Liepāja Dancers Prepare to Prove They Can Move Better Than Fish in a Net
This Saturday at the Olympic Center, a dance competition will take place where the jury will evaluate whether dancers can move as synchronously as freshly caught fish in fishermen's boats.
While cultural workers in Riga are still trying to figure out what real folklore is, this Saturday at Liepāja's Olympic Center there will be a stage dance collective competition where local dancers will prove they can move much more elegantly than any Riga resident on ice.
At 1:00 PM the youth group will begin, where A, B and C quality collectives will show their skills to a jury with such long titles that they take more time than the actual dance. They'll be judged by choreographers with degrees that sound more impressive than any Liepāja resident's profession, except perhaps 'works at the port.'
In the evening at 8:00 PM, middle-aged and senior collectives will take the stage, proving they can still move as synchronously as freshly caught fish in fishermen's boats. 'Our dancers are like a well-trained school of fish,' explains a local cultural worker, 'except they don't sizzle when you throw them in a pan.'
The jury will evaluate whether the collectives can step as precisely as Liepāja residents heading to Grobiņa during frost season. Entry is free, because even in Liepāja there are things that don't cost money — unlike Riga, where even breathing costs a parking fee.
