fandomhigh | So You Say You Want a Revolution: Week 7, Period 3

Aly waited outside the door to the Danger Shop until the class was assembled. Once they were, she pushed open the door, revealing a room 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 I realised Homecoming was this weekend. And if there's anything I want to impart, it's the need to always, always be prepared for anything. When you're planning a revolution of any type, you have to pay attention to the basics before anything else. 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 Nico. "Want to come up and help me?" It wasn't really a question and soon Aly was reminding Nico 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. "Your homework this weekend? Dance with someone at Homecoming. And try to enjoy it."

[OOC: Seriously. It' the week before Homecoming. This had to happen. Nico modded with permission because obviously Hades' kid needs some embarrassment.]

"So, should I let you take the lead, or would that be improper?" Because Jason was the king of propriety, of course.

Karla looked horribly shocked, really. "Me? Be improper? Just what kind of female do you think I am?" she gasped.

She was so going to lead.

"A smart and strong one?" Jason said. Just because he didn't know how to dance, that didn't mean he was totally clueless.

"See? I knew I liked you for a reason," Karla said, laughing a bit. She reached for his hands. "You go for the good compliments."

Jason took Karla's hands and followed her, grinning. "I figure knowing what to say makes up for not knowing how to move," he said.

"So, what you're saying is that when you know both, you're going to be unstoppable?" Karla teased. "Good to know that ahead of time."

"Would it be reassuring if I promise to only use my powers for good?" Jason teased in return.

"I'd have to carefully review what your definition of good would include," Karla said, moving into a simple four-step pattern. "I could see you being tricksy about that."
