The Clarity of Master Elio's Movement ESP/ENG
Master Elio welcomed me very warmly into his class. His training is in modern dance and theater, which I like because I enjoy exploring ways of moving that make me conscious of my movement through a stylized form, given that I tend to be hunched over.
El maestro Elio me recibió con mucho cariño en su clase. Su formación es en danza moderna y teatro, lo cual me gusta porque me gusta explorar formas de moverme que me hagan conciencia de mi movimiento a través de una forma estilizada, debido a que tiendo a estar encorvado.

I was always hunched over as a child, but I never understood why it was so hard for me to maintain good posture. By taking dance, I understood that the muscles related to my posture were muscles that were out of tone, and I had never been taught how to maintain a good posture, and the how is, as he would say, more important than the not being hunched.
Siempre fui encorvado desde pequeño, pero nunca entendí por qué me costaba tanto estar con una buena postura. Haciendo danza comprendí que los músculos relacionados a mi postura eran músculos que tenía fuera de tono, y nunca me habían enseñado a mantener una buena postura y el cómo, él diría, es más importante que el no estarlo.

Elio has an incredibly stylized way of moving. He is a very talented dancer who knows how to demonstrate correctly, in a straight form, but who also knows how to improvise without his movement looking clumsy. There is a precise economy in his gestures.
Elio tiene una forma de moverse súper estilizada. Es un bailarín muy talentoso que sabe cómo mostrar de una forma correcta, de una forma recta, pero que también sabe cómo improvisar sin que su movimiento se perciba torpe.

I try to imagine what Elio was like when he was younger, and I believe he still maintains much of his ability despite his age. I would like to have his wisdom in dance because beyond his style, Elio knows very well how to sustain the maximum clarity in the minimum expression.
Trato de imaginarme cómo sería Elio de joven y creo que sigue manteniendo bastante de sus capacidades a pesar de su edad. Y me gustaría tener su sabiduría en la danza porque, más allá de su estilo, Elio conoce muy bien cómo sostener en la mínima expresión la máxima claridad.
