Eli Ep. 32: Ballet Practice
The most important thing when playing is to have fun. Realizing that, Eli goes on to have a fun time together with the children. How will Eli respond to the child who brought a ballet picture book with her?
Eli
This is a picture book about ballet dancing. Why don't we try doing it ourselves while we read it?
Eli
Plant your heels and point your toes out, like this. Can you do that?
Eli
Not bad! Your body is so flexible. Now can you stand while parting your legs a little?
Shioriko
Eli and that girl look so happy dancing.
Player
When Eli is here, it's like the children's center becomes a ballet school.
Eli
That's really good! Even without music and without toe shoes, you're a ballerina right now!
Eli
…Hm? You want to do it together with everyone?
Eli
If everyone else wants to, we could do that… But I wonder…
Player
Eli…
| Option 1: “Let's fulfill this girl's request!” |
|---|
| Player Let's fulfill this girl's request! Eli Yes. I don't want to say we can't do it without even trying! |
| Option 2: “I don't know what will happen, but let's give it a try!” |
| Player I don't know what will happen, but let's give it a try! Eli Yes. Let's do that. |
Shioriko
I'll go and talk to everyone!
Player
I'll go and ask the staff if I can play the piano!
Eli
I can always count on you two, can't I?
Eli
Alright, I'd better do my best too!
[Fade in/out.]
Eli
I'm happy to see we have five people here. Let's all practice our ballet pose together!
Shioriko
It's great that we were able to get the children together.
Player
Yeah. The first girl seems really happy too.
Eli
You're all picking this up so fast! Now, why don't we change things up and let you dance however you like?
Eli
Let's try thinking up a cloud pose. Do you imagine floating in the sky? Or being white and fluffy?
Eli
*Giggle* What interesting poses! You've all become different clouds!
Player
Oh! Eli, some more children have come!
Shioriko
I'm sure they all want to try dancing too after seeing you all having such fun moving around.
Player
And Eli herself is enjoying herself so much, I think that attracted everyone.
Eli
You all have such interesting ideas! I just want to keep watching you!
Player
I know! Eli, why don't you do a ballet recital here?
Eli
A ballet…recital?!
