She laughs brightly at the joke, but quickly falls silent as she does her best to pick up the new dances. The first is easy for her. Between the ballroom dances she's learned in the Nexus and the more formal dancing from her own world, the steps feel all but familiar by the time they've run through the pattern once. Amelia smiles as she follows Thor's lead, her eyes focused always on her partner save for those few moments they part for turns or passes through other couples.
It's the second dance that truly challenges the rogue. For all she's learned from people like Harley, letting loose while she's dancing is something Amelia struggles with. She appreciates the steady beat, but her body and feet inevitably fall into patterns that don't match up with the energy of the dance. She pushes through her discomfort, but her entire body is tense by the time the music and dance end. She hides it with a slight exaggerated breaths and a warm smile, but her posture is a little too good for someone whose body language suggests she's tired from the dancing.
"The two dances are so different from each other," she comments, breathless more from her anxiety than the dancing. "I'll have to practice them both before Yule comes so I don't look too out of place."
