( He usually works with one of the other choreographers precisely because he's second string. Yuri doesn't mind. By and large it means he gets to skip most rehearsals and focus on what else he needs to do; like work, considering the fine last month hit his non-existent pocketbook hard.
Today both sets of actors, understudies and mains, are present and accounted for. Yuri's hanging with the other understudies and practicing the dance-fight choreo: dance-fight because he's flashing a sharp grin and tucking one arm behind his back and holding up the practice sword. The problem is his Mercutio knows how this goes, and isn't as deft with the sword, let alone the footwork. He rolls his eyes and bats at Yuri's sword with his own, saying he'll be back in fifteen or so to deal with this. Yuri scoffs, bringing his sword back to rest against his shoulder. )
It's not like the footwork's all that difficult... they could stand to make it so much more exciting.
