I just came back from my private lesson with Hanna (4:30pm-5:15pm). As
expected, I saw Slavik. The excitement is overwhelming...I still can't
breathe. |

发帖数: 213 | 5 It was very nice to see lovely aurae, cfish, Promega, and nightrider.
The show was fabulous! I especially enjoyed watching Slavik, and of course
Arunas & Katusha, was not very impressed by Hanna, though. |

发帖数: 2094 | 8 Yes it was absolutely fun to meet the real persons, except that the music
was too loud to hear cell phone ringers and time was too short to chat. iiuu
is a lovely petite ppmm and cfish is a lovely tall ppmm (in my imagination
it was reversed, hoho)...promega got into gold final...i saw nightrider
looking for seats before the show...
I have to continue my writing on this thread...there is soooo much to
remember. |

, because the show was almost getting ready. there were two rooms for
changing, one for female, and another one for male. Of course, I walked into
the male changing room ( I was changing there before). When I just walked
in, I saw Hanna, first, I was feeling embarrassed, because I thought I might
got into the wrong room, then I saw Slavik in the mirror, he was doing
makeup to his face or something like that, I saw his s |

我知道一堂private lesson is nothing, 但是最有价值的是亲身体会the unique
perspective and inspiration from star dancers， which are going to last long.
而且，我猜， Slavik 和 Hanna 应该在一个studio教课。 按消息来源， 观众在演出
当晚没有机会接近他们， 而他们第二天就离开了。 If I go to the lesson, I can
really SEE them. 或许可以要个签名什么的 （哎，不知道什么时候我变成一个real
fan了）。
You just don’t know how difficult it was to book this single private lesson
with Hanna. 周二我无意中得到组织者的电话号码， 打电话留言， 周三晚意外得到
回电， 只有一堂课available, Friday afternoon 3:30pm-4:15pm, 不教single

一番折腾之后， 我如愿来到了studio。 这个studio还是第一次来。 Front desk 让我
去back ballroom。 我想， slavik 和 Hanna 不会分开房间教课吧。 正想着， back
ballroom里面一个人倒退走到门口， 他似乎感觉到外面有人来 （就是我）， 就转头
望了我一眼。 那就是slavik!
我觉得我是屏住呼吸走进ballroom的， 或者是很轻手轻脚地走进去，反正是尽量不引
进注意, 进去后也不知道自己应该站在哪里(don't know why i behaved like that)。
这时，打过两次电话的组织者看到了我， 很友好地对我笑 “you are at the fan's
club now. They are here. You can walk around. You can watch the coaching."
我很快弄明白， 这次授课可以说是on the private side （not a publicized event)
. 组织者是他们的朋友， book 到private lessons的几乎都是 |

The private lesson focused on chacha, because i feel that is my weak dance.
我想在chacha characterization 上得到更多的启示，Hanna很坦率地说，只有多跳
open choreography 才可以慢慢build up. 于是我们focus on 一些基本figure的
variation。 她强调说， chacha basics are the most important. because they
are the bones of all the advanced variations. 本来课是最主要的， 由于writing
coaching太复杂我就不赘述。 要提的是有那么几次， 她安静地说'good girl'因为我
很快领会到她的意思并且模仿了动作。我受益最大的是，感觉到了weight transfer
and the exact timing of weight transfer in chacha basics， which makes my
chacha mo |

Hanna 接着上课去了。 我才慢慢地从刚才的fever中 calm down。 我竖起耳朵听
Slavik 和 Hanna走来走去地讲课，when it is available to my ears. 我实际上听到
不少valuable points. 比如， brush your thighs in major leg movements of
almost every latin dance. I think What I paid for this single lesson is
totally worth it, as the fringe benefits are huge. Slavik开始教samba。跟很多
其他dancers一样（except hanna)， 他教课教到情急之处， 忍不住提高嗓门， 开始
讲俄语。 我看到了我最想看的cruzado walk! 去年我花了不少于两个月时间在cruzado
walk上，反复纠正动作要领, 不断的improve。 my coach gave me all the
technical points. She at |

发帖数: 2094 | 36 dancer 的身高对我来说总是一个谜。 跟slavik站在一起， 我的眼睛跟他的下巴齐平
， 觉得他高出我许多， 另一方面， hanna跟我差不多个子， 看她跟slavik跳， 又不
见得矮那么多。 我也见过killick， 觉得他很高， hanna跟他也不显太矮。 可能跟穿
鞋有关， 但还是很费解。 |

周五晚， 从private lesson的fever中recover 后， 我给H发了email。 As she
requested, 我发去了那个让她不太高兴的网站 （其实是个自由贴照片的地方）.

我同时表达了对他们的 admiration：
“It was absolutely amazing to see you and Slavik in real person, after
watching a million times your dance clips and instruction videos. This
afternoon, I found it hard to breathe at the studio because the dance energy
that oozed from you and S was overwhelming. I felt it so clearly and

象hand delivering email这种奇怪的事情， 我将来也许不会再做了， 哈哈。 我知道
这种communication只能是one-way. 如果H收到了这个message， 也许会跟S谈起, 他们
也许会感受到fan们的whole-hearted support。 不管他们收到收不到， i had tried
my best to communicate.
故事本来就结束了。 两天后，一个mundane的早上，我email邮箱里赫然出现了H的回信！
Dear aurae,
Thank you for your mail and also for your beautiful words. It really means a
lot to me. I wish you late happy Birthday wishes. I saw your mail too late
to know on the day. We are now in Hong Kong and continue our tour from here
until end of December |

发帖数: 2094 | 41 今天看到他们split的消息，很可惜， 但也许是正确的选择。 我的猜测是: S started
the partnership; H concluded it.
S可能花了很多功夫talking H into the partnership. Just recall that H said "
she is not going to do partnership dancing although her heart is still
dancing" just after her split with V. Then pretty soon, there was rumor that
S&K would dance together. The change of mind has to come from S's
persuasion.
Partnership开始以后， S不可能看不到(even we can see from clips)，不可能感觉
不到H的weakened 状态 (partner 两方对彼此的影响很大， S发挥不开直接原因是H).
但是他希望这个transitio |
