Conny Janssen Danst

Wow, oh my goodness..... the first week at conny is over... the musclepain is to the max... It cant go worse... I almost cant type this message.. the musclepain is everywhere, believe it or not, its also in my fingers!

Its amazing!!! it was a great first week... very hard, but its worth it! its totally different work than scapino, this is so much more physical..... so much more animal-moving!!!!!!!! its raw, elegant, controlled and wide at the same time.... (and to be honest this is a very difficult combination for me...)
we are with 8 dancers in total, 4 male, 4 female. the people are very nice and they treat me as one of them, as a dancer. its very nice... In scapino I had more the feeling I was a 'stagiere', and just to be there for experience. and with conny Im working as much as the other professionals.. Im treated as one of them and that feels good. It makes me feel more confident and mature about everything, about my dance, about what I can give to the piece.

the second day we already started with partneringwork, it was so hard and it made me quit uncomfortable. I felt I really lacked partnering technique, I felt really sorry for the guy (martijn kappers) who had to lift me over and over again.. I was really heavy, because I didnt know how to do the lifts and didnt had the coordiantion to do the liftst...... aaahhhhhrrrrgggg!
but when we did it a couple of times throughout the week, it went easier. It was also good, because he is a supernice guy, an amazing partner and very strong, and I really could talk to him when something felt wrong. He was open to commicate and we tried it together.

im gonna write more later, kiss
