Star Trek: en pointe, and sway

Jul 20, 2009 21:59

Title: en pointe, and sway

Rating: PG

Character(s): Gaila, Uhura

Warnings: none, really.

Summary: Gaila wants very much to be friends with Nyota. Ballet and Orion dance, however far apart, still share the root of passion.

Notes: Well, why not? Weird little one shot, obviously nodding to Center Stage, which is, frankly, awesome.

( It takes a month before Nyota and Gaila meet on common ground... )

character: uhura, fandom: star trek, character: gaila

This is brilliant!
Love, love the vision of the two dancers, each moving to the beat of their own drum, and finding a common rhythm in friendship.
I'd love to read about Nyota learning to dance the Orion way...you should write it!

Thank you muchly! :D

Haha, maybe, but scroll down to see possibly_thrice's take on it, as it is hilarious and awesome.

Oh, this is utterly fantastic! I love how the passion of dance serves as the connection between the two cultures. I really enjoyed this, thank you!

Thanks!

You know, there are a surprising number of people who think ballet is all stiff-necks and ho-hum, when it really is a very passionate form. It's hard not to have passion in any dance form. :)

For you, ma cherie, comment!fic. Rambling prosey comment!fic, your FAVORITE sort. Haha. Ahahaha. :DD

Oh, I loved that reason for bonding and the way their dance styles reflect their characters. :-)

lune_and_asters July 22 2009, 01:00:56 UTC

Thank you! I'm surprised that (at least to my knowledge) no one has written Orion slave girl dancing with Gaila.

Ohh this is lovely :D

I really like how they've bonded over something like this, and how the diffrent styles really do reflect they're different personalities.

Wonderfully done.

lune_and_asters July 22 2009, 01:02:14 UTC

Glad you think so. :D

Yep, different personalities, different standards; any different style of dance can say a lot about a culture.
