8th Connection :: [Action/Video | Open] Dancing With An Innovade [Morning - Sector 6, Athletic Complex | Action/Video | Open](1)
[Without VEDA to help him compartmentalize his thoughts and emotions, Ribbons welcomed any form of distraction that would come his way -- and he recalled, with a bit of joy, that he had to make further preparations for the dance classes he will be holding. After the Breakfast Meeting at the Education Center, he became aware that he also had to "advertise" the class as it were, and after several days of not addressing the prison -- what with the encounters he had made -- he hesitated some, before making his broadcast.
He then decided to practice -- a double-purpose to find his feet and to dispel nervousness. He can now be found in one of the available rooms that can be used for dancing (mirrors spanning walls with large windows to let in natural light). The three-beat measure of a mid-tempo waltz can be heard from the room, as the Innovade practiced on his own, using a baton to aid in his position, feet gliding effortlessly on the wooden floor. The video feed then switches on at the last few parts of the piece; and once it was finished, he stopped with a flourish, placing the baton by his left leg with a graceful arc, and extended a gracious bow to a make-believe partner -- which might happen to be the viewer.
The video would then show Ribbons' standing reflection in the mirror, and the otherwise empty dance hall with the morning light streaming through the windows from his left. He wasn't wearing anything fancy -- something practical and comfortable as Kitty Pryde had recommended: simple black pants, a nicely fitting white t-shirt and sports shoes.]
Good morning, Marina.
As you may all know, classes in Marina Academy -- headed by Her Royal Highness, Princess Euphemia -- has now commenced and in this light, I would like to introduce myself and my class to inmates old and new: I am Ribbons Almark and I shall be teaching Dance -- dance in itself by starting with the simple but graceful waltz; and "dance" as a social interaction, and a courtesy to one's fellows.
Of course, formal presentations and lectures shall be made on the first day of this class as I do not wish to take much of your time. Today however, I am at your disposition should you have any queries and suggestions. You may also pass by the Athletic Complex in Sector Six -- [The video then patches exact coordinates of his location --] should you wish for a bit of a demonstration. [He then makes a little bow of his head and a smooth and welcoming gesture of his arm towards the hall behind him.] I shall be here til noontime.
I look forward to a rich learning experience with all of you and I wish you all a good day.

[The afternoon had been spent writing letters and cards and deposited at the Marina Post Office and then he all but jogged back to his home, running straight to his room to freshen up, a whirlwind of movement til he settled in the kitchen, getting tea sets, snacks and hot water ready~]
---------- OOC Notes --------- (1) For the record, even males can avail of a demonstration. ;3 Also, Ribbons can also forego the role of the lead, depending on his partner. (2) Open to Jennifer and Hiling :3
