Chapter 151: Contact Improvisation
After dinner, Shaida had done all the work she was supposed to do, and planned to go to the practice room to practice for a while. The practice room of Fantasia's house, in addition to being cleaned by her, is also used by her casually. At first, I felt a little uneasy, but gradually I got acquainted with it, so I took the time to practice with peace of mind.
After all, Fantasia has put so much effort into her, and what he wants to see most should be her progress.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the practice room, I found that Vantaxia was already wearing a practice uniform and pressing her legs in the practice room.
He rarely chooses this time to practice, usually in the morning or late afternoon, and today seems to be very special. Seeing Xia Yida coming in, he asked lightly: "Coming?" It was as if he was waiting for her.
How did he know that she would come at this time?
Fantasia didn't explain anything, just motioned for her to warm up and turned on the stereo herself.
A beautiful melody fills the room in an instant.
"Today, I'm going to take you through some basic practice, about pas de deux."
Regarding the pas de deux, I have learned a lot of basic concepts from Kai today, and I know that this time, it is completely different from the last time I danced with Angela, and it is even more different from the imitation dance with Konstantin. This time, it was a pas de deux with lifts and physical contact, unlike before, where there was almost no relationship between each other's bodies.
This kind of dance section has high requirements for the cooperation and tacit understanding of both parties. And at this point, Shaida has no experience at all.
Surprisingly, her dance partner, Kay Evanstan, admits that he doesn't have much experience either.
Although it is not that he has never practiced, it is not that he has never danced, but he rarely sets foot in the field of pas de deux, but prefers to climb to the top in terms of showing his personal ability, just like Konstantin and Gilgamesh in the past.
However, this is also an important reason why he gladly accepted to escort Shaida at any cost - through the next month of training, he could learn a pas de deux composed by Gray Fantacia and officially exist as a mentor of Fantaxia.
It can be said that Kai's performance plays a pivotal role in Shaida's performance, and even for Shaida's results.
Kai seems to have an extraordinary curiosity and desire to explore Vantaxia's "pas de deux".
"Have you ever danced as a pas de deux before?" Shaida was equally curious.
Fantacia raised an eyebrow.
"Any unknown territory can be explored, as long as there is basic knowledge and essentials. Didn't you skip it and try it this time? ”
Shaida stuck out her tongue. Although I still don't understand, is this talking about her or himself? Is this question answered?
Of course, it's impossible not to try! And Shaida also understands what this "assistant acting rule" means to her on the basis of the current situation. For her, the pas de deux is not a new frontier, but a rescue from heaven.
After the warm-up, under the guidance of Fantacia, along with the music, the two of them began a very strange practice.
Vantasia asked Shaida not to think about dance routines and anything else that needed to be memorized, but to just follow the rhythm of the music and dance at will. In the dance, the bodies of two people make contact at will, and through contact, they try to capture the characteristics of the center of gravity and the flow of energy transmitted by each other's bodies.
Shaida had never done such an exercise before, and she was extremely embarrassed at first. When his limbs came into contact with Vantacia's body, he could clearly feel the temperature of his body, and the strange touch caused his heartbeat and breathing to be disturbed, so that he instinctively dodged backwards when he detected his contact.
After two attempts, Fantasia stopped.
"What's the matter with you?" He asked, frowning.
Shaida didn't know how to answer, if she told the real reason, she felt that she couldn't even get over this hurdle.
Fantasia had given her rest time to guide her and help her out of her predicament, but she was always full of distractions, which was simply unbelievable!
But even if he knew it in his heart, his body didn't listen to the command at all, and he would instinctively avoid him, avoiding the strange feeling that made his heartbeat worse.
"It's not the same when you dance in pairs," says Gray, "and all the movements are based on the partner's body messages and how well they understand each other. Do this training so that you can better capture the communication of other people's body messages. When practicing, make sure to try to empty yourself, otherwise, you will miss out on a lot and may not feel anything. ”
It turned out that it was to lay the foundation for the dance section that was about to start training. Xia Yida blushed unconsciously, she had distracting thoughts just now, and sure enough, she didn't feel anything, she just cared about her flustered.
But sometimes I really can't control myself - after all, the other party is a young man, and besides, he is such a good-looking young man, and now, he wants such physical contact......
"Now, you focus on the position of the center of gravity after contact, find the intersection of forces, and maintain the balance of the center of gravity in the best possible condition. It's not an easy task, don't get cranky. Gray reminded.
Shaida answered, and quickly gathered her thoughts, trying to immerse herself in the feeling of each contact.
Vantacia says that the method works, and if you try to capture the center of gravity of each contact, it's easy to concentrate, because it's really difficult. If you can't find it, you will feel unsteady and shaky on your feet. Several times, it was in the case of the loss of the center of gravity, and it was fished back by Vantacia in time.
Such difficulties immediately ignited the desire to challenge in Shaida's heart, and she quickly threw all her distractions out of the clouds, and began to concentrate on the feeling of contact. Soon, those random physical contacts have gradually become better, and the other party's body and movement habits gradually began to be a little bit familiar.
That's what it means!
Shaida suddenly realized in the movement that this is to cultivate the awareness and feeling in the pas de deux, and to find the best way to cooperate!
The dance performed by two people together is, to a certain extent, like walking a thin tightrope together, if you don't have a tacit understanding, there will be all kinds of situations, and even embarrassing situations such as throwing your dance partner to the ground.
And Fantacia is really a very good dance partner, and there is a strong sense of trust in dancing with him - because he can see everything, everything, is under his control.
It's just that Shaida didn't know that this kind of practice was not familiar to Gray himself, but it was also a fairly new experience.
