing with what Treyen was saying about her dancing. Either Bentley was a natural, or didn't care about messing up as much as Stryker seemed to.

Aaaand twirl. SEE, Bentley. Dancing was FUN. Regardless of how good you are at it.


Yes, he was well-aware of that. Kaika even pretended that she couldn't understand a single word of what was being said and he was certain she could. She's also part French but she's amazingly American, not even British. She loves Aspen, that's why the house in Dorset should've gone to him instead of her. But, yeah, whatever.

Wait...where were they? French. Right. "Hmmm, if I get lost then I'll be able to find my way by asking directions and speaking to the locals about simple things...but...I probably wouldn't understand a lecture at any University or something like that," so, that's what the basics were for, right? Meeting people and asking for directions. "I'd do fine if travelling alone," he nodded, not that he would want to do that, it'd be mighty boring. That's why he traveled with Aaron last year. The language had come in handy while they were in Luxembourg, yet it wasn't necessary for either of the boys to speak it.

The FIVE words she knew? "Which are the five words you know?" besides Mademoiselle and Monsier. His smile got wider, "I will, whenever you want me to." And...no books. We promise.

Whaaat? No, he DIDN'T. Treyen shook his head but still managed to smirk, a little, and only spoke once Chad and Seren where back to dancing and focusing on each other...which was something very wrong of Stryker, don't you think? He ought to be watching them dancing, just to see if the students got the hang of it, yes? Like Vindictus had.

Left, right, left again, another twirl, and...Seren and Chad wouldn't hear this time since he moved farther away from them, "She broke her own concentration, not really my fault." He was still holding true what he'd said, about Seren being a natural. She was, and she looked rather pretty while dancing too.

The hold on Ellie was no longer a loose one, but a slightly tighter one as they swayed away from the unfazed Groundskeeper.
