The classroom looked like the magical version of a gymnasium, which is to say that it sort of resembled the dueling arena, except more brightly lit, with plenty of fresh air magically fanning through the space. Along one wall is a closed and locked wardrobe (hmmm what is THAT for???) and a table with water jugs and stacks of coloured cups, and sliced up oranges on a large plate . There is also a stack of nametags and some self-inking coloured quills on the table so you can write your name and wear a tag for the duration of the lesson. Along the opposite wall there are cubbies for students to put their things in --you don't need your textbooks or your bags for this class!
Right in the centre of the room, lit up just so by the sunlight coming in through the window is your guest teacher type person *blink*. The perky blonde doesn't seem much older than the eldest students and she's dressed in work out gear, and looks quite ready to get active. She smiles and greets each student as they come into the room.
"Hi! Welcome! Come in! You don't mind popping a nametag on do you? Just over there. Oh and you won't need your textbooks or your bags, you can put those in a cubby!" She herself is wearing a nametag, in the blue of Ravenclaw, her name written quite clearly: Celandine Kettleburn.
"Start warming up, everyone! Stretch those muscles!" She leads by example, stopping her stretching and jogging only to greet each new student as they come in, at which point she repeats her instructions cheerfully.
The seminar will begin shortly, in the meantime best settle in and follow instructions. After all, you don't want to upset the former Head Girl or make your very own Headmistress's favourite former student pout, do you?
Quote:
ooc: Game on! You can chat amongst yourselves but make sure your character puts anything they don't need in a cubby, gets themselves a nametag, and starts warming up. Remember, your character should arrive in work out clothes or wizarding active wear. Feel free to make a polyvore set or find a picture online to show what your character is wearing, or just describe it in your post. If you link to a picture though, you MUST host it yourself, so upload to photobucket or something similar, don't just link to the website you found it on.
Also, please note, Cela here isn't likely to take points from you, but she will kick you out of the seminar and bar you from participating if you make her pout misbehave, which means your character won't be eligible for participation points at all, if it gets that far. Your character can be late, but there might be consequences all the same

"Yup elves totally don't need wands, and they can do some pretty amazing stuff!" -----------
But oh! Weren't they just SOOOO good? There really weren't enough points in the worrrrld for good students like these ones! Celandine was still inwardly gushing over the baby!ravies too. Adorbs! Clap clap!
"Lets all line up now! Off the wall, wallflowers! Out of the corners! Come stand out here in front of meeee with a bit of space around you so you don't stand on anyone's toes once we get started. I hope you're all warmed up!" Yeah! Enthusiasm!
"Okay SO one of the COOLEST kinds of wandless magic is.... dance magic! A lot of Dance Magic also has some really crazy incantations or rhymes that go along with it. That's the FUNcantations part.

Shaaaake it out. She did jazz hands and a shimmy with great enthusiasm.

And what would you like it to do?"
ooc: This is where you get to be CREATIVE. Two options here:
1) Make up something like 'Wakefield's Sambata' that supposedly already exists in the Magical World that your charrie has heard of. They don't have to know what it does, or you can make that up too. They definitely shouldn't be able to actually DO it we're just talking about hearing about something in passing. Creative license is fun.
2) Have your charrie think up a name for a dance magic spell. For example, if West was in class he might decide that it'd be cool if there was a spell called 'West's Wombat Hustle' which allows the caster/dancer to conjure up a Wombat.
Kat smiled. At least she got a smile on Cela's face, right? Hahaha. Yay Kat. This girl seemed to be so hyped of almost everything. She's so happy... unlike Kat though. But, yeah.
Kat huddled in the middle of the room with the other people in the seminar. Hoping she had warmed up enough, she stood their with her hyper feet listening to Cela. "Well, if there's a rain dance, there must be a sun dance" Good luck.

So they only sounded like nonsense if you didn't bother learning about them. Cela totally suggested the learning. Totally. Or just knowing things, like she totally always did.
Oh a good questionnnn! Hmmm. She started a few jumping jacks while she considered.
"Well its not about brains. I know plenty of not-so-smart witches and wizards that can do wandless magic." They weren't even Ravenclaws or anything! "Its magical power, and practice is what helps there. Aaaand every spell in theory totally could but, the power of the spell is often weaker without a wand. Your wand sort of channels and amplifies what you do. Its like magic is a frequency in the air and your wand is the wireless that tunes you into the right airwaves." Totally. "And sometimes if your wireless doesn't work, you can still hear a little bit, by standing in the right place or on one leg or with a coat hanger above your head or something, and that's what wandless magic is like: finding those little ways to tune in, but it just might not be as clear and you'll have to strain harder to make all the words out."
The point was, Theo would appreciate an English variant to all of the spells, as opposed to Latin. He enjoyed learning parts of other languages but Latin was a whole new level of nonsense. He just nodded at Cela's explanation, as he gathered that there was no way round it, he just needed to study the incantations. Yawn. Booooring.
"Really? Does that mean that... I could do wandless magic? Me?" Theodore's little face lit up a bit. He nodded some more as Cela talked and talked and talked, and he did kind of understand. "So, you'd use your wand for more powerful spells, and wandless for the little stuff, right?" Like the Bat-Bogey Hex, maybe. Man, he really needed to learn that one.
And if he did it wandlessly, no one would even suspect a thing. Oh, the perks.

Back to the Dance Magic. The second year really had never heard of it before in his life, so he appreciated the opportunity to make up their own example. He stroked his imaginary beard for a moment, to think of his favourite dance move. Yea, he really wasn't the dancer type, so this was difficult.
But, ooooooooh, creative brain wave. Theodore raised his hand.
"Kinsley's Karate Krump." He said thoughtfully, "... which, I have decided, will be used as a defensive spell... putting your opponent into an imaginary head lock." And once they were in a muddle with the headlock, it made it very easy to KAYAHHHHHHHHHH. (Knock them over with your mad skills).
And win.
Is that what Cela meant by Dance Magic?

YES. FINALLY.
Abby stopped doing her stretches and listened carefully as Cela went on to ask a few more questions. Make up a dance magic spell? Hm. Interesting. Abby could be creative. Sometimes. At least, she hoped so.
The girl raised a hand. "If I had to make one up, it would be Abby's Amazing Moves." Yeah, not very creative. "And, that spell would make everyone around me admire my beauty. Like, they'd think I'm the only beautiful person on the planet." Abby said, with a dreamy sigh. If that were only possible. Not that THAT wasn't already happening but what if every single person in class threw compliments at her every second of every day? Wouldn't that be ah-ma-zing?
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory listened to all the responses before him. They all sounded like fun. He now put in some thought about his own.
He raised a hand. "Jory's Jetliner Jig,'' he said, amused at what he had come up with. "That would make a jet appear for those who want to travel very long distances quickly. Could be most suitable for family with young kids who dislike Portkeys or cannot apparate and disapparate.''
Well , Nigel liked being creative. He was just going to have to come up with his own awesomely awesome dance. Which of course was going to be awesome.
Hmm. "Barrington's Batman Boogie". Nigel liked how it had three b;s in it. "It will suit me up in an awesome real batman suit and scare villains away."
Yes now that is an awesome dance. But the only problem is Nigel is terrible at dancing.

Off the walls? Well...good thing Kurumi hadn't actually been ON a wall...but now that she thought about it...she sort of wanted to. Especially when Cela told them that their entire body acted like a wand. Although, now that she got to think about the other responses she had given to others...that made sense.
What was it that Cela had literally JUST told Kurumi about strange wand movements? Yeah...she needed to think more that way and now how ridiculous she was going to look with her two left feet once they got to dancing.
Wandless magic...remember...you are here because of the wandless magic...
Pausing for a moment to think before raising her hand. "There is the Nobunaga Odori. I am not entirely sure what it does...but I've read that its movements mimic farmings working their fields. It might be related to Earth Magic."

Harlow started to panic. She didn't know she was going to have to actually dance. She thought this was going to be more of a spectator sport so to speak, but she did push herself off the wall to line up with everyone else.
She had actually took her time with her appearance today. Something she hadn't had the peace of mind to do in a long time. She had managed to wrestle her hair into a afro puff on the top of her head. It gave her at least 4 inches in height. Which still wasn't five feet tall, but she was getting there. Her green leggings and silver ribbed tee were clean and wrinkle free. She felt like a newly scrubbed galleon.
Harlow saw Richard and her face burned. 'Stop it', she commanded herself. 'He is so not into you,' she told herself. Obviously by the way he was eyeing the instructor he liked real woman. And Harlow was still eating at the kiddie table. She pulled herself out of her daydream and tried to pay attention to the class.
Well this was a question she could answer. She raised her hand, "My cousin Paris has this dance she calls the Mancatcher Mamba. She says that 90 percent of the time it works every time." Harlow shrugged. She was sure there was something wrong with that math, but judging from the parade of men Paris went through Harlow needed to work on her Arithmancy.

Oh Cel LOOOOOVED the questions. She made a mental note to show Copernicus the memory of this lesson later so that they could talk about aaall the things that came up and debate and discuss and then after she'd won all the debating, she'd smooch him and that was how Ravenclaws stayed Ravenclaw after graduation. Oh she was distracted again.
She smiled encouragingly and liiiistened.
"Well see, you DO train to not use wands to some degree right? Over the time you're a student and everything. But it wouldn't be much fun if you couldn't do magic at all while you're learning, and what about the," Gryffindors. Poor Gryffindors,"The students that aren't quite as good? They might not even be able to do magic without a wand. And too, think about underage magic, like the stuff when little kids do spells without wands. Its uncontrollable, and usually related to emotional outbursts or danger." Not always, but often. "Your wand helps you be exact, and controlled, and a lot of wandless magic can be exhausting, either physically or mentally depending what form it takes. Our use of wands IS our evolution. Wizardkind didn't always use wands." Paaause. "And that is why you have to take good care of your wand and not leave it lying around. You should get a good holster if you don't have one. Don't keep it in a sleeve or pocket, because you're risking sitting on it or bending it funny. A holster keeps it safe."
But oh! Weren't they just SOOOO good? There really weren't enough points in the worrrrld for good students like these ones! Celandine was still inwardly gushing over the baby!ravies too. Adorbs! Clap clap!

Elliot nodded...listening intently to...this Celandine character..."Thanks. Some food for thought, eh?" she replied with a small smirk, "So...instead of thinking of wands as a clutch or a handicap, we should think of them as something that makes us...better able to channel magic?" Right? Elliot understood now.
And she officially liked the lady...she could get over the cheerfulness..heehee...
If Elliot had to invent...a dance magical spell...she thought...and thought...and thought...smiiiirk. She had just the one! "Elliot's Stupidity Draining Jig..." Jig. Heehee. Sounded like a word Elliot would NEVER use...but she just did! She took a deep breath, then continued, "SO you see, you do some dance moves and then point your hand at the said...'stupid' person...and all the stupidity drains out of them!" If only it really worked. Then she could perhaps make Soapy a passable person to converse with...hmppphhh!

Mmm...too lazy to quote...?
A tree hugger? Cassia wished that she hadn't found out that piece of info. She liked that Cela lady and hated to categorize her in the group of people who LIKE PLANTS. And well, Cassia wanted to know if Cela would still think that way if a plant tried to EAT her when she was young.
What? Plants are like Slytherins?!!? No they are NOT! Cassia wanted to correct the former Ravvie. And if this proves anything ,it proves that Ravenclaws ,even in the past years , were fooled by facts and things while Slytherins always figured out right away what to trust and what not to. Cassia wondered how many Ravvies died inspecting plants not knowing that they are deadly and dangerous and MEAN. Though it's usually the huffies job to die but eagles die too, no?
Anywayzz, pushing aside the difference in opinions Cassia listened to what was said next. Dance magic spell? That's fun to think of. The second-year stopped the stretching her hand fixed under her chin. She was thinking now.
After a while of concentrating and after many students spoke up, Cassia finally raised her hand excitedly, "Cassia casty crunchy candy!" long huh? Well it will require many dancing moves. "That'll be my dance spell and it'll conjure candy!" Though that part was kinda clear.

Gideon continued stretching as the next question was posed to the class, the topic...wandless magic itself and doing magic without use of such a focuser in general. He listened, raising a slight eyebrowand perking up as the mention of Metamorphmagi and Animagin was made since that dealt with him. Sure when he was as good as his parents were and practiced animangi were it was wandless...Gideon had been working with his wand for now to work on getting it all correct until he was more comfortable with the magic.
Other answers were given and Gideon vaguely caught them but soon enough it was time to move. Stretching over obviously, the boy moving obediantly to form a line like Celand--Cela asked them to.Dances...he had no clue, even as his fellow classmates responded with ones that seemingly existed. Guess that left him in the create-yer-own section of the class population. "Perhaps the Flying Monkey..." he mused with a slight shrug. Could be a dance on the ground or on broomstick...right. New broom game right there.

Yes now that is an awesome dance. But the only problem is Nigel is terrible at dancing.
"Ya, How come Batman doesn't dance anymore" Olivia exclaimed excitedly. It was a bit of a rehtorical question. But she remembered that batman used to dance in the early episodes of the series. So she had heard.
Dance magic and wandless magic sounded like the most useful magic Olivia could use. It would be so much funner and sneakier. She imagined herself sneaking up on her opponents, without uttering a word, and casting magic spells.
"Mine is a dance spell that causes the person to loose all their memories. I would call it, Olivia's Obliviation Dance". This would be awesome, because even if she looked stuipd while doing it, the person's memory would be erased, so they wouldn't even know she was there.
[COLOR=#cd00cd]
"Oh that is so cool!" Celandine liked the sound of that and immediately her mind went off with the fairies and the flutterby bushes thinking of the possibilities. One thought brought her back. "But do be careful not to make a plant bloom out of season! Like what if you make one bloom at Christmas when it is supposed to bloom in June! It might wither and die." Sage nod. Even a gift like that could be used for bad things, see?
It waaaass cool and Sophie loved it! "Oh yes, miss, I know that." She had learned it the hard way, heh. Poker face. There were times when her mother would loooose her mind and yell at Sophie for having ruined her flowers. Her plants were like... her other babies. It was almost like they were Sophie's siblings! Eep!
But ooonto the next question! Sophie BEAMED and started thinking about it. She really had never heard of anything alike, so she would just have to make one up. "I like the sound of 'Colours And All That Jazz'!" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Sounded cool! And Colourful! And dancy!

Hmm. Dance magic sounded wicked, that was for sure. Ella loved to dance, mostly in the privacy of her room at home but still...dance was awesome. The third year smiled as she remembered Max catching her dancing during her first term, that was quite funny. She was glad he hadn't teased her or anything. Grin.
Because Ella had never heard of any Dance Magic spells, the badger decided to think of a dance she'd like to use. "I think Ella's Ice Cream Krump has a nice ring to it..." She announced thoughtfully, her head tilted to the side a bit. And when you did the dance perfectly you could make ice cream appear! BEAM. Besides, wasn't krumping like...flailing your body around all over the place? Ella was a PRO at flailing so she could totally do this dance.

That... was a hard one, and Vivi rubbed her bottom lip thoughtfully as she wracked her brain for instances of dance magic. Like Wakefield's Sambata, hmm? Her mother danced in the garden with her plants and in the library with her father, but ew, and Alena danced in the kitchen, but it wasn't magic-making.
Oh, oh! "What about the Flamma-Flamenco, Cel-an-dine?" She stomped her right foot forward and did a little arm flourish over her head with a grin. "My father knew a Potions Master who insisted on lighting his cauldron with it."

"Totally got to be powerful for all that." Nod.

And "Yes! Timeturners are a good example toooo. Lots of bewitched items are used without a wand."
Hmm...
Sierra couldn't decide whether or not she wanted to go and talk with the headmistress abou this. On one hand, it'd be cool to know how to just chop somebody's hair off. On the other hand, though, Sierra wasn't sure if she was tops on the woman's favorites list right now.
Wait...
"Did you say Professor Bun?" she asked. That sounded awfully similar to another last name she knew.

Sierra smirked. She really wanted to make up something called the Smush-a-Puffer, where...well, you know. Those Puffers just wouldn't stand a chance. She also didn't want to share that information with this Cela lady. She had a feeling that with the woman's enthusiasm and love for all of mankind, Sierra would be forced to hug a Puffer by the end of class.
NOPE.
So she sat back and started thinking about a dance that she would actually appreciate. Hmm... "What about Sierra's Phoenix Flames?" she suggested. "It just sounds cool." She shrugged "...but also, I think it'd be neat to dance yourself into some fake flames and then reappear somewhere else." It might be impossible, but it sounded impressive to her.
Aaaand there came the FUN part, and the very reason Louisa insisted on dragging Vickers along. The Ravenclaw girl wasn't that good at dancing but she sure liked to feel graceful and let some energy out, and Merlin knows she had a lot of that.
Vickers stayed silent all the while as the students suggested slash madeup different kinds of magic dancing. Some were funny, some were boring but NONE were about couples. Her mind drifted that way. "Maybe something like Cloud Nine Afloat. Two dancers, special waltzing and poof! They can hover over the ground. Like a powerful anti-gravity charm." Not like, flying. Nope. Louisa doesn't fly. But you know, something magical, not useful like conjuring stuff but magical all the same.

She could do some, of course, but it was just EASIER to not? Like, why would you unless you had to? And if she'd been able to do it when she was their age, maybe she'd not have been kidnapped by that horrible Hogs Head man.
"Well, Goblins less so than Elves, but you're totally right." Nod. Goblins totally needed wands to do what Wizards did, but they didn't to do what THEY did, which was totally different. And made perfect sense. In Celandine's brain.
<snip>
-----------
But oh! Weren't they just SOOOO good? There really weren't enough points in the worrrrld for good students like these ones! Celandine was still inwardly gushing over the baby!ravies too. Adorbs! Clap clap!
"Lets all line up now! Off the wall, wallflowers! Out of the corners! Come stand out here in front of meeee with a bit of space around you so you don't stand on anyone's toes once we get started. I hope you're all warmed up!" Yeah! Enthusiasm!
"Okay SO one of the COOLEST kinds of wandless magic is.... dance magic! A lot of Dance Magic also has some really crazy incantations or rhymes that go along with it. That's the FUNcantations part. Basically what Dance Magic is, is a series of steps, sometimes really complicated, sometimes easier, that are in essence instead of the wand movement. So its like your whooooooole body is the wand." Shaaaake it out. She did jazz hands and a shimmy with great enthusiasm.
"Rain dances, are examples of this! And some of you might have heard of Wakefield's Sambata. That is an example of Dance Magic. And there are a BUNCH more. Can anyone think of any? Has anyone heard of any other particular dances that bring the magic? And if you haven't, what would you like to call a dance magic spell, if you got to make one up? And what would you like it to do?"
ooc: This is where you get to be CREATIVE. Two options here:
1) Make up something like 'Wakefield's Sambata' that supposedly already exists in the Magical World that your charrie has heard of. They don't have to know what it does, or you can make that up too. They definitely shouldn't be able to actually DO it we're just talking about hearing about something in passing. Creative license is fun.
2) Have your charrie think up a name for a dance magic spell. For example, if West was in class he might decide that it'd be cool if there was a spell called 'West's Wombat Hustle' which allows the caster/dancer to conjure up a Wombat.
Wandless, non-verbal magic. The stuff Wizard dreams are made of. Yeah he hasnt even thought that far BUT having the former Ravenclaw Head Girl mention it out loud...
Heck why not, another goal to shoot for eh?
And he nodded his head at the Goblin-magic clarification. He didnt know the finer deets, mostly due to his limited exposures to goblins. Something to work on right?
And here comes the part he was kinda dreading. There was a part of him that kinda wanted to back into the wall when Cela called out the wallflowers and bade them to fall in line. Their whole body was a wand? So that means he's free to be all stiff and just let the magic course through him yeah?
Oh if only he could be so lucky.
But now she's started to speak about Wakefield's Sambata-- which he had never heard of-- and now he has started to break into a nervous sweat. Are they gonna dance now? Wait she was asking them what kind of dance they were likely to invent.
Gosh. He couldnt even do most regular dances much less invent one....
But it is a question and the gears in his head was spinning to come up with an answer "Uhm... the Sebastien's Sway of Solidarity?..." gosh who's Sebastien? He doesnt know but its certainly not him, and S just sounds better than V "... We lock arms and sway to the left and to the right and we bring World Peace. " He is soooo not making any sense.
Gotta find someone who makes sense...
SPOILER!!: Louisa

Sarah had known about a dance. Her grandmother told her about the witchdoctors in Africa and the Shaman of the Khoi-san people who did things that were supossedly magic. Sarah doubted it though. So instead she made up her own dance magic, even though she did know of a real one. "I would make up a dance magic called Sarah's Sunshine Shuffle, it brings out the sunshine... we need it here in Britain". Her mother told her stories of growing up in Sunny South Africa and her grandmother echoed them. In South Africa the weather gives them like a six month summer, two month winter, two month spring and two month autumn! That is so cool! And it only rained in the summer... and it did not just rain... it stormed. But it least it was not cold when it rained. Sarah was sure that the reason why South Africans were so warm, was because of their warm weather, some British people, or most were so cold.. that was probably because they let the coldness of the weather get into their hearts.
"Oh that sounds lovely! And just think how much good it could do for plants and things and people's moods too!" Then everyone would be cheerful like Celandine, yup.

Kat huddled in the middle of the room with the other people in the seminar. Hoping she had warmed up enough, she stood their with her hyper feet listening to Cela. "Well, if there's a rain dance, there must be a sun dance" Good luck.
Cela laughed. "That is great logic." Really it was. She'd guess that it would be more of a no-rain dance than a sun dance though, since sun was more like an absence of bad juju weather than the presence of sun.

"Really? Does that mean that... I could do wandless magic? Me?" Theodore's little face lit up a bit. He nodded some more as Cela talked and talked and talked, and he did kind of understand. "So, you'd use your wand for more powerful spells, and wandless for the little stuff, right?" Like the Bat-Bogey Hex, maybe. Man, he really needed to learn that one.
And if he did it wandlessly, no one would even suspect a thing. Oh, the perks.
Back to the Dance Magic. The second year really had never heard of it before in his life, so he appreciated the opportunity to make up their own example. He stroked his imaginary beard for a moment, to think of his favourite dance move. Yea, he really wasn't the dancer type, so this was difficult.
But, ooooooooh, creative brain wave. Theodore raised his hand.
"Kinsley's Karate Krump." He said thoughtfully, "... which, I have decided, will be used as a defensive spell... putting your opponent into an imaginary head lock." And once they were in a muddle with the headlock, it made it very easy to KAYAHHHHHHHHHH. (Knock them over with your mad skills).
And win.
Is that what Cela meant by Dance Magic?
"You sure could, if you want to learn you could do anything!" And wasn't he just an adorable ambitious little snake? N'aww.
"Ooooh a defensive one! You could use a spell like that to get away from bad people, or in the dueling arena!"

Like, they'd think I'm the only beautiful person on the planet." Abby said, with a dreamy sigh. If that were only possible. Not that THAT wasn't already happening but what if every single person in class threw compliments at her every second of every day? Wouldn't that be ah-ma-zing?
"That would be hard but useful! You'd have to mess with their minds to make them think you're the only beautiful person." Not that Cela was implying otherwise. At least not intentionally. And besides, what use would she have for a spell like that? Still it was... "Creative!"

A jet? One of those muggle things? Cela had a moment of looking a bit puzzled but then she nodded in realisation. "Like an air-up-plane!" Its what it was right? "That's how innovations happen! Creative idea!"

Yes now that is an awesome dance. But the only problem is Nigel is terrible at dancing.
A bat man suit? More puzzlement from Celandine. She was, of course, picturing a giant BAT.
"It would have to be a pretty scary bat!" She said enthusiastically all the same.

What was it that Cela had literally JUST told Kurumi about strange wand movements? Yeah...she needed to think more that way and now how ridiculous she was going to look with her two left feet once they got to dancing.
Wandless magic...remember...you are here because of the wandless magic...
Pausing for a moment to think before raising her hand. "There is the Nobunaga Odori. I am not entirely sure what it does...but I've read that its movements mimic farmings working their fields. It might be related to Earth Magic."
"That sounds interesting!" Celandine was enthusiastic with her nods. "Earth Magic is exciting! Don't you just love growing things?" Of course! Who didn't?

She had actually took her time with her appearance today. Something she hadn't had the peace of mind to do in a long time. She had managed to wrestle her hair into a afro puff on the top of her head. It gave her at least 4 inches in height. Which still wasn't five feet tall, but she was getting there. Her green leggings and silver ribbed tee were clean and wrinkle free. She felt like a newly scrubbed galleon.
Harlow saw Richard and her face burned. 'Stop it', she commanded herself. 'He is so not into you,' she told herself. Obviously by the way he was eyeing the instructor he liked real woman. And Harlow was still eating at the kiddie table. She pulled herself out of her daydream and tried to pay attention to the class.
Well this was a question she could answer. She raised her hand, "My cousin Paris has this dance she calls the Mancatcher Mamba. She says that 90 percent of the time it works every time." Harlow shrugged. She was sure there was something wrong with that math, but judging from the parade of men Paris went through Harlow needed to work on her Arithmancy.
Cela perked up.
Somehow it WAS possible for Celandine Kettleburn to perk up even more.
"Paris Greenwood?" Paris caught men? Celandine wondered why one would want to --they were always underfoot after all-- but nodded all the same. Dancing totally WAS a way to rope them in. Didn't even need to be magic. "Thanks for sharing!" It had a ring to it right? Mancatcher Mamba? She wondered if it would work on a man that had already been caught? As in, her Copernicus of course. Teehee.

Right? Elliot understood now.
And she officially liked the lady...she could get over the cheerfulness..heehee...
If Elliot had to invent...a dance magical spell...she thought...and thought...and thought...smiiiirk. She had just the one! "Elliot's Stupidity Draining Jig..." Jig. Heehee. Sounded like a word Elliot would NEVER use...but she just did! She took a deep breath, then continued, "SO you see, you do some dance moves and then point your hand at the said...'stupid' person...and all the stupidity drains out of them!" If only it really worked. Then she could perhaps make Soapy a passable person to converse with...hmppphhh!
"Yup! Exactly right!" Could she give points for figuring stuff out? Teehee. Cela would count that in the totalling after all the fun stuff was over.
"Oh that would be lovely!" Just think of how many Gryffindors they could help pass their OWLs! Elliot here would do the whole WORLD a favour!

What? Plants are like Slytherins?!!? No they are NOT! Cassia wanted to correct the former Ravvie. And if this proves anything ,it proves that Ravenclaws ,even in the past years , were fooled by facts and things while Slytherins always figured out right away what to trust and what not to. Cassia wondered how many Ravvies died inspecting plants not knowing that they are deadly and dangerous and MEAN. Though it's usually the huffies job to die but eagles die too, no?
Anywayzz, pushing aside the difference in opinions Cassia listened to what was said next. Dance magic spell? That's fun to think of. The second-year stopped the stretching her hand fixed under her chin. She was thinking now.
After a while of concentrating and after many students spoke up, Cassia finally raised her hand excitedly, "Cassia casty crunchy candy!" long huh? Well it will require many dancing moves. "That'll be my dance spell and it'll conjure candy!" Though that part was kinda clear.
"Oh that's my FAVOURITE so far." Celandine winked theatrically. "I used to eat an awful lot of candy." There might even have still been stashes around the castle, if Clifford Carden hadn't found and eaten them all.

Sure when he was as good as his parents were and practiced animangi were it was wandless...Gideon had been working with his wand for now to work on getting it all correct until he was more comfortable with the magic.
Other answers were given and Gideon vaguely caught them but soon enough it was time to move. Stretching over obviously, the boy moving obediantly to form a line like Celand--Cela asked them to.Dances...he had no clue, even as his fellow classmates responded with ones that seemingly existed. Guess that left him in the create-yer-own section of the class population. "Perhaps the Flying Monkey..." he mused with a slight shrug. Could be a dance on the ground or on broomstick...right. New broom game right there.
"There are flying monkeys at the Cryptozoo in Minsk!" Had he seen them? Was that where he got the idea from? She'd taken her children there recently actually. A day at the zoo was always a lot of fun!

Dance magic and wandless magic sounded like the most useful magic Olivia could use. It would be so much funner and sneakier. She imagined herself sneaking up on her opponents, without uttering a word, and casting magic spells.
"Mine is a dance spell that causes the person to loose all their memories. I would call it, Olivia's Obliviation Dance". This would be awesome, because even if she looked stuipd while doing it, the person's memory would be erased, so they wouldn't even know she was there.
"I've never met a Bat Man." Cela said gravely. "But if I ever do, I'll be sure to ask!" Y U NO dance no mo, man who is bat?
The suggested dance perked her up again of course. "It'd be a lot more fun to do than Obliviate, that's for sure!"

Eep!
But ooonto the next question! Sophie BEAMED and started thinking about it. She really had never heard of anything alike, so she would just have to make one up. "I like the sound of 'Colours And All That Jazz'!" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Sounded cool! And Colourful! And dancy!
"Oh good!" Good! Had to be nice to the plants! Only good things came of being nice to plants!
"It sounds festive!" Celandine gave some jazz hands for emphasis.

Because Ella had never heard of any Dance Magic spells, the badger decided to think of a dance she'd like to use. "I think Ella's Ice Cream Krump has a nice ring to it..." She announced thoughtfully, her head tilted to the side a bit. And when you did the dance perfectly you could make ice cream appear! BEAM. Besides, wasn't krumping like...flailing your body around all over the place? Ella was a PRO at flailing so she could totally do this dance.
"Any flavour at all?" MEAT! Barbeque Sausage was Cela's absolute favourite Florean's flavour. She giggled. "Yeah, that one would be fun!"

Awarlesta thought long and hard before coming up with, "AWAR'S AMAZING CONGA!"Maybe that was a little too loud...
"See there are plenty once you start thinking about it!" And Cela gave a thumbs up at the idea for a name. She liked that it had 'amazing' in it.

Oh, oh! "What about the Flamma-Flamenco, Cel-an-dine?" She stomped her right foot forward and did a little arm flourish over her head with a grin. "My father knew a Potions Master who insisted on lighting his cauldron with it."
"Potions Masters can be such characters, can't they?" Cela giggled slightly. She sure knew a few.

Wait...
"Did you say Professor Bun?" she asked. That sounded awfully similar to another last name she knew.
Sierra smirked. She really wanted to make up something called the Smush-a-Puffer, where...well, you know. Those Puffers just wouldn't stand a chance. She also didn't want to share that information with this Cela lady. She had a feeling that with the woman's enthusiasm and love for all of mankind, Sierra would be forced to hug a Puffer by the end of class.
NOPE.
So she sat back and started thinking about a dance that she would actually appreciate. Hmm... "What about Sierra's Phoenix Flames?" she suggested. "It just sounds cool." She shrugged "...but also, I think it'd be neat to dance yourself into some fake flames and then reappear somewhere else." It might be impossible, but it sounded impressive to her.
"Headmistress Truebridge was Professor Bunbury when I was a student." Celandine said with a smile.
She listened to the idea and thought about it. "It DOES sound... cool. Or HOT!" Teehee.

She hopped on her left foot to the left and at the same time clapped her hands in the air above her head, then wiggled her behind and kicked her right leg out in front of her.
"That's the first part. Lets try it together, try to get your hops and kicks as high as possible and clap like you mean it!" Enthusiasm, she had it. Little wonder she'd once been a one girl cheerleading squad for the entire Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Aaaand agaiiiin!
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.

Olvia smiled, dancing would be way more fun then casting the regular obliviation curse!
She listened to the Celea's instructions and wondered how we were supposed to preform the charm without knowing what is was about. What happened to visualization?
Harlow blinked at the instructor. How was it possible she could have turned her smile up another watt? She was going to need sunblock of Ms. Cela's smile burned any brighter. "Yes ma'am. Paris Greenwood. Do you know my cousin?" She asked. She shouldn't be surprised. Paris knew a lot of people and was always the eye of the storm.
Before she could ask Ms. Cela what sort of toothpaste she used the woman was hopping and wiggling around like she was showing them the potty dance that her little sisters did so well. Harlow couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips. Nor could she hid the blush on her cheeks at the behind wiggle.
Harlow hopped on her left foot. She wobbled and face planted into the person in front of her as she did so. She pushed herself off the person and fell back onto her own behind "Oh I'm sorry." she said her face burning.
Harlow was not the graceful swan that her ballerina cousin Willow was. She was more of a writer than a dancer, and this class was going to show it.

Well, at least she likes Candy. That had to make up for the tree-huger impression. And she liked her dance spell, too . The lady has a taste and a good mind for sure. Probably that was for being a Ravenclaw too. The claws were good at thinking. Though they think a lot...anyway.
It was dancing time!
Cassia doesn't like dancing just because it is dancing! She likes it because it involves being careless and hyper. And when you're dancing you shut your brain down and stop thinking. Which actually what Cassia does most of the time, dancing or not.
So squaring her shoulders and getting ready to DANCE. Cassia watched Cela's movements closely. It seemed easy and cool. Cassia hopped on her left foot and clapped above her head. She fought the urge not to giggle because it was so fun. But giggling isn't so appropriate during classes, right? And Cassia knew about manners and politeness.
Then just like Celandine ,Cassia wiggled her back and kicked out her right leg in front of her. Eeeeeep! That was so fun! But what will happen After they repeat them?

Um...well, Elliot watched the woman dancing...and...
She knew...this class was going to be difficult for her. She had NO groove, no dancing skills, and she couldn;t shake her...behind. No. That was NOT happening. There was a reason she was the Morganzo child that played the piano and didn't dance. That was Sam's job! She, however, tried to pay close attention to the moves...Merlin...this was going to be epicly HARD.
She hopped to the right, but clapped her hands a little late...then she wiggled her behind...and kicked out? IT all looked very awkward on Elliot. And her timing was horrendous. Merlin. The spell was going to go all wrong...she just knew it. She would set fire to the castle...maybe she should move closer to the puffs? Set some of them on fire instead...she inched a little closer to Soapy...hmm...this could be fun...
Smiiiirk!

Harlow blinked at the instructor. How was it possible she could have turned her smile up another watt? She was going to need sunblock of Ms. Cela's smile burned any brighter. "Yes ma'am. Paris Greenwood. Do you know my cousin?" She asked. She shouldn't be surprised. Paris knew a lot of people and was always the eye of the storm.
Before she could ask Ms. Cela what sort of toothpaste she used the woman was hopping and wiggling around like she was showing them the potty dance that her little sisters did so well. Harlow couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips. Nor could she hid the blush on her cheeks at the behind wiggle.
Harlow hopped on her left foot. She wobbled and face planted into the person in front of her as she did so. She pushed herself off the person and fell back onto her own behind "Oh I'm sorry." she said her face burning.
Harlow was not the graceful swan that her ballerina cousin Willow was. She was more of a writer than a dancer, and this class was going to show it.
Sophie smiled and clapped as Ms Cela did the jazz hands to her dance thing name. Heh! This woman was coool! She was so hyper and nice! Sophie liked her!
When the older witch turned around, Sophie knew they would get started! YAAAAAAY! The brunette was bouncing while she watched Celandine demonstrating the daance mooves. She was so excited! And now it was their turn!!
Sophie hopped as hiigh as possible on her left foot and clapped, but before she could do anything else, someone bumped into her and actually pushed her fowards! "Gaahhh!!" The badger fell down on her knees and hands and quickly looked back. She didn't know the girl that was apologizing. "It's okay, really!" Sophie said cheerfully as she jumped up and held her hand out to help the girl up. "I'm Sophie!" They didn't know each other yet, did they?

"Okay! I'm going to show you the steps for a spell first, then we'll work on the incantation, and then we'll put it all together and try it out." She tapped her nose. Teehee. "And you'll find out what it does once we get to that point. SO if you're all ready, lets go!" Cela turned around so that her back was to the students, easier to follow that way.
She hopped on her left foot to the left and at the same time clapped her hands in the air above her head, then wiggled her behind and kicked her right leg out in front of her.
"That's the first part. Lets try it together, try to get your hops and kicks as high as possible and clap like you mean it!" Enthusiasm, she had it. Little wonder she'd once been a one girl cheerleading squad for the entire Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Aaaand agaiiiin!
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK. [/COLOR]
Ella nodded enthusiastically, bouncing a bit. "Yes! Any flavour at all!" BEAM. There were just TOO many delicious ice cream flavours out there to limit it to one. ...Though if she had to, it would definitely be Oreo!
...
Oh! So they were going to actually dance now? Brilliant. Ella shook out her arms and legs, loosening up before turning her attention to Cela. The steps wouldn't be too hard, yeah?
Blink.Blink. Ummm...
Ella could do this. She totally could. The third year hopped on her left foot to the left, though when she lifted her hands above her head to clap, she wobbled and fell forwards a bit. UGH. Not cool. Shaking it off, the badger tried again. Standing on her left foot, she hopped to the left and managed to clap above her head. BEAM. Then came the behind wiggling...which Ella was a bit uncomfortable with. She wasn't exactly one to wiggle her behind, especially not in class. She decided to give it a go anyway, though. For educational purposes and all that. So...Ella wiggled her bottom and then kicked her right leg out in front of her, trying to make it go high as Cela had instructed. Hm...now to put it all together.
