    Last night I have been involved in some underground things... Could you imagine that?
    A totally clandestine event which took place when the dark already came to cover this little town by the Mediterrane sea. And I have been there, enjoying it.

    Yes, I did, I enjoyed it. Why those surprised faces now??

    Music was involved in that action. Dance too. And some cool people who enjoyed themselves.

    What they were doing?

    Before you start to imagine in your mind what I have been doing yesterday evening I will clarify the thing. It was a dancing session on the street. There is a round place at the beginning of the promenade and sometimes there are concerts organized by the local authorities. However, this event yesterday was not organized by any authority, organization, dance school or else. People who danced there organized it on their own.

    One of my adult piano students is dancing in a dance school and attends many courses held by renowned dancers. That is his passion so he many times talks to me about his experience. He has mentioned that sometimes they (not the school, just the people who really enjoy dancing) organize clandestino-s. Underground dancing sessions in different parts of the towns, usually on the streets where they will have some space to enjoy moving their bodies.

    Forgotten freedom, felt through dance without rules, without an established partner. They can dance when they feel it, with the person they like to dance with at a certain moment. Talking, chatting, moving the body, practising new steps, making new choreographies, or just improvising them. In the moment.

    Well, it is not that you just move your feet without some bases. They dance the Lindy hop style, but then freely add their steps, how the moment guides them. That style exists for a century almost, born in the United States. I am not a dancer, I can't define the steps and the used technique, but my student mentions charleston, jazz and swing dance. A mixture of elements from those styles.

    For me, it seems a whole new territory, and it would be absolutely outside of my comfort zone to even try it. First, I should learn the basics, the steps, and practise it for several years to be able to dance anything from this Lindy hop style. But it does seem exciting to do it!

    Night came. It was already dark, so my shots are terrible. I know, don't even try to say, anyone, that they are not terrible. But that is what I have. Maybe a better phone would take acceptable photos when it is dark, who knows... What I do know is that I want to picture you a little bit of atmosphere, just to see the location and people talking, dancing and having a nice evening. The rest is in your imagination. And in the video too :)

    Oh, and the wind came too. It was blowing quite a bit, so unfortunately it also affected the sound in the video. I shot one flag, where it can be seen that it was not just a breeze. However, I recommend watching the video and catching a bit of the feeling and movements.

    That was my yesterday evening clandestine activity :D Being there with them, no, not dancing, just enjoying the atmosphere. It would be cool to know to dance as they are doing, but I will not make any action to learn it. It would be just impossible. I just have to keep calm and continue learning my Rachmaninoff piece.

    So, what about you? Do you dance? Professionally? As hobby? For your own joy?
    When, how and with who you are doing it? All this, or else is what you can share with us in the comment section of this post or/and make your own post on the topic. It would be great to see how dancing can bring freedom to the body and mind.
