⠀⠀invictus maneo, I remain unconquered
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ℬ̇allet a𝗍 𝒽ogwarts (1950s)
1 🩰ྀི. ballet is an extracurricular activity offered by Hogwarts, though it is an incredibly elite and exclusive. it is a smaller circle of 20-30 people at one time women usually outnumbering the men.
2 🩰ྀི. they meet 3x weekly after school and on weekends in an abandoned corridor with an old practice room. you need to be explicitly invited or the corridor will not be able to be found.
3 🩰ྀི. there is usually two shows a year, one during winter and one during the spring season. they are either original or famous well known ballets.
4 🩰ྀི. shoes are enchanted to not damage the body physically in any way. many students also create or buy charms to personalize them. (shadow effect while dancing, or sparkles)
5 🩰ྀི. mrs. kotov, the teacher is a strict woman who is difficult to please. she is an immigrant from Russia, so her ballet teaching is quite strict. she is in her early 50s she devotes her life to ballet.
6 🩰ྀི. ballet practices are 1 and a half hours on tuesday and thursday, 2 hours on saturday. the tryouts are the second week of school and go until the end of may, when the spring show concludes.
7 🩰ྀི. usually you are asked to come back after first year, auditions are still held (especially for first years) but it gets more and more selective as the years progress.
8 🩰ྀི. unlike many other clubs like theatre or music, there is no seniority. The skill you present gets you the role, it doesn't matter if the student is in first year or 7th (the ages for hogwarts are changed its late high school to college ages)
9 🩰ྀི. it is a competitive and sometimes hostile environment. while you may meet your best friends there, there is most likely someone waiting to sabotage you as well.
10 🩰ྀི. ballet classes are held at nighttimes, creating a dark and eerie atmosphere which mimics the strange teachings of mrs. kotov.
