So, what is different this week?

As one might expect, the moves are becoming more fluent, steps in time, sequences synchronised, cues on point and so on.

However, other, less immediately obvious things might include the laughter. Put simply there’s more of it; the dancers make each other laugh more, joking, finding things absurd, corpsing and getting the giggles in a run through, trying to stop and then triggering each other off again.

The looks between them have changed too. Unless they are deliberately held as part of the choreography, those little reflexive checks between one another, or between them and the choreographer are shorter, more to the point. Within the choreography, looking has become more purposeful, to the extent even that Tsui-shuang and Alethia have both taken moments today to point out to their dancers, collectively and individually, where and how they want it to happen.
