3 Days Before Leaving for the States

I still keep dancing lolz: )))



I love watching Max and Beata dancing together. Max is an extremely lovely and creative dancer, but he never let his natural charisma or his inspiring creative moves and groundbreaking interpretation of timing to shadows his partner (of course it's also because Beata is great). He is very concerned with his partner and tries his best to show his partner, but even though his attempt to put the spot light to Beata, his dance is so noticeably amusing, entertaining and energetic with some little kicks from other types of dancing that the audience praise them as a couple, but not as "Yulia and her partner Maksim".
Beata's grounded basic allows her to extend and perform her unique feminine softness and nymph-like agility. She obviously enjoys working with Maksim a lot as you can see from this film-- her face shows not only the excitement of interpreting the cute, flirting music but also the happiness to dance with him. I guess they are my favorite Latin couple after Slavic and Karina.

A weird person like me

I heard from Mo and Fernando that, including themselves, many guys on the team are now looking for a partner to dance with next semester. It's both surprising and not at the same time because one, things change like flipping your palm and two, this is how the collegiate ballroom team system works. The more things seem to change, the more things to stay, and vice versa.
Somehow when they asked me to dance with them and try each other out, I did not feel excited-- I should have jumped high into the sky to possibly have a partner, and that was what I was wishing for a long time. However, after a painful struggling with the notion of "no partner, no team tryout" for almost four months, I gradually changed my mind from worrying about being on the team to just appreciating every moment of me being on my feet and dancing, alone or accompanied. Somehow it does not hurt me anymore to not be able to be on the team; somehow to drill on my own and basics makes me happier, although in order to advance I need a partner.

Somehow I don't feel happiness when I get what I want.

I just hope I can be so much better before I return to America and before I pair up with a guy. But that is somehow a self-conscious, arrogant and impractical idea.


I am just so happy being able to dance.
