[Ballet Elite] Rondo of Dreams

"Masumi?" Tsutsumi knocked on the door of the lounge.

"Teacher Di," I turned my head and stood up, "I'm ready."

"How is it? Are you nervous?" Teacher Di asked, smiling to himself, "I forgot, you've already been on stage here."

I laughed, "Even if I have been on stage, I would still be nervous. "Dancing Queen of the Faun" is only a ten-minute short play, but this is a whole dance drama. Moreover, dance fans in New York are picky and enthusiastic. They don't want to be kicked off the stage, so just have to work harder."

"You're making me nervous." Teacher Di laughed.

"I'm a little nervous, so I can maintain my excitement." I shook my finger, "If you're not nervous at all, you're either breaking the pot or you're overconfident to the point of being arrogant."

"Well, indeed, it's okay to be a little nervous, but don't overdo it."

"No." I smiled brightly. Teacher Serkeyev told me a long time ago that the confidence to stand on the world stage without stage fright comes from usual practice.So, teacher, I will not be stage frightened.

In the first scene of "Legend of the Red Line", the girl who traveled through time and space came just to meet you.

A faint affection between two people, a pas de deux full of love.

"Legend of the Red Thread", Act Three, Scene Two, Unforgettable Love.

I once told Rousey that this is a dance for Mr. Serkeyev,

Yes, this is my oath, my confession, never to forget, even if you are thousands of miles away, you must also remember it, not not to go against yourself, but to follow your own heart and be completely yourself.

I danced ballet because of him.

"Legend of the Red Thread" performed five times in New York and was a great success. The newspapers praised this creative ballet with lengthy reports and received rave reviews.

Masumi Masumi, whose reputation as a classical ballet dancer is finally beginning to overshadow as a modern ballet dancer.

The days in New York can be said to have passed by in a flash. After bidding farewell to New York, the next stop is Moscow.

"Larisa!"

"Masumi."

After a firm hug, Larissa looked at my hair interestingly, "You have grown your hair long."

"Yeah, doesn't it smell like a mature woman?" I flicked my hair triumphantly.

She gave me an international blank stare.

I laughed loudly, "Where is Liliana? Why didn't she come to pick me up? Did she have a fever again?"

Larissa's face darkened, "Liliana, she is very bad."

what? !

Liliana didn't have a fever this time, nor was she too tired. The place where Larissa took me to visit her was the hospital.

"Wait a minute." I stopped at the door of the hospital.

"What's wrong?" Larissa was puzzled.

"I'm going to buy something." I pointed to the flower shop in front of the hospital.

Larissa nodded and waited.

I bought flowers that I could barely hold, and when I stepped out of the flower shop, Larissa almost rolled her eyes, "What are you doing?"

I smiled from behind the bouquet, "I'm overwhelmed by the sea of ​​flowers, I think Liliana will like it."

Let Larissa not be busy entering the door, I am going to go in first, to give Liliana a surprise, gently push the door open, I probe, and then, on the spot in a daze.With the heavy snow in Leningrad as the background, the angel sitting on the head of the bed is pale and thin, so transparent that it almost disappears into the air and returns to the sky.

Shaking my head, I put a bright smile on my face, "Surprise!"

Liliana turned her head when she heard the sound, and immediately showed a pleasantly surprised smile, "Masumi, you are here to see me, hurry up and sit down."

"Is it better?" I put a lot of flowers on the bedside cabinet, "I heard that Larissa said you were sick, I was so worried."

"I'm much better," she looked happily at the flowers I sent, "I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up today."

"You just need to recover from your illness," Larissa followed in. "Didn't you say you want to watch "Legend of the Red Thread"? You can't do this now."

I also nodded fiercely, "That's right, Liliana, don't you want to watch me dance?"

"Think!" Liliana wrinkled her nose cutely.

"If you want to see it, get well soon." I smiled and patted her head.

"Okay." Liliana nodded hard.

For a while, laughter filled the entire ward.

Liliana's physical strength no longer allows for a long visit, and Larissa and I just sat down for a while and left.On the way from the hospital to the hotel, the two of us were no longer active around Liliana, and we were much more silent.

After a long time, it was difficult for me to say, "Her body, after all..."

Larissa's exhaled breath was frozen in the cold air of Leningrad, "Doctor, this is probably the last period."

I covered my mouth violently, tears streaming down my face.

"Liliana, she also knows." Larissa looked up at the sky, "She will treat "The Ugly Duckling" one month later as the last performance."

"She, her body..." With such a body, she is still dancing ballet, "What if she is on the stage..."

Larissa looked back at me with a cold look in her eyes, "She has made full preparations, and she has appointed you, Masumi Masumi, as her understudy in "The Ugly Duckling". If you go down, you have to take over from her and continue to jump down."

I shook my head vigorously, "I can't do it, I can't do it." That was Liliana's stage, how could I dance for her at a time like her?

"Even at the cost of her life, she wants to jump. For her, ballet is such a thing that cannot be given up." Larissa's eyes were sharp. "Then what kind of thing is ballet for you?"

I was stunned on the spot, and after a long time, I raised my head and wiped away my tears, "I promise, as Liliana's understudy, if she fails to complete the performance, I, Sheng Masumi, will complete the performance for her!"

"Very good." Larissa smiled sadly, "My opponent, I just like your willingness to wipe away tears and refuse to admit defeat. Liliana also wants to see you finish "The Ugly Duckling" that you couldn't finish before. Bar."

The performance of "Legend of the Red Line" in Moscow is also five performances, because I have skipped Romeo and Juliet here, so I am not unfamiliar with the stage and audience here.

Compared with those in New York who express their likes and dislikes vividly, the audience here is more restrained, but their enthusiasm for ballet and art is definitely among the highest in the world.After all, this is Leningrad, the birthplace of countless great ballerinas of the modern era.

Because of my acquaintance with the Pori Dance Troupe, I met a lot of acquaintances at the welcome banquet in the evening, as well as Mr. Serkeyev.
