The Dance Floor

---

The Great Hall had been transformed into a beautiful space, ready for romance. Beneath a canopy of floating candles and starlight, you could lose yourself in the music. From elegant waltzes to lively jazz, the floor is open for friends, first loves, crushes, significant others, and the hopelessly hopeful. No experience required, but "fancy footwork" is highly encouraged.

The stone floor had been replaced with a black and white checkered tile, adding a touch of fun to the room. Large bouquets of flowers were everywhere, adding a floral scent that wafted through the air. Small lightning bugs buzzed around the flowers, making the plants twinkle with lights. Surrounded by the scent of fresh flowers and the glow of hundreds of floating candles, the atmosphere is perfectly primed for a good time.

On a platform at the back of the Great Hall, the live band stood above the crowd for all to see. There was a mix of popular tunes, classic instrumentals and lively jazz on rotation throughout the night. Whether you’re looking for a slow, magical waltz with a date or a high-energy swing with your housemates, this is where the fun begins. Just remember: keep it classy, keep it moving, and keep a respectable distance: The chaperons are watching!

Tilly getting the dance floor for this year's Prefect Event was honestly laughable. Truly, she didn’t resonate with any of the spots since she was without love on this valentines day. No Boyfriend to speak of.

Unless her Granny got her way, but the 30 year old Greek restaurateur still made her queasy.

No Thanks.

Setting up the area was easy, getting the band situated was fine. Logistically, everything was good. Jazz music played in the background while students began milling around the area. Tilly talked to the band about what kinds of songs they should play. He looked at her quizzically when she said to keep it fast, upbeat, maybe some loud rock music. Really, anything to keep some distance between the dancers. If she didn’t have love she was going to make it hard for everyone else.

Yes. She was bitter.

He patted Tilly on the shoulder and said he would handle it from there. Probably for the best, he was the professional.

Arms crossed in front of her, Tilly glared at the couples as they made their way around the dance floor. Not many choosing to let loose just yet. The 5th year lion had chosen a black dress, to match her mood. Hair down long and styled straight with soft waves. She looked beautiful, but the angry expression on her face was a clear sign that she wasn’t having a good time.

As she walked around the dance floor a few more people had stopped to dance, wait…. TO A SLOW SONG. How had the band director slipped that in? Ugh.

Walking up to a couple who had ZERO space between them Tilly pushed them apart a good ten inches and said in a very stern voice. “Leave room for Jesus! Don’t MAKE me come back here.”

Pointing her middle and pointer fingers at her eyes, set in a glare, she then pointed them back at the couple. “I’ll be watching you.”

Don't let Tilly detour you from having fun. She will calm down soon. Especially if someone slips her a calming draft. Jk... Maybe. Feel free to be the couple she scolds. HAVE FUN!"
