Experience of learning to dance square dance

I have been learning to dance square dance intermittently for almost a year. I haven't learned much dance, and my dance style is somewhat different, but I am very touched.

In fact, I have always been a homesick person. Besides going to work, I like reading books, playing mobile phones and brushing my circle of friends in the dormitory. But every day, the songs on the dance floor are very loud, and they also stir a nerve of mine. So I thought, should I learn to dance square dance?

When I was afraid to go out and try at first, I naively thought that I could imitate the video on my mobile phone and study quietly in the dormitory. But after a week of persistence, I felt boring. First, the mobile video is not immersive and intuitive enough, and the imitation progress is too slow; Second, without a partner, there is no mutual restraint and no happiness; Third, the dormitory space is too small to enjoy playing. Therefore, I want to cherish the team and attach importance to the platform in everything I do.

So I had to bite the bullet and come to the dance floor. Looking at those dancing sisters, I not only appreciate their skillful movements, but also envy their graceful dancing. I am also eager to stand inside, but my hands and feet are too out of control. I feel that everyone is looking at me awkwardly and laughing at me. I am like an ugly duckling who has strayed into the swan flock, blushing, heartbroken and at a loss. So I quickly ran out of the group and stood by, and I didn't dare to try for ten days.

Forget it. I backed out and felt that I was not cut out for dancing. But dance music gets into my ears every night, which stimulates my nerves, makes me uneasy, makes my heart itch, and makes me have an impulse to go out. I know you can't learn to wait and see. You have to experience it yourself. I made up my mind to go my own way, and no one was watching. Even if I made a mistake when I was a beginner, I tried my best to imitate it calmly. Slowly, I also learned a few simple dances. From this, I realized the meaning of "never know this matter, and never do it". I also understand that no matter what you do, you can't care too much about other people's eyes. In fact, no one has time to pay attention to you. Even if there is, there must be a free and easy way to "go your own way and let others say it".

But because we have three shifts, we work the night shift every three weeks. It's more difficult to blend in after a week's night shift. I forgot all the dances I had learned, and it took me almost a day or two to get into the state. What's even funnier is that one of our dancing colleagues took a month off because of something at home, and when he came back, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm and forgot a lot of moves. I kept studying for nearly a week before I returned to my original state. It can be seen that if you want to do well, you must persevere. "Never leave your fist and your mouth" is the best way to do everything to the extreme. As Ouyang Xiu, an essayist in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Selling Oil Weng": "Oil comes from money, and money is not wet." "I have nothing but my hands." I'm talking about the truth that practice makes perfect.

Some of my dancing companions insist, some have not learned to escape after studying for a few days, some are newcomers, and some come regularly every day. There were several gentle dance collars at first, and then there were two very active dance collars. Jumping is really beautiful, which really highlights the significance of this jumping word in dance. So everyone jumped up excitedly, and the atmosphere of the whole dance floor was much more active than before. So I thought, people's imitation ability is too strong, so it is very important to say that teachers are very important and who they are with is very important. And children's imitation ability is stronger, so parents' words and deeds are more important.

Look at me, I have been learning square dance for almost a year. Although my dancing is not beautiful, I have exercised my body, enjoyed my mood and got some inspiration in my thoughts by kicking, shrugging, jumping, twisting my waist and turning in circles. Colleagues, do you have a heart? Action is better than action, so join in! But readers, don't laugh at me, hahaha. ...
