The Professor catches the beauty cast by the Mycologist's both nature of preparation and is momentarily transfixed. Then, with a swift motion, a long reptilian tail makes itself known from the clothes covering it and gets closer to the Mycologist's legs, not touching yet.
"Of course, dear. Let me guide you in position..." The starting pose is already known. The Mycologist's hand on the Professor's hip, the Professor's hand on the Mycologist's shoulder, and the remaining hands of both joined in the middle, at shoulder height.
"The basic dance involves three steps, and a stop, that's a cycle. It can be in the same place or moving, sideways or forwards then back. We'll start without moving. You move your left foot forwards and I do with my right backwards, first step." The Professor does the mirrored step slowly, allowing the Mycologist to follow. "Return to starting position, second step." Demonstration again. "Then I do my left forwards and your right backwards, third step." Guiding him again. "And during the fourth, whatever you want as long as you don't move your position. You can do a kick" kicks "or tap the floor." taps. "Maybe a spin?" Doesn't, but leaves the chance open. The plan is getting creative. And that finishes a cycle."
"The key, though, are the hips..." This time they gently hold the Mycologist's hips showing how the swaying should go. "Like this, with each step, trying to keep the music's rythm, see?" They're doing the same, but mirrored, their tail emphasizing the swaying. "There, ready for a basic cycle?"
OOC(And here I am, digging my mind for the first lessons. It's been a fun exercise though!)
