Moreover, this matter arose suddenly, and Duanmu Ci could only select people from the school. Among them, some of them would inevitably lack dance background, which made things even more difficult! Under these circumstances, it was impossible to present the Rainbow Feather Dance in its original form, so some changes had to be made.
Duanmu Ci summoned Su Wuyu and Yun Yun to the Duanmu Pavilion to discuss the dance rehearsal. Duanmu Ci had previously rehearsed the "Rainbow Feather Dance" with a Chinese dance troupe in New York, so he had a video recording of it. Duanmu Ci showed the video to them and then waited for their response.
Su Wuyu and Yun Yun were naturally and utterly stunned. The grandeur of the Tang Dynasty far surpassed that of the present. Both were truly devoted to dance, so they were naturally more easily awestruck by the exquisite beauty and magnificence of the Rainbow Feather Dance. They remained stunned for a long while before finally recovering. "This…this is the dance you're going to rehearse? What kind of dance is this? We've never seen it before!"
They were very confident, believing that with their knowledge, if there really was such a magnificent dance, they couldn't possibly not know about it.
Duanmu Ci turned off the video. "This is the dance. It's called the Rainbow Feather Dance. You should have heard of it."
They had certainly heard of it, especially Su Wuyu, who taught ancient arts. However, they would never have imagined that this was actually the Rainbow Feather Dance. They thought it might be a new dance choreographed by some modern master under the guise of an ancient name, and had little to do with Yang Yuhuan and her group.
“No!” Su Wuyu shook her head. “This dance is indeed very good, but it’s too good. Our students definitely won’t be able to handle it.”
Of course, even professional dancers would find it extremely difficult to capture the essence of the Rainbow Feather Dance, let alone these half-baked students.
"That's why we need to make changes," Duanmu Ci said with a smile, "until it suits our students' jumping style."
"How should we change it?"
"Preserve its artistic conception, simplify its techniques," Duanmu Ci said elegantly.
However, if Chu Xinsu were to say it, he would probably say this:
"As long as the prestige remains, that's good." (To be continued.)
