[jcs] SIX HOUR dance rehearsal today. SIX HOURS. And what's more, it was all stylized fight-dance stuff, with different categories of moves in different orders, offense, defense, etc. I'm dead.
Luke Skywanker
Lots of rolling and tumbling and kicking omg
ąʀïą
Hope you found those kneepads.
Luke Skywanker
I did!
Luke Skywanker
Found some volleyball ones that worked great!
Luke Skywanker
Couldn't feel a thing.
ąʀïą
Good work!
Luke Skywanker
OK how did I strain something in my arm by doing a roll over my shoulder?
Luke Skywanker
I was trying to figure out whether it was more comfortable to cheat over my right or left and I went left and my arm is killing me.
ąʀïą
Tricep?
Luke Skywanker
yeah, think so
Luke Skywanker
Probably trying to protect my neck or something and moved it funny
ąʀïą
I was going to say you might have positioned it funny.
Luke Skywanker
Yeah I'm not all that coordinated sometimes, and I'm also often fearful
Luke Skywanker
It probably doesn't help
ąʀïą
Rolling over shoulders is awkward anyway trying to put your head right, let alone arms.
Luke Skywanker
Yeah. She had us practice a LOT of things I'd never done, but not for very long, so i feel like I had no chance to get them down. Oh well, there's time
Luke Skywanker
I would LIKE to know how to do all that dancy-fighty Buffy shit
Luke Skywanker
But whenever anyone tries to teach stuff it's all "ok do this" and I have no idea what I'm doing and I haven't spent the last 30 years tumbling so...
ąʀïą
You should add a tumbling class at a gym. They give-- aha. Sorry.
ąʀïą
They do give good basics, though.
ąʀïą
I added one, and it made a HUGE difference to contemporary routines.
Luke Skywanker
I need to get some dance training, too. But yeah.
Luke Skywanker
With acting, tumbling would probably be just as useful.
ąʀïą
It is. It teaches you how to hold your body in a completely different way.
Luke Skywanker
yeah
Luke Skywanker
So the way we're doing the overture to JCS is pretty cool. Rebels slinking out, Romans coming, in and a skirmish during the vamp
Luke Skywanker
With four different groups doing ABCD choreography (both offense and defense) in different orders.
ąʀïą
Nice!
Luke Skywanker
I think it'll look good! If we can get it down fast enough
ąʀïą
Practice, practice, practice. >_<
