Ora laughed at Keith. "You'd like to do an interpretive dance as an example?" She smiled. She loved it when people came with enthusiasm, and students with senses of humour often helped the class be more comfortable, necessary for when dances pushed them beyond their normal experience. "Well, maybe later in the class."
She looked around the room, trying make an account of the students present. "Some new faces," She said, nodding, "Those of you who don't know me, I'm Ora, Or Coralee Corynth, but I'd much rather Ora. I've been teaching here for two years now.
"The dances we will be focusing on this year... We'll be starting with martial ballet forms, then the Mazurka - an updated form of the Basse-danse we learned last year, if you were in my class; then we will progress to the waltz, tango, and Viennese Waltz. We also will be taking this to the rink, and we will be doing ice-dancing, but that will be closer to December."
She clapped her hands. "Alright, some of you have been warming up, everyone now. Onto the floor. I want stretches, keep your knees bent as much as you can. Go."
