"Thank you." Junebug said sincerely. "But it's nothing much." She and Bio also started eating and soon finished with their grape juice.

Broly and Twilight also finished their lunch and talked a little as they waited for the time to pass. Broly put the Drink and Dressing back in the fridge and started cleaning the dishes. "We should be headed out soon to the dance studio. We want to give ourselves enough time to enjoy ourselves and still make it to our dinner dates." Broly stated as he worked. Twilight was layign on the couch now, reading the same book that had her interest the trip thus far.

"Yeah." Bio said standing up and almost knocked his chair over. "It should be relaxing going out to dance, right?" "I'll just get something the throw over me." Junebug said. "I don't want the sea breeze to ruin my mane and tail." She said and headed to her room. She came back wearing a light silk cape.

"Oh yes. And this is a multi genre dance studio so we'll get a chance to do square dancing, slow dancing, freestyle, anything you want. The DJ there takes requests." Broly explained as he laid dishes out to dry on a towel beside the sink.

"That sounds wonderful." Junebug said. "We haven't danced in a long time." "Then we better get going to loosen up our dancing shoes." Bio said waiting at the door.

Twilight put her book away and both her and Broly walked up to Bio at the door, "I think you'll be the only one wearing shoes." Broly said with a laugh. Twilight looked over to Junebug, "No need to worry about your mane. I've got a spell that'll revert it backl to looking good no matter hat. That's why I'm ok with going dancing between salon and dinner. Well, shall we go?"

"Thanks Twilight." Junebug said as she waited for Bio outside. "The better to cut a rug with." Bio joined in laughing.

The four were ready and hailed a Taxi cab which took them all the way to the dance studio which was pretty popular even for a friday afternoon. Broly helped Twilight off the cart and they stood waiting for Bio and June to join them.
OOC: Figured we could jump ahead a bit.

Bio and June got off their own cart and joined Twilight and Broly. "There's a lot of ponies here." Bio noticed. "Hope I'm not too rusty." "You'll do fine." Junebug told him. "You're hot-blooded remember." "If I use that they may think I'm showing off." Bio grinned.

"In the words of the ever wiser granny smith, 'quite your gawking and move your kaboos.'" Broly said with a smile and headed inside. Twilight followed after laughing at Broly's impersonation of Granny Smith.

"We're moving! We're moving!" Bio said following Broly inside. "So uh? Where do we start?" He asked looking over the studio with all the ponies busy dancing.

Belly stood next to Bio, "Well this is just a warm up area. You can sorta do your own thing here and the music is of a wide variety. After your feeling loose you go downstairs via the elevator and the entire basement splits into four rooms from there. Each room caters to a specific type of dance. Namely, country, ballroom, Club/party, and international respectively. I figure we could do whatever up here then go ballroom dancing for a bit before maybe hitting Club or international. What do you guys think?" Belly explained while Twilight watched the dancers from behind the glass.

"Sheesh! This place is pretty intense." Bio said. "A training area? Four rooms for learning in the basement? I never new dancing was so big in Baltimare." "Let's get warmed up alright?" Junebug said pulling Bio to the dance floor. "We don't want to miss dinner." "Yes!" Bio agreed following after her. "We have to be on time for dinner."

Broly laughed as Bio was carried off but before long he too was being pulled onto the dance floor. They picked a spot relatively close to where Bio and June were and a new song started. It was upbeat and a little catchy and it wasn't soon after that the other ponies in the room really started to get into the groove of things. Broly and Twilight bounced in place as they got a feel for the song and slowly started to get into it themselves, letting loose as 'twere.

Bio and June started slowly and then picked up as they got more comfortable. They mostly mimicked the other ponies as best they could and after two more songs decided to take a break. They walked off the dance floor and got some water from a cooler. ooc: I have no idea how Bio and June is suppose to dance. In fact, I have no idea how ponies are suppose to do some of these dances.

OOC: Well mystery magical cure and the canterlot wedding episodes are good points of reference. IT goes to show that they can dance on all fours or on their hind legs depending on the dance. Sadly, both Twi and Broly freestyle like she does at her birthday party in canterlot. However, they rebound by doing exceptional at dances with instructions like ballroom dancing and other things. To answer your question, ponies probably shift from two to four hoof dancing throughout a dance as needed to do whatever move they need to at the time.
BIC: Twilight and Broly noticed Bio an June leave the stage and Twilight was getting tired herself so they left to join them. "I think we're good on this floor. We should try one of the downstairs rooms now, no?" Twilight said as Broly left to get them water.

ooc: I was talking about how they dance together, although I remember now that Apple Family Reunion also had a lot of ponies dancing with each other. Still doesn't help with Bio and June though. "Sounds like a good idea." Bio said finishing his water. "I'd like to try out ballroom dancing." Junebug said. "I've always wanted to do that."

Twilight looked over to Broly as he came up, "Looks like we're going ballroom dancing next. Thanks," she thanked him as she took the water and continued, "If memory serves, we haven't slow danced since the wedding. I think we're long overdue." "Ballroom doesn't mean slowdance but sure, I do owe you a real dance. Let's be on our way then." Broly said finishing a quick cup of his own water and throwing it in the trashcan right outside the elevator. IT opened up right then to let some ponies off and Broly got inside, holding the door for Twilight and the other couple to get on. Twilight got on and sat close beside Broly. OOC: Least I don't have that problem My character isn't twice as tall as Twilight even when she's on her hind legs they're practically the same hight, if I'm not a little taller and a tad filled in by comparison.

Bio and Junebug followed onto the elevator. "Wasn't that the last we slow danced?" June asked Bio. "I think that was the last time we danced." Bio answered awkwardly.

Fromy let the elevator close and pushed the button and it quickly took them downstairs. The doors opened and a couple breathless ponies covered in sweat were standing on the other side. Broly was first off as he held the door open for the comign and going traffic, "Seems you guys really got into the music." "Yeah, that and the A/C broke in the club room. It's like a dancing sahara desert in there." one of the ponies replied with a laugh as they got into the elevator. "Is the ballroom dancing room still ok?" "I would imagine so. Each room has it's on A/C unit andI think only the Club room one failed." "Kool, thanks." "Sure thing, enjoy the dancing." The pony said and Twilght had gotten off the elevator mid conversation.

Bio and June followed them off the elevator. "Club sure sounds interesting now." Bio commented. "If not for tonight I wouldn't have minded getting really sweaty and washing off in the ocean." June just bumped Bio with a roll of her eyes as she headed for the ballroom class and Bio went after her with a laugh.

The four entered the Ballroom room and Broly stepped forward, "Alright, let me explain how it goes. The stage is split in half." he said pointing out a white tape from one side to the other along the middle of the floor. "On one side the instructors will teach you any dance. On the other, it's open for any ballroom dance you want. Me and Twilight will be going straight to that side." He said holding out his arm and Twilight took it. "Which will you be going to?"

"We'll go to the side with the instructors." Bio said. "We could probably use a few tips." He and June moved over to that side.

"We'll see you in a bit then." Broyl said when HE and Twilight stopped at the edge of the mat. The song that was playing was coming to a close and they waited for the next one to start.
The song ended and there was a little break to let the ponies shift on and off the dance floor before the next song started. During this time Twilight and Broly walked over to the floor standing just away from the center. I slow intro to the next song began atan even tempo and Broly put his hoof out to Twilight. Standing right across from his she put her hoof on his and the two stood up on their hind legs. Twilight put a hoof on Broly's shoulder, which rested right behind his neck, and he in turn put a hoof on her waist right above her flank. The intro started to fade as the real music built and began. Twilight and Broly were looking into each others eyes and right on time they began to dance in step. In their heads they started counting off to get used to the beat and speed, 'And one and two and the and four and one and two...' they counted in their heads, though they never broke eye contact. Eventually, the counting stopped and for a moment they dance and only knew of themselves. To them it was like thye were the only people there and the music was playing just for them. Broly pulled Twilight a little closer as they danced so that their bellies almost touched and they continued to dance like this for a while.
OOC: This is just the first part. They'll continue dancing for at least one more post, possibly two, and then we'll move on. Just wanted to give you a chance to post Bio and June.
P.S. Have you ever Ballroom dances before? Just out of curiosity.

ooc: Have I ever ballroom danced before, he asks. I've never danced before, like ever, even something like Twilight's dance. I am a big fan of Strictly Ballroom and Dancing with the Stars though and used to watch it regularly. June and Bio had an instructor with them that would now and again comment on how they were dancing or point out a miner detail they should fix, but for the most part they were laughing as they danced with each other, keeping a good pace with the rhythm and not making many mistakes.

OOC: My mom used to watch So You Think You Can Dance and I've taken a single Ballroom dance class with the singles at the church one time as a little singles eventbut besides about two school dances in Middle School I have never danced formally or informally. Even when the church holds a dance party, unless it's one of those "tell you what to do" type dances like the Cha Cha Slide or Love Slide or some other slide then I was the lone wolf bobbing my head with a drink in my hand in the back of the room. My brain however is a powerful simulation computer and can replay many scenarios simultaniously while only changing a few factors at a time to see what the outcome will be and thus far it's proven quite accurate so I just thought to myself how would I feel ballroom dancing with someone I loved and was married to and then replayed it in my head a couple times before I found a scenario I liked. I'm wierd like that BIC: Twilight and Broly had been doing the traditional and rather plain dance for a bit and Broly started to work in more spins and other fancy moves like spins, twists, uneven steps and breaking from looking at each other without loosing step. The song's even adn steady tempo controlled their movements and they enjoyed each others company all the same.

ooc: That's not weird, it's interesting. I do alright trying to imagine how Junebug (or any of the characters) would feel like and act from their point of view. But for the dancing I'd rather leave Bio and June to the imagination because I'm still having trouble imagining how they'd dance without inventing a whole new kind of dance. Bio and June had finished their dance and was watching the other two as they danced with each other. When the music started to end June and Bio clapped their hooves and hands for the beautiful performance.

OOC: I think the only real problem is that Bio is literally twice as tall as June Unless he dances on his knees it would be like dancing with a 10 year old girl which would look halarious given the cercumstances. BIC: Broly was distracted for but a moment by the clapping but that's all it took. His leg crossed between hers and the two came tumbling down. Broly managed to twist so she fell on top of him but they laughed non the less. It took them a moment to regain their composure and get back up. When they did they made their way to Bio and June, still giggling a little bit, "Hehe, you guys have fun?" Broly asked with a smile.

"You know it." Twilight said putting a hoof over Brolys shoulder for support as she now realized how out of breath she was. "So where to next? International gives a bit more flexibility and the club might be fixed but I doubt it. I don't much care for country dancing but I'll put up with it if you two want to go." She added turning her attention to June and Bio.
