This past weekend I decided to spend time with my little brother working on a piece for our dance class. In some ways this was an excellent activity for us to do together and in some ways it was exactly the opposite. On one hand we create fantastic work together and and enjoy rehearsing what we create. Unfortunately, we have a tendency to fight quite a bit while we choreograph. One of us usually storms out of the room at some point but we are always drawn back together by the need to finish our piece. All in all the experience is usually beneficial for both of us and we enjoy working together, otherwise we wouldn't do it. Our only barrier for us spending more time together working was that we got tired around 10:30 pm and my brother had to go to sleep. The best option for us to spend more time together would be to work on pieces on Sundays and Fridays. We actually have plans to choreograph a new number on Friday. This week for the first time my little brother will take the lead choreographing and I am only allowed to help when he gets stuck. I hope that this will mean less fighting although I won't know until we try it. With any luck, our choreography sessions will become a ritual part of our week and we will get to spend more time together.
