fandomhigh | Sneaky Spycraft: Period 4, Week 2

Carrying a bag full of what looked like heavy objects, Aly made her way into the classroom just as class started. "Hey guys, change of plans. If you all would follow me down to the Danger Shop?"

She led the class down to the Danger Shop and pushed open the door. The room was outfitted like a dance studio. Mirrors, barre, sprung floor, and all. Aly waited at the door to make sure every student got in, and none escaped once they saw what was in the room.

Shutting the door behind her, Aly made her way to the center of the room. "Right. This wasn't the original plan, but then the dancing on Saturday made me reconsider. In this class, we're going to start with the most basic techniques and hopefully progress steadily towards the more complex over the course of the term. And today, we're going to start with the most basic of all. Movement."

"Controlled movement, complete control over each muscle is necessary to move silently, to climb well, to fight, to keep your hands steady," she grinned quickly. "You get my drift, right? It just so happens that one of the best way to work on movement control is through dancing." And now Aly looked even more amused. "So, that's what we're going to do today."

Aly raised an eyebrow at Teddy. "Want to come up and help me?" It wasn't really a question and soon Aly was reminding Teddy just to follow her lead. They demonstrated a trio of dances that, while simple, relying on paired movement and working with your partner, not against him or her.

After the demonstration, she turned back to the class. "There you are. Pair up, give it a try. If there are any questions, feel free to ask." Aly grinned. "And before anyone asks, yes, there are a number of other ways to train your muscles to control movement. Martial arts is one, tai chi is one, simple repetition of movement until it's in muscle memory is one. But I like dancing. And you all should know how to dance anyway," she teased.

[OOC: This class is totally all

mouthy_merc's fault for telling me Teddy needed some embarrassment. She also gave permission for Teddy!modding of the not dirty fashion. ~~Please to be waiting for~~ the OOC is up, my friends.]

"Some people are clumsy," Jenny said. "And then some people are whiners."

And Luke could be both depending on the situation.

He shrugged. "You get to be with a pretty girl for a while. I see no downside."

"Well, when the pretty girl beats you with her handbag for stepping on her feet..." Not that Jenny would ever do that, oh, no.

"I won't step on your feet," he promised, totally asking for the dramatic irony gods to smite him.

"You're doin' just fine so far," Jenny assured him. "Besides, I didn't come dressed for dancing, so my feet are protected." Stepping on someone's feet while they were wearing steel-toed boots was much less problematic than when they were wearing stilettos that already hurt their feet.

"Those seem much more practical," he admitted, giving her feet a glance.

"They're also not very pretty. It's a trade-off." One Jenny was perfectly willing to make.

Luke looked down at his own scuffed boots. "It's a trade-off I'm totally okay with."
