Courtly Dance and Defence - Week 5, Period 4

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"So last week we waltzed," Aly said, just as she finished setting up the video equipment.  "This week, we're going to do something a bit less formal but even more fun and salsa."

She pushed play on the DVD and a series of dances started to play.

Once they were done, Aly demonstrated the basic partnered steps of the salsa, letting the class follow along slowly before clapping her hands and switching on some salsa music.  "Throw your hips into it and move with the music," she said with a grin.  "So go ahead and partner up and give this one a try."

Really, she was just amused to see what some of the members of the class would come up with.

[OOC:  omg, I'm sorry for the lateness on this one!  I got called into work on my day off (yay overtime?) but I am back and around now.]

He was slowly getting over his dissatisfaction with the lack of fighting.

Well, not really. But at least he was willing to do this weekly partner dancing thing.

Giselle bounced up to him. "Shall we dance?"

"Seems to be the purpose here," John smiled. "You know how to salsa already?" It was always good to know what he was up against.

"Oh, no," she said with wide eyes. "But I know how to dance."

"Like the dances we've already learned?" John went for clarification.

The salsa was actually one of the dances that Chad knew and felt comfortable with. So now, the only thing is to find a partner...

Cassandra remembered that Chad had been an excellent partner for cooking. Maybe he was for dancing too?

She waved at him to find out.

Chad lifted his hand to wave back but then, almost wincing, remembered that waving was hardly courtly manner. "Hey, Cassandra,"he said, " may I have this dance?"

Ah. Much better.

With a grin Cassandra nodded and held out her hand to him. If he wanted to do formal, she could do formal.

As long as she didn't try to talk.

Andrew wasn't too sure about this salsa thing, so he just kind of stood over to the side and looked at his feet.

Inara smiled as she approached Andrew, bouncing slightly to the music. "Would you mind? I'm unfamiliar with the dance, but it looks like such fun."

Re: Pair Up ...and Dance!

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew smiled back. "Okay," he said, bobbing his head. "And I'll apologize in advance for any toe stepping that might occur."

Talk to Aly...and Dance!

Re: OOC

DUDE, DO YOU MEAN DIRTY DANCING 2? BECAUSE THAT IS LIKE THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. *JUDGES*

Re: OOC

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

OMG SHUT UP! IT IS NOT!

DIEGO LUNA IS FAR TOO CUTE FOR THAT TO BE THE WORST MOVIE EVER!

Re: OOC

[not_in_the_book]

AND THERE IS DANCING AND DIEGO LUNA DANCING AND BEING ALL HOT AND CUTE AND STUFF.

SO not the worst movie ever.

[YMMV. User hotceltogoth may be biased due to fact that Dirty Dancing 2 is a dance movie.]
