Lana saw Raven walk in and waved. "Hey Raven! I was beginning to wonder when someone I know was gonna walk in!" she said chuckling.

She noticed her friend's attire. "hey! I've seen your look before.. but I can't remember where." She slightly frowned. This was going to bug her until she figured it out. Nothing bugged her more than knowing something and not being able to remember what it is.



Lana saw another one of her friends enter in and sat down a little down from where she was. She waved to Tiffany and smiled. "Psst.. Tiffany! You can come sit her if you like," she said as she pointed at a chair nearby.



Desiree! Gosh, I haven't seen her in awhile! She waved frantically at her friend and gave her a quick hug. "Hey, nice to see you!" she exclaimed as she stuck her tongue out at her friend. It's been awhile since she's been to classes due to her scales. Something she wanted to forget now and laugh about later.

As soon as the professor started talking, Lana ceased hers and paid attention. Dots? She walked over to the one next to Desiree and shot her an apprehensive look. She still wasn't sure what the class was about. She just wasn't paying close enough attention.

Name a dance move?! Merlin's Beard. Today is about dancing?! Lana wished she could leave. Dancing just wasn't her cup of tea. She figured it'd be rude if she just left, so she decided to stay. The professor seemed nice, so she didn't want to hurt her feelings. Now as for a dance move. Lana spent a minute or so trying to remember that silly dance move her brother used to do when he was just being goofy. What did he call it? What did he call it? When it came to her mind, Lana raised her hand and waited for the professor to call on her.

"Professor, have you heard of the Tarantula Roll?"

Tayla smiled and moved to one of the dots. She loved dancing! Although she was more accustomed to Muggle dances, she did remember seeing a picture of her grandparents' wedding day - mother's side, so they were witch and wizard. Tayla had asked her mother what step they were doing in the picture.

"The Veela Pas de Deux," Tayla said as she raised her hand.

Tiffany was heading to the dot which the professor had given to each of the student when she heard someone calling her name, kind of like a whisper. She turned around and noticed Lana, her best friend, waving to her. Since the professor asked them not to talk, Tiffany gave a sign to Lana which meant okay. Of course she wanted to sit besides her! She smiled as she tiptoed to the chair besides Lana's in order not to cause any attention from the professor.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Lana,"Tiffany whispered. She then raised up her hand and answered the professor's question,"Is there one kind of dance called the Twinkle Waltz?" Tiffany was unsure about her answer since she rarely danced.

Jory headed to one of the dots Professor Cerulean had indicated on the floor. Dancing was not Jory's thing but he figured why not give it a shot.

He raised his hand as a dance came to his head. ''The Thestral Trot, Professor,'' Jory said.

Gemma smiled as the students started naming what seemed like a neverending list of Wizard dances. As they said each one, she wrote each on the dry erase board in her curvy and curly handwriting. As she wrote each name, the board was charmed to put them in ABC order.

When they had a substantial list, she turned towards the students with a smile. "Great job! I have to admit that I haven't even heard of some of these dances...it might be fun to see if the History of Magic professor or one of the professors that teachers a more Wizard centered class would be willing to teach these to us..." she glanced at the list again, "because some of these some pretty crazy interesting..." she said with a little nod.

She glanced up and down the rows of faces that seemed pretty excited and asked the next question, "Now I know not everyone is going to know the answer to this one, so don't fret or worry if you don't have an answer." she turned towards the board and flipped it over so that a clean dry-erase board was there. "Can anyone name any Muggle dances, such as the Chicken Dance or the Cha-Cha Slide?" she said as she wrote the first two on the board to start off their list of Muggle Dances.

OOC: I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WIZARD DANCE NAMES!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!

Here we go again...I'm going to give you a little bit of time to share your answers.... Remember NO TALKING, RAISE YOUR HAND, ONLY ONE ANSWER PER PERSON, and DON'T REPEAT OTHERS' ANSWERS.

See you in a few!

Alyssa wasn't sure whethere she was supposed to move to another dot, so she stayed where she was and raised her hand and said, "Professor, I've heard of the Macarena. The moves are easy to remember and do".

Louisa sure knew a lot of cool muggle dances! She smiled, happy to be able to bring that side of her life over to Hogwarts, and shot her hand into the air, "There is the Macarena dance, professor!" The Macarena dance to Macarena song, yep, it was really fun and easy to do... also it didn't require fitness or long legs and such - it was Louisa's favorite.

ooc: Oopsies, sorry I repeated an answer but I hadn't seen the post before me until I posted. O__o

Cass laughed again as she listened to her classmates answered. The professor was right, some - ok, most - of them sounded absolutely crazy. The unicorn hop was totally sane sounding compared to those.

She teetered on her dot for a moment, trying to think back to the small amount of failed dance lessons that she had to go through with her mother. Meh.

"Uh. Is the waltz a muggle dance, Professor?" She asked with a tentative smile. She was pretty sure her mother mentioned it in passing...it was a very boring, very dizzying dance.

Jesifur raised her hand, "Professor, The boot scooting boogie? It's a country muggle line dance isn't it?" She asked uncertainly.

Wow wow wow!!! Muggle dance! Raven was very excited. Raising up her hand then she mention the answer.

"Breakdance, Professor! That's awesome"

Muggle dance moves? Eino wasn't very sure, but he had learned from the dance lessons with the groundskeeper that just like in the Wizard World, Muggles also named their dances after objects and creatures and all sorts of things from their own world. All Eino could do was guess something that he had heard from the Muggle world and hope it could be a dance move... If it wasn't could he even be wrong, anyway? Maybe he could make it into a dance move, so this was a win-win situation. That was what he loved so much about Professor Cerulean's classes, it was acceptable to be a little silly with minimal risk of embarrassment. He raised his hand "What about the.. The ummm, the sprinklur!" Did he pronounce that right? He could remember the little Muggle gadgets that popped out from the ground and watered the plants in Muggle lawns and gardens. That could be a dance, right? Do the sprinkler?

Muggle dances. Hmm... That's kinda hard. Well, to Jonathan it is. Luckily for him, he had a traveled with his uncle 2 years ago and came across a very awesome and somehow weird dance. Jonathan raised his hand to answer "B-Boy" yup. that was the dance. He can remember the name clearly since, he asked his uncle.

Was that answer okay though?

Good Merlin, everyone just erupted with answers when the Professor asked if they could name wizard dances. It was best just to sit back and listen than try to answer. Couldn't even think of one fast enough before someone named it anyway.

Crossing her legs and arms, her gaze may have wandered around and perhaps landed on that cake. Hmmm. What if someone were to...accidentally...tip the table over- oh! New question. Yes, she raised her hand for this one. At least before anyone could name practically the one weird dance she knew that was at least somewhat strictly...muggle. "I heard there was a dance called the Robot." Seriously.

Great Godric Gryffindor! She was right? Kurumi had totally made up the wizarding dance since she had no clue on the subject. The Professor's comment about not everyone being able to answer her next question made her nearly snort. Strangely enough, this was the topic she had no problem answering. The previous had been one where she had entirely made up. Hehe.

Kurumi scrambled to write down the list on the board in her notebook with her pencil and would have to ask someone to teach her some of them at a later date. Kurumi really didn't know much about dances to be performed at balls or other such events, but she knew some forms of dance that she performed back home. "There is a dance called Soran Bushi," she said with her hand in the air. It was a dance that she performed often at festivals and required a lot of physical strength, especially with ones knees. "It's a dance with a deep history, based on fishermen. The movements depict fishermen dragging nets, pulling ropes and carrying luggage over their shoulders."

Elise smirked. She'd been right, even though she'd just pulled one out of the top of her head.

Oh my Rowena! A muggle dance?!

Rasing her hand, she answered quickly. "Jazz, professor?"

Now... muggle dances?

Well, of course. They were at the Muggle Studies class, weren't they?

However, Nora knew one that had not been mentioned, so she raised her hand. "The court dance? I'm not sure if that's the name, though," she said, lowering her hand. Court dance or not, she meant the one back in the 15th or 16th century or so. The professor should know.

Thea's hand shot up,clapping her hands in excitment Thea grinned. 'There's the dance to the song called 'Saturday Night' professor.' She had learnt this one at a sleepover with her Muggle friends. They were actually not at all normal..

Making a mental note tot jot down notes at the end of class, THea bounced on the balls of her feet, eager to start the dancing..

Orr raised her hand, "I love doing the Hockey Pokey, Prof." She grinned, it was such a silly dance but really fun to do.

Scott smiled as he saw the dance he mentioned being written on the board.
He wasn't sure whether it was right or not, but at least the professor had thought it was right.

Muggle dances?

This is where Erin, or Aurora would come in handy. He searched and searched until he finally found one that was perfect for the lesson.
He raised his hand "The Can-Can miss?"

Lilly's hand shot up. "The electric slide, professor!" Lilly knew loads of muggle dances. She remembered this from a muggle sleepover she'd been to. Lilly smiled at the thought. It was one of her favorite dances ever.

Cael raised his hand, "I was taught how to do the Foxtrot as a child, though I believe we originally learned it from the Muggles."

So, he guessed that counted, though he didn't really want to think about all of the things they'd 'borrowed' from Muggles.

Ainsley's hand was about to shoot up with the answer 'robot', but someone had beaten her to that. Umm... that was always her party move at any kind of muggle shin-dig, so it took her a while to think of another. Dancing wasn't her forte, to be quite honest.

Urm.... She raised her hand quite confidently, but was still a bit unsure on this one. "...Is Irish dancing one?" Ainsley had never tried it herself, as it looked like it required too much energy and skill. But maybe it could be fun.
... Meh.

Trintiy raise her hand The Tango is one of my faveorite dances.

Luna raised her hand she was thinking 70's ''The hustle,''

Jayden raised her hand slowly. "Erm.... the hand-jive?"
