Dance instructor Bopho Padma watches his dancers in rehearsal as they make their way offstage. "Good use of your upper body," he tells one dancer whose shoulders and torso were particularly engaging. "The audience can still see you!" he chides another dancer who has stopped dancing and started pulling at her costume prematurely. When all thirty dancers have made it into the invisibility of the wings (actually a room through a door, in this case), Bopho calls everyone back to review his observations and corrections. The dancers listen solemnly and, at an encouraging clap from Bopho, jump up to go through the last piece one more time--this time focusing more on their footwork. The rehearsal follows basically the same pattern of every rehearsal I've ever seen, but these dancers are 13-16 year old school students learning the traditional folk dances of their Ladakhi culture.
