Let's dance

The half of our stay in Warsaw has passed. Every day, we have classes which equip us with new knowledge and positive impressions. The bonds between the participants getting more and more stronger day by day, and new friendships are formed. Every day, we spend a lot of  time together watching each other's, but every time we are together we are always happy and smiling. We exchange positive emotions, skills and experience with one another. Being all together, we have an impression as if we created one family, where there is some love for everyone.
Today's morning started in a similar way as the previous ones: sleepy, with half-open eyes, we are preparing breakfast in the dining room, sharing our memories from the adventures of yesterday's evening. In the dining room, each one of us has their own place: some sat on the couch, others sat politely at the table. Someone is complaining about being drowsy, someone is laughing, and someone is just watching what is happening around. Today's morning wasn't special! As later appeared, it was the predictable beginning of something unpredictable. Oh God! I've forgotten! Today we play concert on Sienna with a choir from Finland. This message reached each participant eating breakfast, including those who hadn't started eating yet. We got together and rushed to classes in Stara Prochownia. Everyone knew the way well.
One new person joined to our group - Marcin. A sympathetic, young choreographer who after having given each of us a nice and honest glimpse, and he became acquainted with us. Next, we started scenic movement classes. Martin suggested that we should learn a choreography to one of the songs we were taught by our Polish friends. There was such a lot of happiness in it. At the beginning, we couldn't repeat the moves, we were forgetting and making a lot of mistakes. Marcin was coming up with fresh ideas, which we had to accept and put into practice really quickly. It seems to me that it was funny to observe our classes because the movement were completely asynchronous.
Our today's activity was observed by one more person - the ambassador of the Youth in Action programme who talked to Kasia and the leaders of the choirs. She spend with us more time than she had originally planned. I hope that she liked it. Of course, we carried on singing and dancing. Tired but happy and content, we came back for dinner. This part of the program is always eagerly expected by everyone.
