This article tells the love story of Piran and Naiara, two dancers who met at the Leipzig Ballet in Germany. They started as colleagues but eventually fell in love while touring together. Despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship, their bond grew stronger.
The moment I knew: we were rehearsing a difficult dance move – and I caught her head before she hit the floor
The moment I knew: while I retrieved the car, she was fighting hard to keep the boat off the rocky shoreIt wasn’t until I got another job in Switzerland and knew I’d be leaving the company that I goofily approached her in the studio to confess the chemistry I felt between us and the respect I had for her as an artist, and a person. It was a shot in the dark, but I could see it shifted her interest in me.
It was an eight-hour journey between Leipzig and Basel, but we never let more than a fortnight pass without seeing each other. For some couples distance can create a chasm, for us it brought us closer together. But it wasn’t without its challenges and after about a year she presented me with an ultimatum – we had to be in the same city.
I remember one day in the studio there we were rehearsing a difficult lift. Naiara assured me my grip was wrong. I kept telling her it was the right thing to do. She kept telling me, “It’s wrong, it’s wrong.”
