[Ballet Elite] Rondo of Dreams

? Teacher Serkeyev listened to me, opened the door and beckoned me to go in, "Come in first."

"Ah, thank you." I hurriedly wiped away the tears on my face.

Teacher Serkeyev turned on the projector, "No matter what the shortcomings are, as long as you are determined to overcome them, the road will open naturally. Look at this picture," he released a basic picture, "The external rotation is performed by the joints at the top of the thigh. The feet are all turned outward, and all ballet movements start from here. It seems a simple movement, but in order to dance noble and gracefully with this natural posture that violates the human body, the natural laws of the human body must be overthrown, and long-term training and Change the hands and feet from their original positions. You have not done this well. Not only have you failed to do it well, but you have learned a higher technique with the wrong posture. This is like stacking boxes. The middle one is crooked, but you still continue Just like stacking, no matter how small the inclination is, it will collapse one day. Just like drawing, if you don’t have a good sketch, you will stop drawing halfway. The foundation is indeed very boring and time-consuming Training, but if you can’t do it well, you won’t be able to make progress no matter how others guide you.” Teacher Serkeyev looked at me seriously, “Understood? Since you want to learn from me, you must correct it thoroughly! "(1)

There is no shortcut to practice the basics, just like the teacher said, only work harder than others.

During this exercise, the Ballet Association announced a major news that they will select three of our students to participate in the Moscow performance of the Japan Ballet.

Song - "Sleeping Beauty".

"Sleeping Beauty" is a ballet composed by Tchaikovsky and adapted from the original work of Charlene Bello.

Premiered in 1890.It is a gorgeous and gorgeous dance drama.

"Sleeping Beauty, that's great," I brushed my hair, "Yuka, what role do you want to cast?"

"Of course dancing is the best! Princess Aurora!" Yuka was always confident, "How about you, Masumi?"

"I... haven't made up my mind yet..." I really want to dance Princess Aurora, but I just started to correct the basic training... Will Mr. Serkeyev feel that I am overwhelmed?

In class the next day, Teacher Serkeyev distributed the paper to us, "The role to dance for you has not been decided yet, so you should choose the role that suits you and work hard. Princess Aurora is fine, and Prince Chaming is also fine." Okay, write down the role you want to dance on this piece of paper, and compete with those who want to dance the same role."

I took the paper and hesitated a lot.After a while, I held the pen, Masumi, what are you hesitating about? If you want to dance, then go for it.Only through the competition can you see your own shortcomings and promote your growth. Since I had no experience at the time and dared to enter the Japanese Ballet Competition, now I am just the protagonist of "Sleeping Beauty"!come on!

Choose different roles, and you will be guided by different teachers. Yuka and I suddenly had a lot of luck, and we were all guided by Mr. Serkeyev.

But even if it is the same role, the teacher's guidance method is completely different. Yuka soon started from basic training to dance skills.I was so envious that I was drooling, and I was taught to dance by Teacher Serkeyev...

It's a pity that Teacher Serkeyev only glanced over, and I immediately turned my head to restrain my expression, and started the basic training with a straight and serious face!

Although it's good that Teacher Serkeyev is strict, but in the common class, he said that this student can't jump and directly passed me, which is too, too hurtful.

But, but... just looking at his expressionless face, I don't have the slightest thought of resisting.

Woohoo, I still feel terrible!

I practice in class during the day and still practice after class at night. My energy is exhausted very quickly, and I almost fall asleep as soon as I touch the bed.In such a busy schedule, time flies, and in two or three days it will be Princess Aurora's first selection.

"Mr. Serkeyev, please, please help me to see." After getting along for this period of time, I was finally able to stop shaking so much when I knocked on the door.

"Okay." Teacher Serkeyev put down the book and followed me to the practice room, "Let's begin."

After doing a series of basic movements, I was out of breath and looked at him expectantly, "Teacher..."

Teacher Serkeyev did not comment on my movement just now, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture, "External rotation movement can also be said to be an outward art, and the same is true for human palms. If you open your palms upward , which means freshness, warmth, gentleness and happiness. Similarly, the complexion, eyes, hands, and back are all changed from a restrained state to an open state, and the body should be used to express the character's feelings. Do you understand?"

"I seem to understand." I frowned, using body language to express the character?

"Then do it again!"

"...Yes..." As expected of a teacher, come again, come again, come again, come again...

After class the next day, Yuka didn't rush to leave, "Masumi, you go first, I have to practice again."

"Oh, okay, then watch the time and don't miss the meal." It is very important to eat in the cafeteria.

"I see."

I hadn't gone far after I packed up my things, when I suddenly found that I didn't take my dancing shoes, and I tapped myself on the head in embarrassment, "How careless."

Going back with a smirk, turning a corner, I saw Yuka stopping Mr. Serkeyev, "Mr. Serkeyev, I have something to ask you. Why, do you want to give Masumi special training? Compete for Princess Aurora under the conditions!"

Teacher Serkeyev stopped in his tracks, and said calmly, "I don't remember...I forbade you to practice at night." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yuga to say anything, he turned around and waved, "Princess Aurora The selection day is almost here."

Seeing this, I dodged subconsciously.

Covering my chest with my hands, my heart beats a little faster, teacher...

"Now, let's start the selection of Princess Aurora. Today, Aluan Yuka and Sheng Masumi will perform the solo dance of the first act."

From that day on, Yuka's attitude towards me changed a lot.Yuka, who has always been taking care of me, now has faint dissatisfaction in her eyes every time she sees me, and now, her eyes seem to be burning.

"Yaluan Yujia will start dancing first."

Following the announcement, Yuka walked to the middle of the training ground and began the solo dance of the first act.

She just started the first few movements, and I was so scared that my heart skipped a beat.

This is... Princess Aurora? !

I have never seen such a passionate Princess Aurora, so intense...

No, not right!

Not so with Princess Aurora!

Although I still don't know what my current state is and what the results of the basic training are, I know that the teacher said that actions should be used to express the characters' feelings.Princess Aurora, a sweet, warm and innocent girl surrounded by flowers and fairies, is a 16-year-old girl who is dreaming the most beautiful dream about love.

Close your eyes, the nose seems to be lingering with the smell of lilac, stretch your hands and feet, and your ears seem to be surrounded by the whispers of goblins, every movement, every expression, carries a touch of warmth and happiness, a princess who is dreaming ...

The body seems to be much lighter, and the hands and feet can move freely, which is completely different from the feeling when dancing before.

I finally stopped with the last note. Although I was a little tired, my heart was indescribably relaxed. It was finally over and I had done my best.

All that's left is to wait for the results.
