I'm still dancing today

The waltz is three steps slow, and it is also the easiest ballroom dance to get started. Who can master the three steps of horizontal and vertical lines? Even if you don’t know how to dance for 1 minute, you can master the basics.

But there are still many postures in the advanced movements of the waltz. Rotation is the foundation, and it is also a top item. There are also some movements of wearing flowers, and movements of hugging the lower back. Xia Kaikai does not want to make public...Although he is not afraid of high-profile, But the dance partner is not strong enough, and many movements cannot be done, so he just made some movements on the feet, and the spinning dance steps are the foundation in his opinion.

As a result, at the beginning, some people still teased him to partner with the Meizi group, but after that, no one spoke up.

Why can't you see this?

It's not who Xia Kaikai has the tacit understanding with, but Xia Kaikai has a tacit understanding with everyone!OK!

After dancing six dances in one breath, Xia Kaikai felt very happy. It was like when a car with old parts and rusty parts continued to resume driving, the iron-red rust shell faded little by little, showing the true color of the interior, the fiery chest It was like a roaring engine, giving him endless power.

Sure enough, he loved dancing.

He stroked his hair and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his casual posture looked graceful and elegant because he awakened the "Dancing King" deep in his soul. It was just a simple movement, but it was inexplicably breathless. The color on the person's body is a bit thicker, which is different from others.

Xia Kaikai walked down from the dance floor, stood behind the girls, kept a gentlemanly distance, then listened to the lectures of Coach Ni Bai and Teacher Li Yue, and waited for the intermission. Surrounded up.

"Holy shit, when did you practice? You dance well."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's charming enough."

"When you were chasing me, if you had this charm, you would have taken him down long ago. What were you thinking before?"

The old players are old and slick, and they are not too afraid of the coach, and they can joke even in front of their faces.The male team formed a circle around Xia Kaikai, and some female team members who were familiar with Xia Kaikai were also laughing outside.

"Xia Kai, I didn't expect you to have such a hand?"

"It's a good dance."

"Big handsome guy, tell me the truth, how long have you been practicing secretly?"

Everyone said this, most of the men were teasing, and they also showed a little bit of envy, while the female players secretly looked at Xia Kaikai a few more times, and they always felt that he seemed a little handsome.

Xia Kaikai became the center of the crowd, so it seemed that Jiang Hua and Qiang Dong standing in the corner were very out of group.

The two of them did not speak, and even stubbornly refused to look at Xia Kaikai.It should be a happy thing for Jiang Hua to be selected as a key player by the coach from the very beginning, but at this moment, the taste in his mouth is mixed.

Qian Dong suddenly said, "Xia Kai hasn't competed in how many years?"

More than two years.

The light on Xia Kaikai's body has disappeared for more than two years, and the person who thought he should leave in despair still stubbornly stays on, and the oppressive feeling of being overwhelmed at the beginning reappears.

Jiang Hua pursed his lips, not wanting to speak.

Ni Bai looked coldly at Xia Kaikai being surrounded by people and praised him, he couldn't stand it anymore, turned and went out the door.

When she was outside the door, she took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, her brows furrowed.

The phone was connected, and a childish and cold male voice said: "Sister-in-law, am I going to go through the formalities today? Everything is ready."

Ni Bai glanced at the door and said, "You hurry up and do it, and come over tomorrow."

"Huh? So fast? I still plan to go to the south for a few days."

"I've started training this season, where are you going to play? Don't practice? Don't you want your partner? Don't compete? Don't you want medals?"

After repeated questioning, the people over there fell silent, and finally said quietly: "My parents are going together, and the tickets are already bought."

Ni Bai opened his mouth, but finally closed it again. He could only say helplessly, "Come back as soon as possible. You know how hard it is to find a good partner. I may not be able to help you keep her."

"it is good."

Ni Bai who hung up the phone sighed, glanced at the man surrounded in the practice room, frowned and went to the bathroom.

When she came back, she walked to the front of the team with a hard-covered notebook in her hand. The hard-covered notebook tapped on her thigh, then stopped, and said, "We are not sure about our partners for the time being, and we will talk about it when the training starts." .”

After finishing speaking, she took another look at Xia Kaikai, swallowed her praise, and then said: "That's it for this afternoon, you all learn about tango dance when you go back, this is the ice dance short program set by the Ice Association for the new season Standard, it’s okay for those who don’t know tango, we start training from the basics. Someone will be eliminated at any time during the training process, I won’t waste your time, and you don’t waste my time, you’ll know if you can skip it.”

After she finished speaking stiffly and coldly, she went to look at Xia Kaikai again and asked, "Xia Kai, do you know tango?"

Xia Kai nodded.

"Ah."

Yes, he is good at Latin dance, which doesn't mean he can't dance modern dance. If he doesn't dance in the world competition, his modern dance level is also good.

The afternoon training ended with waltz music.Xia Kaikai finished the last basic skills training assigned by the coach, and walked out of the gate together with the crowd.

"Xia Kaikai, wait a minute." Someone called Xia Kaikai suddenly.

Xia Kaikai turned around and looked.

It's Teacher Li Yue from the "Dancing Association".

Teacher Li Yue was alone, wearing a gray woolen one-piece dress, with her hair tied high, revealing her slender neck. She was in her 40s, and her figure was in good shape.

She smiled at Xia Kaikai, and when someone approached, she said, "I won't be coming here for a while, so I want to ask you, where did you learn dance before? How many years did you learn?"

Xia Kaikai said.

"I'm in the hobby class. My mother trained me in skating and dancing since I was very young. This year, I went to further study when I had nothing to do. Isn't this for skating and dancing?" Xia Kaikai looked natural, but he was talking nonsense. Can't hide it.

Professional dancers and professional dancers can be seen at a glance. He danced happily before, and he danced completely professionally. The control of posture is the lowest standard of the competition level, which is already a huge gap with amateur dancers.Therefore, he had thought of this excuse from the very beginning.

Li Yue raised her eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "You are really talented, can you reach this level in a year?"

"It's been more than a year, and it's been practiced intermittently since I was very young."

Li Yue nodded, this is more or less the same.

"So, do you mainly practice waltz?"

"All, uh, practicing."

"Huh?" Li Yue raised her eyebrows.

Xia Kaikai grinned: "Isn't this intentional to go to ice dance? Ice dance is a regulated dance every year. Who knows what dance will be danced next year, so I will practice all of them."

"Well, you're a bit greedy." Li Yue shook her head, "Dancing is easy for beginners, but difficult for advanced ones. It doesn't take three to five years. In our opinion, it's not even enough for beginners."

"Yes, you are right. I am studying for exams, and my motivation is impure."

Li Yue was amused, and had a good impression of Xia Kaikai, and her tone became much softer, "If you say you like dancing, you can have this kind of strength in a year, and you can also try to concentrate on dancing."

Xia Kaikai raised his eyebrows.

laugh.

Are you always poaching?

Li Yue was not embarrassed either, she returned a very calm smile and stopped talking.

She has seen too many children practicing dancing. There are so many young people graduating from various dance academies every year. It’s not that they really look at Xia Kaikai differently. It’s that those young children have good basic skills, and they dance very well. , Fresh, brilliant, really beautiful, she likes it tight.

However, it has to be said, but it is a shortcoming, and that thing is called experience.

I don't know if Xia Kaikai has participated in many figure skating competitions. He just danced with a lot of aura, and the confidence to control the audience's predatory eyes is a brighter light, which makes people unable to look away.

So she was thinking, if a person with such experience learns dance again and adjusts the order, will there be any different sparks.

Xia Kaikai sent Li Yue to the gate. When she saw the parking lot from a distance, Li Yue took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Xia Kaikai. There was a piece of paper under the business card and said, "This is my business card. One ticket, the new season of ballroom dance is about to begin, the first national competition will be held in our city S, I have a ticket with a good location here, if you are interested, go and have a look."

Xia Kaikai took it and looked down.

Li Yue also said: "Our dance association is cooperating with foreign countries this year, and will introduce some excellent dance teachers. The club they are in has even won the medal of "Black Pool". Do you know "Black Pool"?"

Xia Kaikai raised his eyebrows, then nodded.

Li Yue opened her mouth to say something, but seeing Xia Kaikai's calm expression, she could only swallow her words, and changed the subject with a smile: "This year's ice dance program is tango, do you know tango? I have I'll send you a lot of tango materials and videos, and your coach Ni Bai also has them, and I think I'll show them to you sooner or later, so you can watch them first."

Xia Kaikai thanked him, chatted and arrived at the parking lot without realizing it, and kept sending people into the car before turning around.When the people walked away, Xia Kaikai put the business card and tickets together in his trousers bag, without looking at them again.

He is very clear about what he should strive for in this life. Since he didn't intend to become a professional dancer from the beginning, then don't be distracted. One-heartedness is the key to success.

……

For the next morning's training, the training team opened two practice rooms, where ice dancing and pair skating were practiced separately.

The designated event for ice dance in the new season is tango, and you need to be familiar with the dance type and practice the pattern.On the pair skating side, you have to start the pair rotation and lifting exercises, and you can't do it together at all.

Ni Bai had already sent them the drawings of the pattern dance last night, but everyone didn't understand the dance steps at all, and it was useless to look at them, so we still have to wait for Ni Bai's explanation today.

Ni Bai said: "I'll say it again from the beginning, and only once, everyone listen carefully."

"Ice dance is the same as other events. It is divided into short program and free skating. Let's let go of free skating first. The focus in the early stage is the short program. What is the short program of ice dance? You should have known it. 2 minutes 50 seconds up and down 10 In the floating time of seconds, you need to complete two pattern dances, one dance lift, one twirling step combination and one set of step sequence in the whole program."

"What is a pattern dance?" Ni Bai opened the A4 paper in his hand and tapped it, "This is a pattern dance. It is stipulated that the shape of the dance steps on the ice, where it starts and where it ends, is detailed. label."

"From the beginning of the figure to the end of the figure, a circle is formed on the ice. This time the pattern dance has a total of 49 steps. The patterns in your current issue are generally wavy lines, which are more evenly distributed and belong to relatively slippery figures. .”

"The graphics obtained by the male partner and the female partner are basically the same, and the difference is in the small label."

"Okay, let's take a closer look. You should have found the numbers from 49 to [-] on the graph, right?"

"In the whole graph, there are four key points in total, four for the male partner and four for the female partner. Don't think that as long as you skate your own key points, it is enough. From the beginning of the dance, the partners are a whole. Can you successfully complete the key points?" The point is to cooperate with each other and assist each other to complete..."

"The first paragraph, steps 1-27."

"Key point 1, female partner 8-10 steps."

"Key point 2, the male partner takes 8-10 steps."

"Key point 3, female partner 16-24 steps."

"Key point 4, the male partner takes 16-25 steps."

"Second paragraph, steps 28-49."

"Key point 1, female partner 29-31 steps."

"Key point 2, female companion 35a-37b."

"Key point 3, male companion 35a-37b."

"Key point 4, female partner 44-45 steps."

"That is, these eight key points will become the key to your rating. Starting from level 4, if the graphic interruption does not exceed 4 beats, it will be lowered by one level. If it exceeds 75 beats, but completes more than [-]% of the steps, it will be lowered again. level one."

"Wrong steps, wrong rhythm, and wrong movements will all be deducted points in terms of level standards."

"What does it mean?"

Ni Bai tapped the paper, raised his volume, and said loudly: "The corresponding figure in this picture! Number of steps! Number of times! Position and music rhythm! One! One! Both! No! Yes! Change!"

"Learn! Learn! Practice! Practice! Thousands of times! Use your brain to memorize, use your body to memorize! Only when you complete this pattern 100% can you get the level you want."

"Okay, let's look at the gestures next..."

As Ni Bai said this, a group of selected players hurriedly wrote and drew in their notebooks.

Xia Kaikai sat behind the crowd empty-handed, but was very conspicuous, just staring at Ni Bai.

When Ni Bai reached the eighth step, he couldn't bear it anymore, "Xia Kaikai, have you memorized it already?"
