soundrtack to be opened in the next tab and looped as you read : SURE SHOT Across the alleyway named Gulbekhyan Street there is a preschool. To cross over to the school's side you'll step through some white lines. The children who sometimes come to the house to watch movies spray painted a mini football (soccer) field, i suppose in preparation for the Olympics. When I asked them what the name of the field was they said naturally, "Gulbekhyan Big Field." good name. The next day that name was spray painted on the stone wall that borders the field. rock 'n' roll.
In the evenings and on weekends the preschool is host to those prone to shake a hip or tap a foot, future dancing with the stars contenders - body movers. The room that is used for lessons is close enough to the walk way that all passing by can catch glimpses through the leaves that barely do their job as curtains. When there are younger students summoning the late mickael jackson you can catch small packs of boys or girls peering over the same-sized stone wall on toes that thematically balance their bodies like ballerinas.
It's an impressive sound system that moves the classes. You'll hear traditional Armenian, loads of Latin, Pop, and interestingly enough the other night, Hip Hop. There were three men practicing some break moves with caps and sneakers apropos of the dance, which makes one wonder if it's just the genre of music to which they prefer to dance. If not, what percentage of their lifestyles have also taken on an activist flare?
I was playing badminton with a friend when the birdie was hit over the wall separating the field and the school. The 2nd time this happened, we had caught the HipHoppers just as they were leaving and locking up the gate. phew! "I lost the...," and I showed them my racket. "Can you see?" (it was night already, only the street lights guiding the game) "Sure," I yelped as I ran to the bushes that were literally holding up the game.
As I walked back out the gate I tried to look them in the eyes without being too creepy. I suppose i thought i could catch the HipHop twinkle that certain friends back home could definitely manage to do. All that came to mind was, "Well, they could definitely do some damage within the system," which was a reference to the normal type of vibe i received passing their persons. Of course, I was just so excited about an impending serious HipHop invasion that i thought something spectacular would be witnessed. All that was caught, and maybe it was enough, was one of the guys doing a quick fling of his right foot to the side before walking away with his posse.
