Well, children, I'm gd to see everyoed about the theater pys," said Raquel, beaming. The had an unusual, tangled appearance, almost like an animated Halloween se, akin to the marvelous world of Jack. Vines and lights hidden behind translut white paper enhahe gentle design of the room.

  -For today, we will explore what is known as dan theater. It's a spirited gesture used by directors to create a different harmony for the audience's experience, -Raquel expined.

  >>For our Christmas py, 'Our Town' by Thornton Wilder, we will incorporate what they call danumbers. These are chraphed routihat are part of the dance, which include solos, duets, or trios. It's not unon to see chraphies involving the entire cast, but it's not reended unless it's a less demanding practice," Raquel said.

  Ohing is certain, though theater has its charm, and operas are the pinnacle of art, I don't think I'm very friendly to the idea of mandatory singing. My voice isn't enough, and singing has always embarrassed me. Dang is more tolerable, but I'm not very skilled at the tricks of these types of attempts.

  -Well, everyone, find a partner a's start with a bit of waltz to warm up the legs. It's always good, - Raquel instructed.

  Look, there goes Cudia, esg my sight and ending up with that guy, Justin. Quite painful for me, sidering I don't have any other friends besides Cudia.

  -Ah, Billy, you're left without a partner, young man. e and dah me - said Teacher Raquel.

  - Yes, ma’am, - Billy replied.

  -Try to spread ys a little more, just a bit. The dance is all about subtlety and elegance, - the teacher advised.

  The waltz, in dance, is a cssic among the cssics. Its use has bee reserved for special occasions, but in the past, a good waltz emerged as a sdalous and audacious rea to the sin of couples dang with one another. Its rhythm and footwork be easily learned aed. It inated from the folk traditions of Germany and Austria.

  Ah, do you have any skills for this step, young man?" Raquel asked.

  -Thank you, teacher. I learned something during my childhood, - Billy replied.

  -Oh, Cudia spoke a lot about you, - the teacher said.

  -Ahaha, Cudia did? -Billy asked.

  -Yes, she approached me before lund told me many things about you, - Raquel said. - She spoke highly of your sharp intelled why you deserve the lead role in the py. -

  The powerful Cudia, with all her abilities, now turns out to be a good intermediary with Teacher Raquel. When did she have time for an advanced versation?

  -I don't know what to say, teacher. I'll thank Cudia tonight. But I have many things on my mind, which is why I didn't participate in the audition, - Billy said.

  -She also mentioned your ck of on sense in personal retionships, like the fact that you live in your world, remi of those individuals who have it all figured out but clearly, you don't ao excel prematurely, - Raquel said.

  -It's iing to hear that perspective of me. Although she might be right about seeking to excel prematurely, - Billy said.

  -So, to be more direct, do you want the role or not? - Cudia asked.

  -The role in the py? Isn't there already a chosen aong the third-year students? -Billy asked. -

  - Well, you must fight for what you want, young man. Yielding is wasting opportunities. Once you give up a role, someone else will take it. If you want to shine in Hollywood, you must uand that opportunities are scarce, and beyond any opportunity, petition does not tolerate indecision. – Raquel said.

  >>The shark circle be frustrating for any newer or misfit in Hollywood. You'll have to live between lud a branprobabilities that I assume you don't fully uand, - Raquel said.

  -What does all of this have to do with not accepting a role in a py? -Billy asked.

  -Absolutely nothing, just advice from an old person to their student, - Raquel said.

  Am I missing something? On one hand, I have the decision to pursue an academic career as an animator, and oher hand, I have the desire to be part of film produs earlier than pnned. But I may be mistaken. If I wait to graduate, I'll be twenty-two years old. Starting early isn't always good, but it just so happens that many actors, in general, have been involved in ag since childhood, adolesce, or when they e of age.

  -That's true, teacher. My established pn is to participate in the creation of animated shows and earn a degree in animation. As an artist, my goal is to be part of the creative process. Creating movies is a dreamy and idealistic idea that I have about a world I'm not yet part of, - Billy said.

  - We are the dreams we live. In some people, our dreams determine our happiness. Artistic people are stubborn, they are naive, and they enjoy suaivety in the way we ceive life. It's up to you to decide if you're one of those who only live a life pursuing dreams, - Raquel said.

  - Do you think Cudia did it because...? - Billy asked.

  - Because she cares about you. She wants you to be part of the py. She feels it's your desire, - Raquel said. - Sometimes women have a sixth sense. She may be mistaken. It's now your decision to decide what you do. -

  - If I decide to accept, what do I have to do? - Billy asked.

  -Well, e on Saturday m. We have a rehearsal. Would you like to participate in the rehearsals? e, - Raquel said.

  The musigled with my thoughts, a series of events I couldn't fully prehend. As I got lost in pting which path to choose, it became clear that it wasn't a crossroads but merely a stumbling bloy journey. Sometimes, you slip and stumble upon your iions, uo distinguish the path you were on.

  Billy saw Cudia dang in the distance, smiling at some missteps and her poor footwork coordination. It made him stumble again, and he ughed with her partner, another funny guy whose name he couldn't remember, but his straight, short, bowl-cut bck hair gave him an i look. On Saturday, he would participate in a rehearsal, and once again, his ay seized him like a faucet cutting off his breath.

  Let's leave destiny to ce. Usually, on Saturdays, he wakes up early to go to Lux Animation Studio and draws a plete volume of a particur story. He tinues until te afternoon, has a quick lunch, and then goes with his father to watch a movie as a recreational activity or visit the shoppier to enjoy the hustle and bustle of shoppers around.

  So, what do you decide? It took me a lot of ving to get Teacher Raquel to aowledge your ag talent, - Cudia said, - her eyes wide and questioning. They stood out amidst the dystopian atmosphere of cobwebs. In the distance, everyone was engaged in an improvised dao some modern music, deviating from the once-pyed cssical waltz.

  -Ag talent, Cudia, I'm a novice who is still learning the art, - Billy said.

  -Well, yes, I've seen you practice. You're far better than that ceited and adorable Jack Boor,- Cudia said.

  -I still don't uand what's so special about that guy. You say you hate him, but you bine 'ceited' with 'adorable.' It just makes me question women's love for men. It's quite perverse that you, a decred intellectual, give him so much attention, - Billy said.

  - Well, that doesn't matter. Will you participate on Saturday? I hope to see you in the front row, - Cudia said.

  -I'm still not sure. I have some other things to take care of, - Billy said.

  - Other things? You sound like my father. e on Saturday and leave your e at home, Grandpa, - Cudia said.

  -I'll e. What's your problem with me participating in the school py? - Billy asked.

  -I already told you, it's a great opportunity for you, - she replied. - I have to go now, but if you skip it, I'll e and drag you there, - she said.

  It's frustrating how she always ends her versations abruptly, running off without allowio respond. Well, I'll ask her ter. There are still a few days left.
