Quanil was a very good parrot. They did better with words, sounds, and the like, but they could mimic movements reasonably, if you went slow. Miss Melita was doing a good job of doing it step by step for them, so aside from an occasional adjustment (Left foot, not right), they could follow along pretty well.
"Only to the elbow," they said out loud. Saying it and hearing it helped them to remember. And after a couple of tries at it, they grinned. "I like this one. It's... I don't know, is it weird to say it's fun?" They switched sides and did it a couple more times - well, three total if you counted the first one where they had their feet wrong again and had to correct mid-swing, but the two after that were spot-on.
