•°~★~°•
Lucifer
When it comes to dancing, Lucifer likes the classical dances. His favourites being what you'd find in a ballroom: Waltz, quickstep, and foxtrot to name a few. Standard, almost simple, yet grand.
Lucifer would dance with you in a regal ball and in the privacy of his study; With a flickering fire and cursed record playing in the background. This is where Lucifer finds himself playfully twirling you around.
If you don't know how to dance, he's more than willing to teach you. Lucifer is patient with you unlike when he was when teaching his brothers. It makes them kind of salty. Why wasn't Lucifer like this when he tried teaching them the choreography? You could be stepping on his feet but as long as you apologize, he's reasonably calm and understanding. Do it on purpose and he's punishing you. Take that however you will.
Previously, Lucifer forced all his brothers to learn how to ballroom dance correctly, and he was extremely strict about it. Most of them didn't know the formalities or techniques, and that stressed him out. They'd be attending thousands in the future, and he will not let his family make a mockery of themselves. The brothers say they have night terrors of books on their heads and scolding whenever they hear a very specific melody.
Other than ballroom dancing, Lucifer also favours ballet, although he's never done it. He likes how their steps can be slow and controlled but quick and light the next minute. He understands how hard it is to dance ballet so he respects it. He'll attend professional dances, and will invite you if you wish to attend with him.
Lucifer is very picky with the dancing styles he likes. He hates country dancing and any type of dancing you'll see in a club, as he sees them below him.
Every ball, he has to deal with his brothers. He makes sure they're dancing and representing themselves. But that will not stop him from dancing with you. He asks every party.
"Ah, MC. I was just looking for you. Care to dance?"
Lucifer is smooth and precise. He's been doing this for centuries now. Doesn't matter how unskilled you are at dancing, with him leading, he'll make sure you're doing it correctly. He's a little nervous about the idea of being led, but he'll never admit that. However, if you show him that you're competent and that he can trust you to not make a fool of him, he'll let you lead the dance. Only then will you be able to dip Lucifer.
Mammon
Mammon enjoys dancing. It's energising to him and he's really good at a lot of styles.
He typically only break dances or party dances now, but he was big on tap dancing in the past. He just remembers it being a really popular trend and some humans teaching it to him in the 1920s at a bar. He was cheered on due to how quick he was. Went straight to his ego.
If you ask, the Great Mammon would gladly teach you some dances! He's so giddy at the idea of teaching you that he forgets to mention anything about paying him. He is the most patient brother when it comes to teaching you. Brushing it off if you fall on him or step on his feet.
If you already know how to dance, he'd ask you to enter dance competitions with him. He just wants to spend time with you in this hobby! The cash prize would just be a bonus.
Mammon likes doing a little dance when he's happy. It started as little jazz hands whenever he won at the casino, but it slowly evolved into a really obnoxious victory dance he'd use to taunt his brothers. It soon went to bite him in the ass as now his younger brothers do the same dance to him when they've beat him. He grumbles about how they stole it from him.
Lucifer taught him, like the rest of his brothers, how to waltz and quickstep. Mammon didn't mind it, and actually likes the aesthetic of it. So regal and fancy. So rich. Thought he did mind the days it took of tedious practising and punishments from Lucifer.
Whenever you guys attend a royal ball, Mammon has the motive of asking you to dance but it's Mammon. Never straight to the point. He hints and stalls, but he'll get there eventually. The closer you are with him, the quicker and more confident he is in asking you. If only people would stop stealing you from him. Lucifer.
"Hey. Um. So. The dance has started... I was wonderin' if you'd like to dance? With me, of course! Be glad the Great Mammon is askin' ya! ... So?"
Mammon knows you a lot. It's almost like your souls are synchronized. He never accidentally steps on your feet, it's really controlled. He doesn't mind you leading or him, whichever one you're comfortable with, he's comfortable with. He just likes that he is so close to you. Just you and him.
Leviathan
Idol and anime dances are his go to. Levi learns them all to such perfection, he could be a back-up dancer. He is that one fan that Lady Gaga got onto stage to dance with her.
Leviathan would love it if you learnt the dances with him! But he is very critical. He quickly becomes frustrated at you if you do not do it correctly. You're not spinning right and your legs are in the wrong position! He gets so focused in his otaku-ness, he doesn't realise he is basically scolding you. If you bring it up to him, he feels so bad but at the same time... You should have done it right.
He has a habit of hogging the music room to himself. No one really minds him doing so; it's there for use after all, and it's nice to see him out of his room. What the brothers have issues with is that he'll play the same J-pop song for hours. Fights break out and it ends with Levi going to sulk in his room. However, there was this one time where Satan and Belphie put a hex on the door, locking Levi in, and then left him home alone. They thought it'd be so funny to see his reaction when they came back, but Levi never even noticed. He didn't even realise he was home alone.
Despite his confidence in his dancing while in the house, Leviathan gets so anxious performing in front of strangers. He'll go stiff when starting the dance, slowly stopping and shrinking into his jacket in embarrassment.
Levi doesn't mind ballroom dancing. Makes him feel like a prince from one of his animes. What Levi loathes is going to royal parties that he can't even decline them, as Lucifer won't let him. He hates the formalities, the fact he has to hold hands with someone he barely knows, and the intense eye contact being made by his dance partner. He used to excuse himself and hide in a bathroom stall to play on his phone. Lucifer quickly caught on, to Levi's dismay. He now hides behind you, saying he's too busy talking to his Henry to dance right now.
Would never have the guts to ask you to dance, neither does he really want to in public. Even in private, he'll get a little shy. You'll have to ask him.
"Eh? Me? You want to dance with me...? Um... I really don't want to. Please don't make me... How about back at home?"
And that's what you guys did, in the ambiance of his aquarium. His hands are sweaty, he makes a few mistakes here and there, but it's better than him having a panic attack. He actually prefers it this way. The fact you asked him. He gets to have you all to himself in the sanctuary of his room. Maybe next time, Levi will dance in public so people can see you with him... He's regretting saying no at that moment.
Satan
Satan really likes classical dances, and he learnt how to do most of them. The reason why isn't his thirst for knowledge or enjoyment. The origin of him learning them came from spite.
When Lucifer was trying to teach them how to dance, Satan was getting angry at Lucifer. Furious that he had to take notes from him! This spat spiralled into a one-sided competition. Satan went out of his way to become a better dancer than Lucifer, but no matter how much he practices, Satan never out performs Lucifer's moves. It angered him so much, one ball had to be cancelled as he demolished the hall.
Satan has become more patient over the years, and when you finally meet, he now appreciates the dance for the art. It's the one of the few things he finds himself painfully agreeing with Lucifer on.
Satan will be glad if you show interest in dancing. He starts inviting you to shows, telling you books about dancing, and asks if you'd want him to teach you any. Satan has a high regard for people who have an interest in learning more, especially for the arts.
One of Satan's favourite dances is the Tango. He enjoys the passion, the drive, the fire. Him being a hopeless romantic makes him fall for the dance even more. It's practically the perfect dance for him and he is damn good at it. He'll make your heart skip.
Satan also likes the waltz. They're fun and spontaneous as you never know who your next partner will be as the group turns. How whimsical. Just like the tango, he sees the waltzes in a romantic view. He has read many romance novels with these two dances. It's probably why he likes it so much.
Satan will always ask you to dance with him, like the gentleman he is. He'll hold out his arm for you with a slight bow. A simple question but he always asks it so gently.
"Would you care to dance, MC?"
Satan is smooth and passionate. He'll keeps you close to him, so close that he almost flusters himself. Having you as his partner fills the emptiness with something other than wrath. Why do you affect him so much?
Asmodeus
Asmodeus loves dancing! The music! The parties! It's so fun watching people move their bodies~!
If you'd let him, Asmo would love taking you clubbing, and you better know he is dragging you to that dancefloor! It's chaotic and busy. He's somewhat tipsy and stumbling, but he's just having fun with his favourite human.
Asmodeus used to enjoy flapper dancing. The independent femininity is what dragged him in. Asmo still has the dresses he used to wear. He doesn't do that dance anymore since it was so 1920s, but he has a soft spot for it when he sees it in media.
Being the avatar of lust, Asmo likes pole dancing, although he isn't good at it. He can grind and sway on a pole like a sexy beast, but he lacks the upper-body muscles to do actual pole dancing. He is definitely not jealous that Beel and Solomon are amazing on the pole. Nope... Never.
The only thing Asmo hates about dancing is accidentally breaking a nail or heel. He stops the music and mourns. It's a big reason why he hated when Lucifer forced them to learn how to ball dance. Every time Asmo asked to take a moment to perfect his hair again, Lucifer just turned up the record player. Ugh! Asmo couldn't even think straight, it was so loud!
Doesn't regret learning how, as now he doesn't have to worry about being a fool in front of someone cute. So many people have and will ask him to dance with them. Every ball, there is at least a flock of high-ranking demons trying to court him and he flourished in it... Until he met you. Now he just wants you to ask him. Please ask him! He is ignoring every request for a dance unless it comes from your lips.
"Oh, Hon! I've been waiting for you to ask all night! Please, stop making me wait..."
Asmo is giggling and clingy. He much prefers to be led then be the lead. He can be a little touchy but he's so happy! You asked him... He shouldn't be this happy about a human twirling him but you make his heart swoon.
Beelzebub
Beel is indifferent to most dancing. They're a cool sport but he doesn't get most of them. If he wanted to do cardio, why doesn't he just run on a treadmill then skip across a stage? He doesn't see the art of dance.
Beelzebub has helped the cheer team with their practices a few times, being perfect for lifts. They once did a pyramid with only Beel at the bottom row.
Asmodeus, originally as a joke, got Beel into pole dancing. To everyone's surprised, Beelzebub liked it. He doesn't like it for the lustful things others associate it with, he likes it because it works out all his core muscles at once. Now everyone is less surprised.
Beel hated when Lucifer was forcing them to learn how to dance. He was just so hungry, he couldn't focus and then Lucifer was getting angry at him for it. It was stressing him out.
At balls, Lucifer doesn't even ask him to dance anymore. It's better for him to eat food at the buffet, then getting hungry mid dance and eating his dance partner. Although you make his hunger manageable and the pain go away. He will most likely ask you after he puts the two together.
"I don't normally dance but dancing with you would be fun. Right?"
Beel is hesitant and gentle, like always. He keeps glancing down to make sure he doesn't step on your feet. He's nervous... Then Beel looks at you, and it melts away with his hunger and anxieties. Maybe he is starting to understand why people enjoy dancing.
Belphegor
Belphie dislikes dancing. Too much effort in his mind. The most he'll do is headbanging, and like, he has the hair to do it.
He's the type of person to just move his controller around in Just Dance. It drives Leviathan insane, he hates it so much, and Belphie still ends up getting tired!
Just because Belphegor dislikes dancing, doesn't mean he dislikes watching them. When he was an angel, he'd be in awe of the dances preformed by humans. It was so easy for angels to naturally glide through the sky, yet humans found ways to be just as graceful. They leap into the air with no wings to catch them, yet they fall so elegantly.
He loathed when Lucifer forced them all to learn. He didn't have the energy for any of it, yet Lucifer was persistent. If he fell asleep, Lucifer would scold him. If he tried to hide from it, Lucifer would find him. If he made excuses, Lucifer wouldn't care.
At the ball parties, Belphie slips away when Lucifer is busy with the others. If you follow him, you'll find him in the royal gardens under the stars. When he sees you, he's surprised at first but then gets a fond idea. He doesn't typically ask people to dance, but you're not a typical person to him.
"MC, why are you here? Sorry, I was finding it stuffy... Hey, wanna dance here?"
You can still hear the live band from the halls while Belphie holds you in his arms. He doesn't properly dance, just swaying side to side. And just when he thinks to pull away, he sees your face beaming under the moonlight. Hm, he's actually not that tired on second thought. He thinks he'll keep dancing for a moment longer.
