Walking through the city in the hot sun makes me feel like I’m on the beach somewhere. Only the whitish cityscape and the blue sky fill the scenery, and there are few people.
Most people hesitate to leave a cool room
and much of what they have to do is done by their smartphone or computer.
Occasionally, residents wear hats, long-sleeved shirts and parasols when they go out. Their destination is a store that offers takeaway products.
Dirty paper stuck in one corner of the main street is fluttering. The announcement written there is as expected. This year’s summer festival has been cancelled.
Events where many people gather and enjoy dancing and singing may not be revived forever.
I move a heavy plastic bag containing takeaway food from my left hand to my right hand. It now feels like a lie that the inhabitants held hands and danced in a circle until late at night.
What are the characteristics of dance that have been popular recently?
Dance is preferred, especially among the younger generation. It seems that there are multiple dance circles in each school.
Of course, keep in mind that the characteristics of dance that have been favored these days are quite different from those of the 70’s and 80’s.
In front of the large glass of a park or building at midnight, the younger generation keeps twisting the joints of the whole body as much as possible, mainly synchronizing with hip-hop music.
Even movements that seem to confirm muscle elasticity and skeletal structure seem to contain some message.
Of course, dancing is a product of sensibility, and no reason or evaluation should be brought into it.
However, I think that dance has no meaning unless there is a person who dances and a person who watches the dance.
Because dancers dance because they want to share something they can’t put into words with someone, right?
If you accept the relationship between the dancer and the watcher for the time being, I would like to point out one thing.
It’s a synchronization challenge.
What are the precautions for synchronizing dance and music?
The dancers make their whole body sensitive and move their bodies in synchronization with the music. Eliminate slight delays and synchronize with music as much as possible.
But suppose there is a certain distance between the dancer and the watcher.
My explanation may be a leap, but the speed of light and the speed of sound are not the same. Light travels much faster than sound.
In other words, the movement of the dancer reaches the eyes of the watcher at a distance in an instant, but the music reaches the ears of the watcher with a slight delay.
Even if the dance and the music are in sync, the dance and the music received by those who watch over it are very slightly out of sync.
For those who watch the dance, the movement of the dance seems to be faster than the music.
The greater the distance between the two, the greater the asynchrony between the dance and the song.
Of course, there are ways to solve this tiny challenge. In order for those who watch the dance to enjoy the synchronization of the dance, it is enough for the dancer to move slightly slower than the music.
I stand on a hot road and look for shade.
For the next few years, I imagine dance circles won’t have fun practicing.
Even though the fun of the members of the circle has been synchronized because the distance between the dancers and the watchers was extremely short.
The hot wind hits my face and my body temperature never drops.
Just as dance styles have changed dramatically every decade, I imagine that the next new dance style will also be entirely new.
I think those who really love dancing will be able to wait for the next new dance.
I moved the plastic bag on my right hand to my left hand. Let’s go home before the ice melts.
