#751 Thoughts of halfway through
We're taking a break from Monday rehearsals. 5 weeks came and went. I finally got to take it all in. Couldn't help but smile watching the work-in-progress come together in a complete 5.14 min piece. It wasn't neat, counts, directions, 韵, it is undeniably an unpolished piece.
Their faces though... they weren't worried about people watching, it wasn't like watching them dance even a year ago. Beyond the occasional panic of doing the wrong action, of forgetting the counts, were faces of indulgence. They were dancing for themselves. Isn't that what it is supposed to be all about?
Forget about 扣ing the dance to perfect synchrony (and that's a lot for me. My friends know my tendencies), I just hope that in the remaining practices, these girls find a little lightness, a little peace, a little respite from this world. That would be enough for me.
