Counting Beats

After much procrastination, I IS finally finished the choreography proper for this side project.

I hate choreographing. It is such tedious work, and so much more taxing on the brain than the actual dancing. Hate Math, and I have to count the beats, do the notation and memorize the steps. What a nightmare.

I dance according to mood, emotions and instinct. The rhythm is secondary. Dancers always have the rhythm imbued into their bodies. But if this is a structured dance, then the individual parts would have to be broken down into technical beats.

But it is done. Needed a stiff whisky to sooth charred brain cells.
