SHORT SHORTS by Tonig73

Redeemed ?

Addendum to Day 1 ;

We did go out to dinner that night.  As we were walking, we realised we forgot Tyrah, and I went back for her, Angela walking with me.  I felt so stupid, I over reacted.  I was behaving like a teenage girl, and I didn't like it.  We went for dinner at the lovely little restaurant next to The Bridget, and Mary brought along two guys, Andreas and Hasan. Andreas danced in Larry's front row, and Hasan in Laurent's, each their chosen mentor.  

(Side note ; Larry talked about a tour they were going to do, Larry with a team who would dance with his sensibilities, Lau with his own team, and ditto. Whether it'll be a part of Bey's tour, or their own, I don't know.)

Both guys talked with passion about the guys role in their lives.  That they were mentors to them, they met quite often, and were always improving because of them. Hasan was a dance teacher at college level, and he told a story of how he was pulled in by his Principal one day, and told he was being too tough on his students.  The Twins influence, he told me.  

'But how are they supposed to improve, to challenge themselves, if I never push them.' he told him.  He never bothered him again.

Andreas had a story too.  He attended two workshops some years apart.  Larry recognised and greeted him, of course.  At the end of the workshop, he came over to him and told him, 'You still have the same weaknesses you had 5 years ago.'  A little harsh, but the learning curve, no doubt.  You can see Larry dancing him advice in a video at the Montreal workshop, and holding his arm up, showing Andres the goose bumps he just gave him.  Andreas said that moment brought him to tears.  

Day 2 ;

Four of us girls met the next morning for brunch.  How was I feeling, OK I said.  I really was.  We went to see Victoria's mural on the Rue de Aubervilliers, and let me tell you, seeing pictures of it, just doesn't do it justice.  It's amazing.  It has to be a hundred feet long, and the likenesses of our guys and all the crew were amazing.  Victoria captured their vibe, their essence.  Lau looking a bit pissed off.  Larry looking down his nose at everyone.  But I'm glad we went to see it. 

OK, workshop, number 2.  It was good, as usual.  

Tonight was the night that France played England in the World Cup, and beat them.  You've probs seen the bedlam that ensued in the studio when they found out, Larry and Laurent running around all over the place, Larry swinging his boys round and round, Lau doing his version of twerking in the mirror.  Larry literally shoved Eleni into the mirror with his ass, twerking against her crotch like it was going out of fashion.
