Today we built off of the movement from last Wednesday in which we apologize to the ground for stomping on it. We spent a lot of time working on movements with three and four counts. This was a bit more painful than the other classes because of the squatting and stomping. My legs were a bit sore and my feet hurt from the stomping, but hopefully that will improve with practice. I feel clumsy doing it right now, but it looks really impressive when done correctly.
At the end of class we formed the Kecak circles again and were introduced to a couple of different chants. We learned the “sir-tit-pung-tit” chant, in which we bob our heads from left to right and sing the chant. We also worked on a movement in which we raise our hands, lean forward and back and forward again, all while chanting “ang,” “ung,” and “mang.” It’s definitely a different form of performance than anything I have ever experienced, but I enjoy learning all of the new things in class each day.
