Dance the night away. The Beacon Dance is a dance hosted by Beacon Academy as part of the upcoming Vytal Festival. For reasons unknown only to you, you don't have a date... But all is not lost, for your night is still salvageable, and you have plenty of opportunities to dance with a partner! Can you even dance?! Weiss Schnee is sadly sitting by herself, after her date stood her up. Pyrrha is idly watching everyone else enjoy themselves, forlornly wishing she had a partner to dance with. Penny is cutely dancing by herself, as a pair of Atlesian soldiers guard her. Ruby and Jaune are standing at the punch bowl, neither of them have dates. Blake and Yang are dancing together. Ruby Rose is naive, energetic, and socially. She is a friend. For the dance, Ruby wears a short, red, sleeveless dress with a thick black sash around the waist and black trim along the bottom. The bodice of the dress is split vertically to the sash and laced with black lacing. The yoke of the dress is transparent mesh with an opaque collar and hem, as well as opaque lines connecting the collar to her shoulders. She also wears black stockings and pumps. Blake Belladonna is aloof and reserved. She is a friend. At the dance, Blake wears a short, purple, asymmetrical, halter neck dress that is split up the right side and has a black collar. Translucent black mesh covers her shoulders, decolletage and back, and decorative black swirls cover the left side of the dress and continue up the left strap. The outfit is completed with black pumps, and she wears a teal bow on her head as opposed to her usual black one. Weiss Schnee is haughty, arrogant, and heiress of the SDC. She is a friend.
