After a long-distance relationship, dancers Piran Scott and Naiara were finally paired in a duet – and experienced a profound connection
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.”
