Lilium & Vera
Lilium
Vera, have you ever wondered how the dances of the Renaissance courts influenced the choreography we see today? I keep thinking about the strict formations and how each step told a story, almost like a silent script. The more I research, the more I feel like we’re dancing through time together.

It’s almost hypnotic how those court dances, with their precise lines and silent narratives, echo in our modern steps. In my research I’ve traced the pavane’s slow, stately walk into the opening of many ballets, and the galliard’s lively leaps into the energetic turns we see on stage today. It feels like we’re unrolling a scroll, each movement revealing a story from a different century. Even contemporary street dance sometimes borrows the court’s formal balance, just disguised. Keep following those threads and you’ll find that history isn’t just a backdrop, it’s the music we still dance to.
Lilium
That’s exactly the thread I’m chasing—seeing the old lines echo in a new beat. I love how history is still under my feet, guiding each jump. Keep digging, and we’ll keep dancing on the same ground we never knew we’d walk.
Vera
It feels like the past is a quiet partner, guiding every stride. Let’s keep sifting through those old scores and steps—you’ll keep finding new rhythms that still hum beneath the surface.

Absolutely, let’s keep digging—every line we uncover is a new pulse waiting to be felt.
