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

Break time was over, apparently, and Vivi returned to her spot near Kurumi in the front of the room. The dance steps were all shades of ridiculous, as was the incantation, but as soon as she saw the spell in action... well, it was hard to argue with those results. The shirt and trousers were daaaaaaaancing. In sync.
As soon as they were given leave to try the spell themselves, Vivi eagerly perused the clothing provided by Celandine. What would be the most challenging? Shoes, likely, because it would be harder to fake correct steps, but seeing a robe or a jumper dance would be much more impressive. She finally selected a pair of dress robes with some nice drape to them.
"If you can get yours to dance and I can get mine to dance, maybe we can get them to dance with each other," Vivi suggested to Kurumi as she returned to her spot and dropped the robes on the floor. She needed the little cheat sheet to get started working out the steps again, and Vivi ran through the dance several times before even considering adding the incantation.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Jory got rid of the cup he was drinking the water in when he heard the next set of instructions. Right. Back to work. Grab footwear or clothing.
The boy headed over to closet and decided on a shirt. He grabbed it and returned to his spot and set it down in front of him. He wasn't sure if he would get this working right...
She could see little Sarah thinking hard over there and she smiled encouragingly. Did she have something to say? No? That was okay.

"Substitutiary Locomotion is magic which allows for things that usually require OTHER things to make them move, to move all the same. In particular, things which usually are moved by people liiiiike...." She went over and opened the cupboard against the wall, a WHOLE lot of robes and shirts and pants and shoes and gloves and all sorts of clothing were within. "Like clothing!"
So now she'd demonstrate, but first; "The better you get at it,the more items you can move at once, together, but when you first try, just choose one item and aim to get it to DANCE!"
She herself stepped away from the closet ready to demonstrate.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...As she began, a shirt 'peeked' out of the closet and was soon tucking itself into a pair of pants, which then 'stepped' out of the closet...
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...It held out a sleeve, and a pair of long ladies gloves took hold of it and followed, along with a lovely flowing dress. They were joined by matching shoes, and the two outfits marched out to a bare patch of floor...
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
....and began to waltz around to the rhythm of Cela's spell.
She went through the steps and the incantation a few more times, expression intent on the 'dancers' while she smiled happily at their antics. They continued to dance, even when she stopped.
"They'll keep going for a little while!"
She faced the students again, bright smile in place while the dancing outfits waltzed behind her. "Okay if you're ready to try, go grab a piece of clothing from the closet! Shoes, a shirt, robes, anything! Just stick with one item though!" She'd been practicing a LOT longer after all.

ooc: If anyone has questions they can ask them, and if they need help come over to Cela and she'll help out, but otherwise this is the fun part woohoo.
Have your charrie go to the closet and choose one item of clothing, and then they can try out the spell steps and the incantation to get it moving.
It mayyy take up to three repeats of the steps to get it moving completely, and I'll leave it up to you to judge how well your items dance (and what kind of dancing is up to you as well if you want your shoes to bust a move on their own thats fine by us)
However, everyone that completes the steps and says the incantation should manage to get their item moving!
There is no minimum or maximum number of posts, just have fun and follow instructions and do as much or as little as you think your charrie is capable of.
Sarah watched in awe as the clothes danced... "I once watched a muggle movie, called Mary Poppins when the toys put themselves away, like the toy soldiers marched themselves into their box... yet it was not to this spell" she said.
Sarah went over to the closet and selected a dress. She then marched over to Cela... she knew it.. but she didn't. She was scared of using the right leg instead of the left leg.

The incantation will make clothes MOVE! Wow. That was really interesting. Cassia first wondered if it was the same as the levitating charm. Makes objects rise up the air and stuff.But she waited to see Cela preform it.
Cassia admired the gracefulness of Cela's moves and watched her closely while she started preforming the dance spell. The second-year's eyes widened in awe watching the piece of clothes get out of the box and DANCE! Yay! That was fun.
The more garments joined the dancing, them more excited Cassia was to try this herself. She wished she could try it on many pieces of clothing like Cela but it obviously required so much practice. So she would stick to one piece as instructed.
And there was music too, good that would be helpful.
The twelve-years old bounced excitedly to the box to grab something. She peered at it and darted her eyes fast till she decided on a long-sleeved shirt. She picked it up and bounced back to where she was standing. Placing it on floor, Cassia automatically reached for a pocket that wasn't there. Hehe. No wand here. She grinned at the thought of preforming a spell without the need of a wand. Which was what this seminar about.
Cassia reviewed the steps in her mind fast because she decided that she had gotten the hang of them. Hopefully. Now she needed to practice the incantation. "Treguna Mekoides...Treguna Mekoides...." She started muttering under her breath. " Trecorum Satis Dee..Trecorum Satis Dee.." Not familiar words but not so hard to say. "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee.." That should do it.
The Slytherin girl stood rocking on the balls of her feet. Now it was dancing time! Making sure she had the space in order not to run into someone, She began.
"Treguna Mekoides..." BREATH "Trecorum Satis Deeee!"
Tap ball and Swwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiing....Jazzzzz hands!
"Treguna Mekoides..Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Step ... sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide thenn..Pivot...aaaand power FIST.
"Treguna Mekoides..Trecorum Satis Dee!" Cassia gasped because now she really was out of breath.Her chest was burning demanding airrr.
Though she was now more concerned to see if the shirt on the floor moved or not.....did it?

Oh, that was an interesting little tid bit of information there. "So...are the majority of the spells we use now were at one point dance magic? Before wants were introduced to wizarding kind perhaps?" Kurumi actually knew nothing about the history of wands outside of what they had done briefly in History of Magic a few terms back.
And GOOD about the not replacing movement. Kurumi really did not fancy the notion of being frozen...again.

Dancing clothing. Right. At least they didn't have to design clothing first and then make it dance. Took one of the more terrifying elements out of the whole activity. Kurumi first walked over to the clothing and selected an plain black robe, not much different from her Gryffindor robes, to start with. Hopefully she could at least get the arms to move or something before the end of the lesson.
Looking up again as Cela demonstrated, Kurumi tapped her hand against her leg to sort of keep the rhythm of the dance and incantation. It didn't seem...all that bad now that she saw it all put together - other than being somewhat exhausting.
So before she got to doing this seriously, Kurumi laid the long sleeve over her shoulder and began to go over the movements slowly, repeating the incantation three times, just as Cela had done in her demonstration.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee...Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee..." Merlin was that sort of hard to say.

Going over the steps again at a ridiculously slow pace, almost as if she were in slow motion, and was somewhere around the third set of steps when Vivi spoke to her. "Sounds like a plan to me," Kurumi grinned, wiggling her fingers in the Ravenclaw's direction as an added sign of approval.
Going over the dance yet again and muttering the spell to herself a few more times, Kurumi decided to give it a go. What was the worst that could happen really? Just the clothing wouldn't move at all, right? Kurumi laid her robes flat on the ground and then stood in front of it, took a deep breath, and then began.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
..........and there was no noticeable change with the robes on the ground.
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! awkward Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
.............again, no noticeable change...maybe one of the sleeves twitched slightly, but one would really have to be paying attention to notice it.
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and awkward power!fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
THIS time, the sleeve did twitch and was a big enough movement that even Kurumi noticed it...but it was hardly anything that the Gryffindor was impressed by. Or, well, maybe she should be? It HAD moved a little...and that was better than no movement at all, right?

Now Sarah had to true say the incantation... Treguna Mekoides... it sounded strange to her ears, neverthe less she went on ..."Trecorum Satis Dee!... then she put it together:"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!, "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!...
Now for the dance, Sarah placed the dress on the ground
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Was it moving... were her eyes decieving her or did the sleeve tap meekly? She must have not seen right... so she went on.. it took one time danicing with no results and then things began happ and finally things began to happen
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
No, she was sure she saw something... that sleeve DEFINATELY tapped and the other sleeve twitched... maybe it would work?
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Now the top half of the dress seemed to sit up, and then like a person waking up in the morning it slumped back down. Sarah sighed... dance already.. do something.. really.
Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good
The shirt moved its arms and could be considered dancing but the second-year wasn't satisfied with this result. Cassia frowned and crossed her arms over her shoulder eyeing the thing. "My grandmother can dance better than this," she said irritated. Well, her grandmother didn't really dance but she needed to make the shirt feel bad. Which was the most stupid thing probably. The slytherin thought of choosing another shirt, one that could dance properly.
But it wasn't really its fault, right? Cassia sighed realizing that it's, with no doubt, her performing that needed to get better. She waited until the shirt stopped moving its arms up and down lamely while it was only a couple of feet off the floor.
Now she shall try again with more concentration on the shirt unlike the previous try when she was concentrating on the dance moves and the incantation.
Ok. Cassia took a deep breath and skipped in her place warming up and then began!
Hop..ClaaP. WIGGLE . KICK and Shuffffffle..pointingg!
"Treguna Mekoides..Trecorum Satis Dee" She said her eyes glued on the shirt.
And the shirt hovered of the floor its arms twitching. A good sign.
Tap ball . Swwwiiiiiiiiing....crazy Jazz hands!
"Treguna Mekoides..Trecorum Satis DEE" Still eyeing the shirt which now started moving its arms in circles.
GASPS and continue.
Step !slide..Pivoooot...aaaand POWER FIST.
"TREGUNA MEKOIDES..TRECORUM SATIS Dee" she uttered excitedly.
And the shirt earned a huge grin and a squeak from the twelve-years old!
The shirt could dance after all. It moved its arms in wide and small circles while it twirled around jumping up and down. Now THAT was dancing. Cassia stood watching her dancing shirt so amused and proud by the thought that she got the thing to mooooove.

catching up, Cela steps n' spells and ze girlfran XD

And JUST when he thought things was about to get easy the next step had to do the tap-swing with the foot thing. Tapping was easy, but as he lifted his leg to swing forward his FOOT caught the back of his other leg and sent this Ravenclaw SPRAWLING towards the floor.
Embarrassing moment number… heck he lost count.
He scrambled back on his feet, but by then they’ve moved to the next part, which was side stepping and sliding. Yeah he can do this-- steeeep and sliiiiiiiide. There see? Easy peasy. And the jazz hands….. what jazz hands?
Last step. He was literally thanking Merlin under his breath. Piiiivoting (in the wrong direction) and POWER FIST!
Yeah! He’s done it!
And there he goes promptly dropping his bum onto the floor.
Huffing and puffing he could only nod his head as thanks when Cela gave them the hand outs. Merlin it looked so simple on paper. He looked up at Louisa when she asked if he wanted water. He nodded but mustered a ”I…I’ll get it for us.” Because it’s the least he could do being such an embarrassment to the ginger Head Girl.
He pushed himself off the floor and hobbled towards the refreshments table, loading a plate with two drinks and several fruit slices before slowly carefully making his way back to where Louisa stood. By that then Cela had started with the incantation and was demonstrating what the spell was for. As he offered the plate to Louisa he once again found himself standing dumbly at the dancing clothes.
Yeah he was never going to get that done is he?
He turned slowly to Louisa, defeat clear on his face ”I… I cant even….” he mumbled as he feebly pointed at the graceful garments ”Maybe if I wore the clothes that you do the spell on then maybe I’ll be able to muster the spell myself.” since he wouldn’t have to worry about the movements, just the intent and the spell. Will that work?

OH! BEAM. So they were going to make objects move with their dancing?! That was wicked! It reminded Ella of one of her favorite movies when she was very little, an old one her Gran loved too. Matilda! In the movie the young girl made all kinds of objects move by dancing around and pointing at them. Ells had always wished she could do that and now...SHE COULD! Bounce.
The third year grinned as she observed Cela demonstrating the spell, laughing as the clothing began to waltz around behind her. Merlin, that was quite cool! Ella totally wanted to master that!
Walking over to the closet, Ella waited her turn and then bent down, picking up a pair of men's dress shoes. They were quite shiny and fancy, just the kind of shoes that one might wear for dancing. Grin. She then returned to her spot, placing the shoes down on the ground in front of her. Right...now for the spell.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
So...nothing was happening yet which made Ella a bit discouraged. She didn't give up though, continuing to concentrate on making the shoes move.
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Hmm...still nothing. Frown. They were meant to do something by now, yeah? Ella bit her lip, trying to focus more specifically on what she wanted them to do. A moon walk! Yeah, that'd be brilliant!
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...Oh! They were wiggling! THEY WERE WIGGLING! Okay so maybe it wasn't moon walking but still! They were moving on their own. This was totally a good sign! BEAM.

Just the clothing wouldn't move at all, right? Kurumi laid her robes flat on the ground and then stood in front of it, took a deep breath, and then began.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
..........and there was no noticeable change with the robes on the ground.
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! awkward Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
.............again, no noticeable change...maybe one of the sleeves twitched slightly, but one would really have to be paying attention to notice it.
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and awkward power!fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
THIS time, the sleeve did twitch and was a big enough movement that even Kurumi noticed it...but it was hardly anything that the Gryffindor was impressed by. Or, well, maybe she should be? It HAD moved a little...and that was better than no movement at all, right?
There, see? Partner in crime. Vivi smiled broadly at Kurumi before turning her attention back to the robes laying on the floor. It was hard to imagine them filled by an invisible magic and dancing along with her, but she tried to picture it.
She resumed the steps again, adding the incantation this time... and picturing the whole time that her robes were going to stand up and dance. Just... stand up. Easy as.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!" Hop!clap wiiiiiiiiggle kick.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!" Shuffle!point tap ball change swiiiing aaaaand jazz hands.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!" Step and slide, pivot and fist pump?
And again. And again.
Finally, Vivi paused with arms akimbo, surveying her robes. Were they moving a bit? Twitching? It appeared that the robes struggled briefly to rise before going flat again, and Vivi reached over to grab Kurumi's arm. DID SHE SEEEEEE THAT?
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
After repeating the incantation a few times, Jory thought he would be able to begin.
HOP.CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.Shuffle!pointing! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Tap!Ball. Swing. "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Step and slide! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Pivot & power fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Thankfully, nothing went wrong with the moves. He wasn't about to fall flat in front of the class. Jory scrutinized the shirt on the floor, hoping it would move even if it were a bit.
Yes! The right side sleeve was doing some sort of a wiggle. But apart from that, the rest of the shirt was still.

Finally, Vivi paused with arms akimbo, surveying her robes. Were they moving a bit? Twitching? It appeared that the robes struggled briefly to rise before going flat again, and Vivi reached over to grab Kurumi's arm. DID SHE SEEEEEE THAT?
Kurumi was in the midst of doing the foot swiiiiiiiiiiinging thing when a hand came out of no where and grabbed her arm, causing the Gryffindor to squeak and jump with surprise - and naturally any movement there may have been with her robes to cease. Not that there really had been anything to begin with really. Maybe it had puffed up a little as if some invisible person were lying down on the floor wearing them though. Progress? Ish!
"KYAA!" she squeaked, glancing at the hand on her arm that was attached too...oh Vivi! "W-W-What!?" Had something blown up!? Wait, there was no smoke and without smoke there couldn't be any fire so they were safe, right?
Kurumi sort of unpeeled Vivi's hand from her arm, stepping a little to the side and turned her attention back to her robe. She probably needed to be a bit...louder? Kurumi had the feeling that she was letting her embarrassment get the best of her and now allowing herself to really 'be the wand.' Right...she needed to be the wand.
Be the wand....be the wand...be the wand...be the wand...
Another deep breath, and an awkward glance towards her Ravenclaw half, Kurumi started over again. She really wanted them to be able to get their robes to dance together.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Puffing! There was definately some puffing of the robes going on!
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
awkward Jazz hands!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Perhaps some mild twitching, but nothing to get too excited about...
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and awkward power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
This time her robes literally sat up, but that was all it did. It just sad up and sort of ruffled in the breeze. Or, well, maybe not in the breeze...but maybe it was ruffling with magic?
"You think I have to repeat all of the dance again?" she whispered, freezing in her power fist position.

"Substitutiary Locomotion is magic which allows for things that usually require OTHER things to make them move, to move all the same. In particular, things which usually are moved by people liiiiike...." She went over and opened the cupboard against the wall, a WHOLE lot of robes and shirts and pants and shoes and gloves and all sorts of clothing were within. "Like clothing!"
So now she'd demonstrate, but first; "The better you get at it,the more items you can move at once, together, but when you first try, just choose one item and aim to get it to DANCE!"
She herself stepped away from the closet ready to demonstrate.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...As she began, a shirt 'peeked' out of the closet and was soon tucking itself into a pair of pants, which then 'stepped' out of the closet...
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
...It held out a sleeve, and a pair of long ladies gloves took hold of it and followed, along with a lovely flowing dress. They were joined by matching shoes, and the two outfits marched out to a bare patch of floor...
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
....and began to waltz around to the rhythm of Cela's spell.
She went through the steps and the incantation a few more times, expression intent on the 'dancers' while she smiled happily at their antics. They continued to dance, even when she stopped.
"They'll keep going for a little while!"
She faced the students again, bright smile in place while the dancing outfits waltzed behind her. "Okay if you're ready to try, go grab a piece of clothing from the closet! Shoes, a shirt, robes, anything! Just stick with one item though!" She'd been practicing a LOT longer after all.
"If you still need help on the steps, come over here and we'll work on those!" She shifted to one side and waved encouragingly at Elliot, and at Harlow, if she didn't feel ready.
"Lets get started! Everyone take an item of clothing from the closet, return to your spot, and put it down in front of you, so you can focus on making it moooooove while you do the spell steps and say the incantation!"
She went ahead and put on some music too, not loud enough to drown out the spells but so that there'd be something rhythmic for the clothing to continue to move to.
[/COLOR]
ooc: If anyone has questions they can ask them, and if they need help come over to Cela and she'll help out, but otherwise this is the fun part woohoo.
Have your charrie go to the closet and choose one item of clothing, and then they can try out the spell steps and the incantation to get it moving.
It mayyy take up to three repeats of the steps to get it moving completely, and I'll leave it up to you to judge how well your items dance (and what kind of dancing is up to you as well if you want your shoes to bust a move on their own thats fine by us)
However, everyone that completes the steps and says the incantation should manage to get their item moving!
There is no minimum or maximum number of posts, just have fun and follow instructions and do as much or as little as you think your charrie is capable of.
Belle heard the professor's instructions. She knew she was going to have trouble following the instructions. But hey she needed to try right??
She went over to the closet and got out a cute t-shirt. She was going to make it dance. She lied it down in front of her. She already saw some of her classmates getting the idea of the spell. Alright let's do the first step.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
The shirt had little air coming out of it. Hmmm that was something better than nothing! At least Belle did the dance steps right. She was getting there!
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
The shirt's arm moved a little bit. It came up and then down. Omg she was getting somewhere! She was doing it! She needed more confidence is all.
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Belle was getting into the music. After she did the power fist, the shirt actually STOOD up. It was trying to dance, but then fell to the floor. Aww man she was so close! Ah well she will do it again, after she got some water....Yeah water would be good right now.

"You think I have to repeat all of the dance again?" she whispered, freezing in her power fist position.
Vivi may have startled Kurumi, but she ignored it in favor of returning her attention to her robes. They had definitely tried to sit up, and that was basically just one really good push up from being on one's feet.
And dancing.
"Hmm?" She glanced at her partner-in-crime and nodded. "Yes, I think you have to keep saying it until something happens or you pass out from exhaustion. Did you have an orange wedge?" Because that would surely keep Kurumi from passing out.
Turning her attention once again to her robes, Vivi nudged them with her toe. Get up get up get up and daaaaaaaaaance.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee."
The robes really did sit up this time, and the arms sort of streeeeeeeetched out above its head like someone just waking up. LOOK LOOK.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee."
They wobbled briefly, and Vivi danced did some fancy!pants jazz hands at the robes to encourage them to keep on trying to get up. Up up UPPP.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee."
Her hoping was especially ecstatic, and if Vivi didn't happen to know that she was being extremely undignified, it was because intellectual curiosity always took precedence over image. Or almost always.
Her robes rose to wobbly and invisible feet and wavered there. "Dance. DANCE."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"Okay, let's try this again,'' Jory muttered, encouraged by his progress even if it was just a wiggle. Who knew, maybe something bigger would happen this time.
HOP.CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.Shuffle!pointing! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Tap!Ball. Swing. "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Step and slide!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Pivot & power fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
He watched anxiously. Yes! More results! Both of the shirt's sleeves flapped for a few seconds before falling flat back onto the floor.

Her hoping was especially ecstatic, and if Vivi didn't happen to know that she was being extremely undignified, it was because intellectual curiosity always took precedence over image. Or almost always.
Her robes rose to wobbly and invisible feet and wavered there. "Dance. DANCE."
Until something happens or you pass out? That was reassuring. At least there was water and orange slices over there.
Attention back on her robes - which were thankfully still sitting upright - Kurumi wiggled her body a little bit to loosen up some more before giving this another go. Maybe she could at least get it to stand up by the end of this?
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Kurumi froze her movements for a moment when she saw the robes wiggle and ruffle some more. That was a good sign, right? The moving and wiggling and stuff?
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
awkward Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Excitement bubbling up inside her, Kurumi ended up saying the incantation a little more loudly than she had intended, but it also was producing the desired effect as the robes lifted up off the ground and floated in the air. Kurumi ended up reaching out with her one arm and poked randomly in Vivi's direction.
Poke poke poke poke! LOOKATIT!
This temporary distraction from what she was doing caused the robes to waver a little and sink back towards the floor. Okay. No more poking for now!
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and awkward power!fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Probably MUCH louder than she need, but Kurumi was a little panicked at the robes melting back towards the floor. Freezing again in her power fist position, Kurumi watched as the robes rose once more and stayed there, suspended in the air and softly swaying back and forth in an awkward dance...BUT IT WAS STILL DANCING.
Which is why she was back to lovingly jabbing Vivi in the side with her finger.

So maybe Ella's first attempt hadn't exactly been impressive but still, those shoes were still wiggling. It wasn't much but it was definitely a start. The third year shook out her hands and looked down at them, focusing on what she wanted to happen. Those shoes were going to dance. They just were. Ella was convinced of it.
Right...and try number two was going to be ten times better. Yup.
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Alright, they were still just wiggling but she had only just started so no reason to panic yet, yeah?
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
O___O Oh! OH! That one! That one on the left. EEP! It was moving more. Like...like it was more noticeable now! YES. YES. YES.
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
And the other one! EEP! They were both moving now and their movement was definitely closer to dancing than twitching this time. Okay...so this was good! She was getting somewhere. BEAM.
Encouraged that there had been some respons Sarah went on, yet it was not until a few times later that she actually began to perfect it
HOP!CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.
Shuffle!pointinggggg!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Now the dress actually began to stand up... it was working and the bottom part of the dress seemed to be dancing in the wind
Tap!Ball. Swwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Jazz hands!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
As Sarah jazzed her hand the arms began to move, in brabra position, just like Sarah had learnt at Ballet... this was awesome.... perhaps it could do a piroette or something
Step and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiide!
Pivot and power!fist!
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
YES IT DID! It twirled on the spot and as it twirled the arms moved to fifth potion, making a dome over the neckline. It was dancing... Sarah finished off the dance and did it gain this time with more energy.. as she finished it she turned nervously to the dress... yes it was still dancing like a carefree maiden in the fields, it leapt through the air, like a prima ballerine on stage. Sarah could not believe it.. t was working.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Feeling a lot more confident now, Jory once again began the dance procedure. He was tired of the dancing ad wished the shirt would just dance already.
HOP.CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.Shuffle!pointing! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Tap!Ball. Swing. "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Step and slide! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Pivot & power fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
The shirt started to move again. Both of the sleeves at first, but then, it started to rise off of the floor. "Keep going,'' the badger muttered. Only half of the shirt rose though while the other half remained on the floor. But the first half was rocking slowly back and forth as if it were doing a slow dance.
lives in a hobbit hole || Ern and Touz's Nuzzle || roflysst || looking at a seed packet
"Looking goooooood everyone! Keep going you're all doing great!" Celandine enthused, watching the progress. "Ten minutes left! So if there are any other questions now is the time to ask them --see if you can get your item dancing by then!"
ooc: This seminar waaas supposed to end on the first, but y'all are busy elsewhere and not many people are posting so I let it go a bit longer. This is the last chance to join in if you haven't yet, and those of you who are dancing about already, your charrie should start managing the spell in your next posts! or not if they're absolutely terrible at magic lol I am going to a funeral, leaving tomorrow, so I'll be wanting to end the seminar in about 14 hours at the outside --if I don't get a chance to post it will be about 24 hours from now that the thread will be closed. So wrap it up loves!

Hoping this would be the last time he would do these moves, Jory started again.
HOP.CLAP. WIGGLE. KICK.Shuffle!pointing! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Tap!Ball. Swing. "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Step and slide! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Pivot & power fist! "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
Slowly, the shirt rose up from the floor. The sleeves first and then the entire thing! Finally! And it began to sway slowly as if it were being ruffled by a gentle breeze.

Which is why she was back to lovingly jabbing Vivi in the side with her finger.
Ouch. OUCH. Why was Kurumi jabbing her with those tiny, sharp fingers? Vivi grabbed the girl's hand, only then noticing that both of the robes were now standing and bobbing along slightly.
OH IF ONLY THEY WOULD DANCE TOGETHER.
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!" Vivi stage-whispered at the robes, doing the first few steps that coincided. Hop!clap wiggle and...
Her robes bowed, and Vivi froze in place, her hands awkwardly splayed. Should she keep going, or could she respond in kind? After a moment of lip-gnawing, it seemed only prudent to be polite, and Vivi straightened from her shuffle!dance to curtsey low in response.
"I'm occupied, actually, but you could dance with Kurumi's robes, please?" She gestured to the other set of robes, and her own wobbled back and forth before bowing again to Vivi, then to Kurumi, then to the other robes.
Elliot took the paper....she glared...at it. As if it had committed some terrible crime against her...it had. It was very NOT understandable...and Elliot was NOT dance savvy...she merely stared and stared and staaaaared at it.
Gulp.
She looked up, horrified...at all of the people dancing...Elliot was terrified at the thought of not being able to do something! HELP! She needed help, badly. She wasn't scared to ask...she tried to...do the whole HOPclap thing...okay...she wiggled her bottom...okay..okay...wigglewigglewiggle...
KIIIICK!
Elliot's kicks were truly awful. Eh. She wasn't very flexible. Tap...she tapped her feet, probably more than one was supposed to...she swung around...OH NO She had forgotten the shuffle point! thing...
GAAAHHHH!
So she went back and shuffled, looking very awkward indeed, and then pointed...redid the two steps after that...and now the hard part...jAzz hands. Merlin. WAH. PIVOT?!?! Elliot didn't get it..."I need...help..." she said, raising her hand.
Elliot hated dancing. It was official.
Presley would never tell Elliot, but this was kind of amusing her. She loved the feeling for once of being amazing at something Elliot struggled with. It was no secret that Presley was a dancer. These simple steps came so easily to her. She didn't even feel like she was working. Elliot, on the other hand, had asked for help. It gave Presley just the slightest hint of an amused grin.
She turned back to the task at hand. "Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee" she repeated, redoing the simple steps. This wasn't so bad. The robes were moving a little bit. That was good. As she kept up, they lifted like there was a person inside of them. Presley began adding her flair to the dance, if you could call it that. The more she threw herself into it, the better the incantation seemed to work, and soon her robes were dancing alongside her. She full on grinned in delight. That had possibly been the easiest task she'd been assigned all year.
Having already made her robes dance, she turned to her friend. "I can help you if you want, Elliot." Just an offer...if she was still struggling.

It mayyy take up to three repeats of the steps to get it moving completely, and I'll leave it up to you to judge how well your items dance (and what kind of dancing is up to you as well if you want your shoes to bust a move on their own thats fine by us)
However, everyone that completes the steps and says the incantation should manage to get their item moving!
There is no minimum or maximum number of posts, just have fun and follow instructions and do as much or as little as you think your charrie is capable of.
The whole time Cela was talking, Sierra just kept wondering why they'd need this spell. What would you want your clothes to dance for? She guessed this was just the basics, though, and once a person learned this, there was probably a whole lot more they could do. For now, though, clothes it was.
She stepped toward the closet and randomly reached for a pair of pants. She carried the pants to an area that wasn't already crowded with other kids and placed them on the floor. She stared down at them, trying to focusing on them standing up, spinning around, and doing high kicks. Crazy, but true.
...and then Sierra began to dance.
*hop, clap, wiiiiiigle, kick, shuffle, POINT*
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
*tap, ball, swiiiiing, JAZZ HANDS*
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
*step, slide, pivot, power!fist*
"Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!"
At first, nothing seemed to happen, but then her pants began to do a few short steps f the same type wave she'd seen the fans do at Quidditch matches. Granted, the pants stayed on the floor and didn't stay moving for long, but it was a start, at least.

"Okay everyone! We're out of time now!" They only had two hours, unfortunately, even if Cela could totes go at it all day. She clapped her hands. "There isn't going to be any homework, but if you get the chance I totes recommend popping into the library and taking a look at the books about the hidden magical side of Disney. It gives you a whole new perspective! And if you didn't manage the spell today, you'll get it if you work hard enough at it, and you can keep those handouts too of course!" She beamed all around. "It was super nice to meet you all! Help yourselves to some more refreshments on your way out!"
ooc: I'm closing the thread but if anyone has any follow up questions feel free to PM me.
