Learning the chorus choreography the night before the show
A dance studio near the venue runs a two-hour class for visiting fans. Here is what two hours buys you.
A studio two streets from the venue runs a class the night before every big show. Two hours, one chorus, thirty strangers.
What you learn
The chorus only, counted in eights, first slowly and then at tempo. The instructor mirrors you and calls the counts in English and Korean. By the second hour the room could run it three times without stopping.
What you need
- Trainers you can pivot in. Socks were not allowed on the floor.
- Water; the studio sells it but the queue at the break is long.
- 25,000 won, card accepted, booked online in English.
The next night the chorus came around and thirty of us in the same block hit it together. The people around us noticed. So did the camera.
