Escape the Library

【Masquerade Ball-02】

At 19:50 in the evening, everyone gathered at the agreed course selection center.

The "X foreign aid" invited this time is a senior girl from the dance academy introduced by Qi Luoran's younger brother, named Yu Xin. She has studied dance since she was a child. She has a slender figure and a straight posture when walking. The character of the colonel flower level.

However, Yue Xingwen has an attitude of appreciation for beautiful women. There are also many good-looking girls in the Chinese Department of Hua'an University. He will keep a distance from the girls in a gentlemanly manner. The junior sisters of the Chinese Department all say that Brother Xingwen is single. By now, his vision must be too high. In fact, he just doesn't know how to get along with girls.

Yu Xin is really beautiful, but fortunately, she is not arrogant with eyes above the top, but has a very easy-going personality. After arriving at the course selection center, she greeted the other four girls first, then walked to Yue Xingwen and said, "I don't know how to take the exam for the dance department. First, look at the exam instructions?"

Yue Xingwen opened the course selection button, and a line of prompt information appeared on the big screen in front of him——

【Required Course: Masquerade Ball】

【Academy: School of Art】

【Credits: 4】

[Exam room rules: limited courses, the credit sharing function can be used, and the maximum number of people in the examination room is 8 (including X group members)]

[Course description: There are various forms of dance. Excellent dancers can express different emotions with their flexible limbs alone, while group dances pay more attention to teamwork and choreography]

[Exam requirements: complete a group dance, participate in a masquerade ball, and get a basic team score; a single person's performance at the dance party can add points to the team]

[Remarks: This course involves a large number of professional dance movements, it is recommended that there be at least one student majoring in dance in the research group]

【Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No】

Yue Xingwen was not surprised to see this description.

Among the three courses in the School of Art, the Fine Arts Department is a reasoning course related to abstract painting and oil painting, the Music Department is a music-themed mini-game, and the Dance Department allows them to directly learn dance and participate in dance parties, which is also in line with the style of the Dance Department.

It's just that it's not easy to practice a dance in a short period of time, especially for people who are not physically coordinated and flexible enough, when they dance, they are like a dancer, and it becomes a "dance of demons".

The pop-up prompt on the course selection panel does not reveal much information, but Yue Xingwen can speculate that the final grade of this course should be related to the completion of everyone's dance learning and final presentation.

Sure enough, Yu Xin also said: "8 people are required to take the exam and perform dances at the masquerade... It should be similar to a dance training camp, and it must be time-limited. We need to learn all the dance steps within the specified time and keep up. The music rhythm, the final acceptance stage, will be graded according to the accuracy and completion of the dance?"

Ke Shaobin scratched his head and said, "My limbs are incoherent. If I dance, I might be on the same arm and foot, so I won't go!"

Xin Yan said lightly: "Same as above."

Zhang Xiaonian followed: "I don't have any artistic skills at all, so it's great that I don't need exams!"

Lan Yarong looked at Yue Xingwen and said, "Xingwen, if there are 8 people, is it better to have 4 men and 4 women?"

Qin Miao took the initiative to raise her hand: "I can't dance with Xiaolu at all. If I learn to dance within the specified time, if the movements are not standard enough, it will definitely hinder everyone. I don't think it is necessary to match men and women, and the course requirements only say 8 people. , I didn't say there must be 4 men and 4 women, you can find 8 people who are better at dancing, better to pass the test, right?"

Qin Lu agreed: "Sister is right. When I was in elementary school, I performed the simplest children's dance on Children's Day on June 1, and I couldn't keep up with everyone's movements, not to mention the double-coordinated national standard dance. If you let me go In this class, I guess I'll keep stepping on my partner's feet, but it's a drag!"

The twins Qin Miao and Qin Lu can't dance, which means that their team can only have 3 girls.

But Qin Miao is right. The course requirements do not say that there must be 4 males and 4 females. Some research groups (such as Senior Brother Yu's team of Kyoto University) only have 2 females in total. Are they not good enough for this course?

Therefore, among the 8 candidates, two boys dancing in a group must be allowed.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen simply made a decision: "Then I'll be in a group with Pingce. Although we are not dance majors, we have participated in dance training classes together in our freshman year, and we know some basic dance steps, and they are also considered There is a tacit understanding."

Zhuo Feng thought about it and said, "Also. Since neither Qin Miao nor Qin Lu can dance, the two of you will learn faster if you go. For the remaining 6 people, I will be with Manluo."

Liu Zhaoqing glanced at Lan Yarong next to him and said, "Woman, we are a group?"

Lan Yarong said bluntly: "You are too tall, I can't reach you, I will dance a duet with you, the scene is like a giant carrying a chicken."

Liu Zhaoqing supported his forehead: "...Then I squat down and dance with you?"

Xu Yishen took a step forward with a smile and took the initiative to mediate: "I'll go with Senior Sister Lan. Senior Brother Liu, you are indeed a bit tall. You and Yu Xin are a group with a suitable height."

Yu Xin is 1.7 meters, Lan Yarong is only 1.55 meters, Liu Zhaoqing glanced at the height difference between the two girls, and readily agreed: "That's it, Junior Sister Yu, please give me more advice."

Yu Xin nodded at him: "You're welcome."

After discussing the list of people participating in the course, Yue Xingwen pressed the course selection button to prepare everyone.

At this moment, Ke Shaobin suddenly patted his forehead and said, "Dancing generally requires uniform clothes. A group of us wear sports uniforms and white sneakers. Is it inappropriate to go to the dance? The course requirements do not say whether uniform clothes are required."

Yue Xingwen also thought of this problem: "It's true that everyone is dressed in a mess, and it's not good to dance in a group dance, but it's too late to buy clothes in a unified way, so let's adapt accordingly."

Ke Shaobin said helplessly, "That's the only way."

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "The course is called Masquerade Ball. Maybe at the last ball, the library will distribute uniforms to us. Don't forget, when we went to the construction site of the School of Architecture, we distributed all workers' clothes to us. "

Yue Xingwen smiled and nodded: "It makes sense. Don't worry about the clothes first. The key is to learn to dance as soon as possible. The library will definitely not be kind enough to arrange a coach for us, so we have to ask Senior Sister Yu Xin."

Yu Xin said, "Don't worry, I will try my best."

When the exam time came, everyone was sent to a special enclosed space——

This is the dance practice room.

In an empty room of about 60 square meters, the front and rear walls are mirrors, a door is left on the left, and the wall on the right is a large LCD screen. The floor is clean and spotless, and you can almost see your own reflection.

As soon as everyone came to the dance studio, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in their ears: "Welcome 8 candidates to the dance department course. The New Year is approaching. On the evening of December 31, CNTV will hold a New Year's celebration as a member of the dance troupe. , you are invited to participate in this celebration and perform a dance program at the party, which is only 3 days away. Next, three different styles of dance will be played, please choose one, and study it in the next 3 days and rehearsal."

Liu Zhaoqing wanted to scold, "Three days, you cheated me", but before the words could be said, the dance demo started playing on the big screen.

Dance A is the classic Cha Cha dance. It looks very elegant, but the movements are very difficult. The dance steps and hand movements are very complicated. It is almost impossible for non-professionals to learn it in 3 days. Moreover, Cha Cha Cha is most of the time. You need to twist your hips, and it's going to look really weird if you don't twist it nicely.

After Yu Xin saw this dance, she frowned slightly and continued to read the next paragraph.

Dance B is a cool and handsome hip-hop. The soundtrack is a very fast-paced Rap. The dancers in the DEMO are all holding nunchucks, jumping, and turning somersaults. After reading it, Yu Xin couldn't imagine it even more - it's alright to let the school tyrants take the exam papers to do the questions, and dance with a stick together? I'm afraid I didn't jump halfway, and the stick fell to the ground!

It would be so embarrassing if it flashed to the waist when turning somersaults.

Dance C, the movements are equally difficult, but fortunately this is a more elegant and soothing waltz.

Yu Xin was born in dance. She started dancing at the age of 3 and can master various styles of dance. She remembered that Yue Xingwen had mentioned to her that Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo in the team had learned dance when they were children, and their physical flexibility must be no problem - that is to say, it should not be difficult for the three girls to learn this dance.

The key is the boys, except for Xu Yishen, the other four are laymen.

Thinking of this, Yu Xin turned to look at the boys and asked politely, "Which one do you want to choose?"

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other. They thought that this dance exam was just a simple ballroom dance, but it turned out to be a "team dance practice for a limited time", and they had to participate in a cultural performance, which was troublesome!

A group dance can be practiced in 3 days, a group of non-professionals, can they do it?

Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, then said: "Look. Which one is better to practice, choose which one, we will fully cooperate."

Yu Xin said: "The dance steps of the first song are too difficult to learn. The second song has a large range of movements and is easy to get injured. Personally, I prefer the third song. The dance rhythm is relatively slow, and boys will look good when they dance."

Liu Zhaoqing frowned and said, "The third dance moves very frequently, do you think we can learn it?"

Yu Xin said helplessly: "Every dance is not easy, we can only hurry up and practice."

Yue Xingwen has no objection: "Then choose the third song."

Yu Xin nodded, and pressed the third song in the options. Then, the big screen began to replay the third dance demo. This dance required 8 people to cooperate to complete the dance. The waltz was performed in pairs, and the dance moves were very elegant.

Yu Xin watched it with everyone, kept the movements in her heart, and said, "This is the classic waltz "Vienna Woods Waltz", you should have noticed it just now, the rhythm of this song is very strong, and the dance steps must be followed. Beat the beat, otherwise it will be ugly. I will start from the beginning and pick up the dance moves, and everyone will re-read them and choose their own positions."

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and said with a wry smile, "Why do you feel like you're being chased by a duck?"

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "In 3 days, let's practice hard. With Yu Xin's personal teaching, I should be able to practice."
