Ballet for Beginners; First Period [01/18].
Okay. So Rosa might have to begrudgingly admit that there was actually one benefit to being forced into teaching this class this semester: she didn't have to put hardly any effort into actually thinking of interesting class idea, because it was all following a basic progression and somehow, miraculously, none of the students really seemed all that bored or sick of it yet.
...not that she'd care if they were.
"Okay," she said, over this week's selection of symphonic metal, "this week, we're going to move away from the barre and try some basic techniques at the center of the floor. Still a lot of the basic stuff, but it's important to get them down, but there will at least be a few new steps that we'll be developing further next week."
Rosa barely managed to hold back a slight curl of her lip for how gross and professional and teacher-like that sounded. Seriously. What the hell?
"So warm up today's going to include the usual stretches and some of the barre work from last week, then we'll bring it to the center, I'll over the new steps, and we'll hit that center work. You know the drill."
It was seriously the most simple basic stuff in the world. If you didn't know what to expect by now, then there was no hope for you.

...but those were thoughts for another time, as he wanted to give the steps his undivided attention. Especially when there were all those extra bends and the barre-less pliés that would demand his focus so he didn't just go staggering out of position for lack of balance.
