New York City, Les Twins workshop.
At the end of the workshop, all the audience made a circle to start the cypher.
I was sitting on the edge, Larry was in the cypher an Lau just switched the songs.
Some dancers were battling Larry while Lau watched his bro near of the sono.
Then Larry was the only one in the center and just freestyled.
When something got me: Lau put Ancient Culture Part 2 by Viramaina.
From the first sound I recognized it. I closed my eyes to feel it. This song means a lot to me, it's like a part of my story, of my soul.
My head was shaking on the beat when I felt something holding my hand. I opened my eyes to see Larry crouching in front of me, staring at me and holding my hand to let me in the cypher. He put me on my feet and leave me there, alone and in the center. I could feel his curiousity and interest about my reaction with this song when I was sitting...
Before starting I glanced at Lau who was behind the audience, staring at me and asking to Larry with his eyes like "Hey bro, why her?".
Lau restart the song to me: I felt safe, I felt free. Then I closed my eyes once again, to feel the song, deeper and deeper. I starting to wave to each melody, to pop to each break beat and to slowmotion to each drums... I was lost, as I did on this song when I was at home the first time I danced on it...
All I could see was black: no place to be, no one to see, nothing but the song and my pain, my anger.
Each part of this song is each step of my ex boyfriend relationship. He hit me, insulted me everyday, and to dance on it is like I wanna remove everything from my skin. My hands and my arms follow everything of the song, and everybody could see my pain thanks to this freestyle. I can't talk about it from now, but I can dance it.
Each break beat is a heartbreaking to me, and I just want to open my chest to grab my heart to not feel it anymore.
My body just talks for me, my moves were uncontrolled and my tears start to fall down my face...
My eyes are still closed, I open it only to see the walls around me, to see the fixed faces and the stares at me...
I kept dancing, crying my pain and giving everything to everybody in the audience when I felt something well-known for me: Lau was behind me, just to help me to stay on my feet and to not fall down with pain. He started to dance with me, his eyes on mine, his soul covering my pain, my anger and my body.
I knew it, I knew he could feel it, because we both feel the same thing: we can feel people's mind, and we can calm them by touching them or just by being next to them. That's what he did to me. For the first time someone could help me. I wanted it so badly from Lau!
He just did it. So he waves with me, we were like connected because our moves completed each other and what we've done at the end was just the top of my freestyle...
We are staying on our feet face to face, really close like my head could rest on his chest, and when the last beat was heard, we both have done the back drop before standing up and him to hug my shoulders, his chin on my forehead, and me to hug his waist, my head resting on his chest.
I kept crying, breathless, and with no words Lau grab my head to wipe my tears before kissing my lips with a heavy breath.
I was lost in my pain, and all I could see or feel was me in Lau's arms, his lips on mine.
When he broke the kiss, I was again on earth, looking around me to see people screaming and crying at me, applauding me. Lau was holding my hand, and when I saw Larry still crouching next to me, my heart just jumped: that's when I realize what I've done and what happened the last three minutes. Larry had his hand on his mouth, thinking while staring at me.
When I looked back to Lau, he smiled to me and I heard Larry whispers in my ears "We need to talk, stay until the end, Lau and me will take you somewhere". Les Twins wink at each other.
I leave Lau's hand to go straight to the bathroom, but people wanted to hug me and to kiss me. It took me so much time to finally be alone to bring my breath back and to take some time to change myself.
Then I go back to the workshop: I sit at the opposite way of the meet and greets session because of the crowd. I put my headphones on my ears while watching them giving pics, hugs, kisses, getting gifts and all the meet and greats stuffs they usually do.
Some time I can see them looking for something over the crowd, I guess it's for me.
I stayed until the last fan. People were waiting outside, but now there's only the staff, Les Twins and me inside.
After checking everything with their staff, they take a look around and smile when they saw me sitting hearing music at the end of the place.
Without any words, Lau holds my hand to take me somewhere with Larry. We go out by the back door, so nobody was waiting for them. They open me their car's door, and I sit behind Lau while Larry was driving.
I think they don't even know where I'm from, but I don't care: I just couldn't help but to trust in them, whatever they would do.
After a while we stopped in front of a club: we enter to the VIP section, and Larry let Lau and me sitting on the couch. I couldn't look at Lau, because I knew he could read deep in me. Larry go back with some water drinks, and sit next to me on the other side.
Lau gives me a glass, and Larry took my attention "So: tell us.". In my head I was like "What the hell I would say!?". I started to open my mouth but no words could come out...
