On the fourth day of the project, I was sent to dance, although no, it is better to write Dances - the dance studio teachers were Ira Krasnaya and Elizaveta Druzhinina (Yegor Druzhinina's sister, founder of the studio) - bright participants in the Dances show on TNT channel and a bunch of talented and professional choreographers … If you know these names, you will understand my delight, but if not, just imagine young people with burning eyes and a dream in their hearts, who have created a small cozy studio and are doing what they love.

Even the interior is kind of girly and cute - you come in - and you want to smile and forget about the gray autumn outside.

The atmosphere in the Svobodnaya Plastika dance studio is surprisingly warm and friendly. Even the interior is kind of girly and cute - you come in - and you want to smile and forget about the gray autumn outside. I was informed that there would be dances the day before, but what specific lesson was in question, I found out already in the studio itself. The editors chose the JazzModern lesson for me.

JazzModern dance is a trend in modern stage choreography that combines ballet elements and free dance. The main characteristic feature of the style is perfect freedom of movement. The main principle is independence from strict forms in technique, music and performances. Various artistic and technical techniques are adopted and mixed, in accordance with the dance fashion and the relevance of the style.

In fact, this is energy in its purest form, drive and unreal feelings of freedom and emancipation.

But this is all dry and scientific. In fact, this is energy in its purest form, drive and unreal feelings of freedom and emancipation. Of course, I was afraid how everything would go. Dancing is clearly not my strong point - the last time I somehow rhythmically moved to the music on animation in Turkey, except for the funny antics with my five-year-old niece to children's songs.

As soon as the lesson began, all fears evaporated, displaced by delight and some kind of concentration of others. It's actually amazing how comfortable and free you can feel with the people you see for the first time.

The teacher is a separate topic. Ira Krasnaya is a pure fire, she fluttered over the floor, hovered in the air and smoothly flowed from movement to movement - when looking at her, everything seemed easy and simple, although in reality it is not easy to conquer your own body. And as she explained: "You should jump up chest forward, as if someone from above tried to rip out your soul, and then suddenly let go" or "Did well, as if she reached out to the sun and kissed it." But most importantly, she constantly said - "Do not be afraid." But in fact, in fact, it is impossible to dance like this - overcoming gravity, in absolute harmony of soul and mind, fearing something - in this, it seems to me, dance teaches fearlessness. The direction requires some physical preparation, for example, it was hard for me to do a forward roll, but the back roll remained unconquered - there is something to strive for.

And dance is also very feminine. This is where the project psychologist Marina would be very happy - she accompanies me every day during the project, comes up with various small tasks - and tries to make my mind and body friends, to train femininity and self-love.

Despite the intensity of the session, the pain in my shoulders was amazingly gone - like after yoga or a good massage.

On the way home, music sounded in my head, and my brain tried to remember the order of movements and memorize a ligament - there is no time for digesting any problems or self-digging, and certainly no stress. I smiled for no reason, and my body sang. Despite the intensity of the session, the pain in my shoulders was amazingly gone - like after yoga or a good massage.

Insanely grateful to the editors of "Cleo", amazing and really close, I do not know what awaits me ahead, the project is almost completed, it seems that I can no longer be without new impressions, amazing lessons and incredible people. But everything is in our hands.
