Když člověku cvrnkne...

When a person gets a chirp...

I liked high school. It was a bit different than I had originally planned, but I didn't mind.

As a student with a school more than 50 km away from home, I lived in a boarding house.

He has no problem following the normal rules - I felt good there.

It was quiet at school and as students studying for the profession of zootechnician, we had a lot of practice on the school farm and also a lot of part-time jobs in the fields. Part-time jobs gave us the opportunity to earn a few crowns in addition to the pocket money from our parents. (I appreciated studying animal husbandry later when I saw girls from the economics department filling out A0 sheets of paper - should give, gave, assets, liabilities and learning to calculate it all so that everything fits together and it made my head spin)

At that time, this option was not commonly available to students. Normally, they could not find part-time work on their own before the age of 18. The only option was through relatives or acquaintances, at their workplace. And after graduating, students received a job placement, which was arranged for them by the school, and it was mandatory to take that position, regardless of where it was located in the republic....

That changed after the Velvet Revolution, which happened when I was in my second year. I was one of the first years to no longer receive placements from school and look for jobs on my own....

The dormitory was new, nice, clean, and normally furnished. Every two bedrooms had a shared bathroom and hallway. There was a bunch of normal, friendly students there. No extreme animosity and scheming. When someone didn't have to be with someone, they got out of the way or arranged to move to another room.

We went out as we wanted, but the cinema had to be arranged with the teacher because it ended late. In the outdoor locker room we had a ping-pong table where during the school year there were often sports games or table tennis - depending on who had a bat in their hand... Sometimes we went to the nearby gym with a group of friends to play volleyball in a similar spirit...

There was a common room or clubhouse on the intro. We would gather there to watch TV, or when the teachers wanted to tell us something together, or when we wanted to do something that didn't fit in our room or didn't fit.

It was possible to divide it into two spaces with a thick artificial leather screen - I used that quite often over time.
As I wrote earlier, I liked motion ring in elementary school, which at that time (except for the dance conservatory) was the only available type of exercise to music (aerobics appeared later). So from time to time, behind that screen, I would do my own private exercise classes with a cassette player and try out various things in this vein.

Once, a friend joined me for a while and we managed to put together a choreography (? - well, more of a set) for one song. We had fun and finished it. The universe must have liked it because it gave us an opportunity - at that time, the guys from a nearby school, with whom our school had friendly relations, invited us to their disco, which they were holding at the school boarding school. For me and my friend, it was an opportunity to show off our choreography.
I don't remember how I managed it. Stage fright is a crazy thing, but we had a nice applause and it felt good that peole liked it.
In short, it was my very first public dance performance in my life. (I had the non-dance one in the first grade of elementary school at the Spartakiad, in the seventh grade in the children's TV show Pionýrská vlaštovka and also in the eighth grade in the role of a clown at the school academy). (There is a different clown in the photo, but more on that later)

WELL, jak jsem si jednou v internátní klubovně takhle provozovala ty své pohybovky, so suddenly CVRNK !

Do you know what that is?

That will sound like CVRNK in your head.................................................................................

................................................................................. yeah CVRNK, like when a bell rings in your head.

 

This CVRNK was accompanied by the feeling that Archimedes probably had when he climbed into a bathtub filled to the brim and immediately jumped out of the bathtub, shouting "HEURÉKA" because he came up with the theorem about a body immersed in a liquid, which solved an important work problem for him.

I didn't rush out of the clubhouse screaming HEURÉKA, I just stood there in that separate space, to the sound of music playing, and my head replayed.

..........YEAH........................ THAT'S IT...................I WANT TO DO THIS..........................................YEAH

And a love called DANCE was born.

I DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME THAT IT WOULD BE LOVE FOR A LIFETIME!
