My recent style. Jersey is comfortable during performance~

This month I’m immersed in dancing at Nissay Theatre! Everyday, I am stimulated and moved by the Juniors, the dancers, staff from different sections, and the audiences who had came to watch.

After each show, I would reflect on the points for improvement, and then challenge them in the next performance, and find new points to challenge, and move forward little by little. This is an endless path.

During such fulfilling days, I injured my feet on the first day of the performance. I am not sure if this is the right timing, but since I learned a lot from this, I want to talk about it.

Even thought at the moment when I got injured, I told myself that it was no big deal and kept dancing, as time goes by, my right feet can’t move the way I want it to. Once the first part was finish, when I was receiving emergency care in the dressing room, I was irritated with myself who got hurt, and was regretful that not only can I not perform Flamenco as planned; I can’t even dance the originally planned steps.

After the show, I went to the hospital. In the large room separated by curtain, I can only pray that “please let there be no broken bones”. The diagnosis was that while there is no injury to the bones, the ligament was partially torn. I didn’t feel any better after going home, even though I was irritated with myself, I realized that it would be disrespectful to the everyone involved in the show, and the ones who came to see it if I keep this dark mood.

Learning the importance of facing the harsh reality, I worked hard on recovering as soon as possible with the help of the trainer, bandage and pain killer. Day by day I recovered enough to dance again, and I was able to recommence Flamenco one day ahead of my original goal. After the dance, I was filled with gratitude to hear all the applauses.

Although I have caused everyone so much trouble and worries, I want to put all my heart into dancing until the last show!
