Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dianthe took dance as a break from her hard classes, taking time to unwind and get a bit of exercise. She had enjoyed learning all of the basics and knew almost exactly what prop she wanted to use when the assignment had been given. When the day came for her to perform, Dianthe produced a wrap covered in little bells and tinkling coins, wrapping it around her hips and middle, adding matching wristlets and anklets. Her style of dance was a slower one, but required a lot of fluid movements. She glided around her space when the music started, rolling her hips with her arms twisting languidly. The noises her props made went with the track she picked, and she felt her performance time went by faster than when she had practiced. She bowed a little when she was done, removing the accessories before returning to where everyone was sitting for the next student to perform.

Raving was one of Honey's favourite and only past-times, so they had quickly chosen dance as an elective. When the teacher produced a number of props for them to use, Honey eyed them curiously. After a few moments they realised what they wanted wasn't in the pile, and so Honey pulled out a number of glow-sticks they always kept handy in their bag. Tying them together loosely, Honey strolled to the front of the room with a grin. Having arranged the music to be upbeat and bass-heavy, they flicked the lights off and performed a rather unusual light show, the glow-sticks and Honey's body ever-moving in the relatively faint light they put off. The bright colours whirled in the darkness, the after-light left behind them forming flowing shapes burnt into the air.

Eyes gleaming in anticipation, Binhdi had barely waited for the teacher to finish explaining the assignment for the day before heading for the props to root around. And to her utter delight, she found a set of glowing poi buried near the bottom. Seizing them at once, she got them properly into her hands and activated the glow once it was her turn.

Then, after selecting some hard thumping electronica, the tall imp began to dance, the poi tracing patterns of light around her as she moved. Once her dance was over, she was panting, but grinning happily.

"These," she gasped as she held up her prop, "are poi. And they are awesome. Which is why I picked 'em."

Left out was that poi could also be set on fire for even flashier effects. But she'd rather thought the teacher wouldn't appreciate her dance incorporating fire alarms.

CONGRATS EVERYONE! You passed Dance class!

For those wanting to attend Dance in September, please wait until I have posted a new assignment to post! if you post before classes are open with the old assignment, your entry will be ignored. QAQ~

Mai wasn’t really doing all that well at keeping in sync with the other dancers in the class but then again it was her first time dancing ever. Luckily everyone seemed to be trying to match their own steps with the rest of the class and music and weren’t making fun of the fact she was stepping out of sync a lot. However she was having fun and that was the important part.

Amethyst felt so silly, she shouldn't have signed up for this dance class. She attempted to keep up, but she was having a hard time keeping in sync with the other dancers in the class.

Natsumi was very pleased that she hadn't missed many steps dancing with the rest of the class. Dancing was very important to Natsumi and she loved it dearly. She intended to take dance class again, during senior year.

Dancing was Nashira's favorite pastime. She did it to keep her body in shape so she didn't just focus on her mind and studies. She was interested in the steps being taught. When they started, it was easy, slow and smooth movements, it was easy to keep in sync with the other students, but as they had to dance faster and faster, it became harder to keep in step with the others. She did her best, even if by the end she couldn't keep up. Litches just didn't move as quickly as this dance required, but she still had fun.
