Rehearsal

Dancers spend most of their day in class, then rehearsal going over and over and over, over the same steps and other steps building up a route of movements only sometime to be told “forget that I want this step instead……………………on this count and with this beat of music.” “Oh………………………… ok………………….. From, which bit of the dance????????????? “

“Oh, that bit, after the jump in the air after the first 16 counts.”

That’s how they become one with each other and link with the music. Everything is in balance with its counterpart. So all the audience can see is the whole creation the choreographer is putting / bringing together. Dancers have to remember all details and then forget them. So it all can become one, to show the tale to be danced.
