The other day I hung out with my niece in the bedroom. We talked about stuff and the subject of dance came up. I told her I was going to a Zumba fitness workshop. Dia tanya apa tu? Mak Long cakap itu gabungan bermacam-macam jenis tarian latin. Oooo dia jawab. Latin tu apa Mak Long?
Maka bermulalah Introduction to Latin dance 101.
Then she told me she too liked to dance. She asked me to look away while she prepared her dance steps to show me. Selepas beberapa minit dia pun mempersembahkan sebuah tarian yang tidak dapat saya kenalpasti asal-usulnya dan dari genre apa kerana ia agak...pelik. Jadi saya tanya dia.
-Aina ini apa jenis joget ni? Takde muzik pun?
-Oh tak payah pakai muzik Mak Long. Nari je.
-Ohhh. What is it called?
-A chess dance.
-You mean a jazz dance?
-No. A chess dance.
-Tarian apa tu?
-Oh you dance the chess dance when your friend is playing chess. Untuk sokong dia. But you have to keep quiet when they play chess. So that's why there is no music.
Mak Long melopong.
-Ooohhhh. In that case we should have a Snake and Ladder dance as well. Untuk sokong kawan-kawan kita yang tengah main Snake and Ladder. Haaa yang ini boleh ada muzik sebab tak payah senyap-senyap!
-Tsk tsk tsk...(budak bertuah ni men-tsk tsk-kan aku)...of course I won't be doing the Snake and Ladder dance. I'd be too busy playing the game! So YOU have to do the dance to cheer me on!
Dang. Mana pulak aku nak cari snake suit ni. Dan cari pemain seruling juga. Any ideas?
