Dance- Monday- 2nd period

[throughaphase]

Kitty had sent an email to the class to let them know to come to the Danger Shop for class, and to dress in comfortable clothing that they could move in. When they got there they'd find Kitty in workout clothes and standing in what looked like a moderately sized dance studio. There were mirrors and a barre and everything.

"Hey, guys. Welcome to Dance," she greeted them. "For those who don't know me, my name's Kitty Pryde, and I've been dancing for what feels like forever. My personal favorites are ballet and modern dance, which are things we'll be covering, but we're doing to be learning the basics of those and other types of dance through this session. You're not going to be an expert in any one thing by the end, but that likely wasn't going to happen in seven weeks anyway, and if you ever want some extra time or pointers, I'm more than happy to help you out there. Just let me know. So we're going to be meeting in here, and make sure to dress in something you can move in. Things like jeans are restricting, so stick to clothes that you'd wear to the gym. And if there are ever shoes or anything required, they'll be Danger Shop-provided, so no worries there. Otherwise just make sure your feet are comfy.

"It's the first week, so we're going to take it a little easier. I want you to go around the room and tell me who you are and if there's a particular dance you want to learn. Once we've done that, we're going to work on stretching so it doesn't take forever to get through at the beginning of next week. All right, who wants to go first?"

Stretching

"With that over, we're going to learn some stretches that we're going to do at the start of every week. We get through this, that makes it faster to get through next time. Stretching helps a lot with agility and flexibility, and if you're afraid you're going to look like a giraffe having a seizure doing a dance, this might help there," Kitty said.

And then she got to showing them a few stretches, so you know. If you wanted to look around at your fellow students or try to get some talking done, this was the time.

After more than a decade of gymnastics, Kathy was no stranger to stretching. The moves Ms. Pryde put them through were comforting and familiar, which meant Kathy's attention was free to wander to her other classmates, hoping to spot a familiar face or two.

Alana had to prop herself up on her elbows for a few floor stretches so the pressure wouldn't bother her wings, but other than that she felt like she was doing a good job. It was even kind of fun.

Rapunzel could do this really easily, all things considered. She didn't have to twirl or anything, which was what usually tripped her up, both figuratively and literally.

On her shoulder, Pascal also went through the motions, since it was one of the few activities she'd taken up that he also enjoyed.
