WHO: Yuuri and anybody who signed up for Zumba! (it's okay to handwave/offscreen that your character signed up!)
WHERE: Dance!!! Studio
WHEN: Backdated to Saturday morning on the 18th
WHAT: ZUMBA!!!
WARNINGS: None, but will update if necessary



The class will start with Yuuri giving a short introduction on Zumba, what the format of the class will be like, and letting everyone briefly introduce themselves (tell us your name and something about you we should know). After that comes the warm-up and then the real fun starts! Music will be playing loud, and everyone will be moving a lot, but that doesn't mean conversations can't happen (it's just not a very smart choice). Also, Yuuri will be demonstrating both low and high impact versions of the same steps so everyone can work at their own pace. If you get tired, it's totally okay to take a break or just stay in place marching! This is a no-judgment zone.

Since this is the first class, the steps will be easy to follow, so everyone can start getting the hang of things little by little.

Overall there will be around 10-12 songs, including both warm-up and cool-down (and alternating with high and low intensity). There'll also be lots of clapping and cheering after every song and at the end of the class.

tl;dr: It's going to be fun, noisy, and high energy. This is meant as a general Zumba mingle, so feel free to have prompts at any point before, during, or even after the class.

Spy princess involves gadgets and weapons about half the time; I prefer to work with my own hands, so it's a a possibility but one I'd have to work with.

Superheroine... yes, that would be interesting. Either wholesome or hilarious, too - either I'd have to go totally serious or straight to comedy. I don't think I could handle anywhere in between without cracking up. But then I'd have to have powers, and I'm not sure how much Mama would want to animate them. [A beat.] Or she'd give me something really crazy just because. Either or.

I think serious with a hint of comedy is kind of good, though? Even if in-between might be hard. Like, if we're talkin' about shows we enjoy, all too much of one thing is kind of a drag after a while, isn't it?

[ wait. ]

Your ma does animation?

[rosettareflected]

A hint might be okay. Going back and forth is kind of tiring, though, aside from needing a few minutes to stop laughing at how terrible I'm being.

Oh, Mama does editing. We'd have someone else to do the animation work, but it'd probably be her figuring out where everything goes and how to bring it in... maybe. [She doesn't pretend to understand where the special-effects decisions are made.]

[parodeity]

Oh, neat, so it's like...an entire cinema magic family? Editing is pretty neat, though. I think I might want to go into...something.

[ he's working on it... ]

[rosettareflected]

Something like that! I still have to come up with my own magic, but I'm getting there. Let me know if you ever decide that's your calling - I think we could see about trying to shake something loose. Mama has enough work that we could probably see about an internship...?

[There's a note in her voice that suggests this is tentative, but that she's voicing it at all is notable.]

[parodeity]

I wouldn't say no if that could ever be a thing. Right now, I'm definitely leanin' to directin' or special effects. Maybe I'll try to learn about both more and see what I can do, you know? Special effects and sound is like...well, it'd be somethin' new to do every time.
