【Masquerade Ball-03】

Yu Xin quickly finished the action of the whole song and kept it all in her heart.

Next comes the formation and practice. In the Dance Academy, she often organizes classmates to rehearse dances and participate in various school celebration performances, so she is familiar with the work of "dance coach".

To teach people to dance, the most important thing is to let people remember the movements of each piece of dance, pick out the details, lay a solid foundation, and master all the pieces, and then follow the rhythm of the music from beginning to end to connect all the pieces of dance in series , Repeated practice, over and over again, to form muscle memory, then the performance will not go wrong.

But at present I have encountered a troublesome problem - the dance steps of the waltz are divided into male steps and female steps. There are 8 of them, of which 3 men and 3 women can be partners. The rest of the stars and peace, how to follow the partners in the dance sample Jump?

It would be weird to have one of them jump straight into the women's step.

Because, for dance costumes like the waltz, women wear large skirts that are layered on top of each other. When they rotate, they bloom like stamens. You can't let Xingwen or Pingce wear women's clothes instead, right? Can the two handsome guys agree?

Yu Xin was struggling, and Yue Xingwen noticed that her brows were frowning, so she took the initiative to come to her side: "Senior Sister Yu, if there is any difficulty, you can say it directly, we will try our best to cooperate with you."

Yu Xin said frankly: "Xingwen, you have also discovered that this waltz, because it is a duet with men and women, the dance sample given to us by the library is also 4 men and 4 women, which means that you and Pingce are one of them. To dance the women's step."

Yue Xingwen said with a smile: "I know this. When I was learning dance with Ping Ce, I tried to skip the women's steps, and we all know a little about the women's steps. It shouldn't be difficult to learn it again."

Yu Xin frowned: "However, the library let us perform live at the New Year's party, and we will definitely have uniform costumes at that time. You have also seen the waltz dance costumes. Would you two like to wear this kind of big skirt?"

Yue Xingwen: "..."

Jiang Pingce: "..."

In the dance sample, the women are all wearing skirts, and the large skirts will spread out as they rotate, like blooming flowers, and the visual effect is particularly good. But thinking of putting on such a complicated dress, Yue Xingwen's scalp tingles. Let Jiang Pingce wear it, he even dare not think about it, it is estimated that Pingce's face in the skirt will freeze into ice cubes.

Yue Xingwen couldn't help but complain: "I don't mind wearing women's clothes once, but this kind of costume is easy to trip over. If I fall down on the stage, wouldn't it all be smashed?"

Liu Zhaoqing laughed and said, "It's hard to imagine Xingwen and Pingce wearing women's clothes."

Seeing Yue Xingwen frowning with a tangled face, Jiang Pingce suddenly stepped forward and said, "Can the dance be adapted?"

Yu Xin was stunned for a while, her eyes lit up: "Yes, we are participating in a theatrical performance this time, not a dance competition. The library only provides us with a dance demo, and we can completely modify some details!" She turned to look at The big screen asked, "Can we have 5 sets of men's clothes and 3 sets of women's clothes?"

The library said: "The dance can be modified, but the effect of the modified version is not necessarily better than the original version. The system will grade it according to everyone's performance during the performance. The risk is high, please consider carefully before making a decision."

Yu Xin said simply: "Let's change, Xingwen and Pingce lead the dance, and both of them should wear men's clothes."

Yue Xingwen was very resistant to wearing women's clothes psychologically, and she didn't want to make herself so strange in front of Ping Ce. Yu Xin was willing to change the choreography. Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically, "Excuse me."

Yu Xin smiled and said: "It's not troublesome, just the actions of the two of you, it doesn't take much to adapt."

After deciding to adapt, Yu Xin simply deleted some difficult movements with a large number of rotations. In her opinion, instead of pursuing visual beauty, it is better to seek stability. After all, they don't need to get high marks in this exam, they just want to pass the test.

It is more important to dance the whole song smoothly than to fall on the stage because the movement is too difficult.

After rethinking her ideas, Yu Xin began to teach separately.

She asked, "Who does Xingwen and Pingce dance the women's step?"

Yue Xingwen took the initiative to stand up and said frankly: "Come on, Pingce is a little taller than me, and it will be very strange for him to do such movements as rotation and lowering of the waist."

Yu Xin nodded: "Then I'll teach the female steps first, and start from scratch." She turned to look at Xu Yishen, "Junior Brother Xu, please take a look at the male steps, and let's learn the simple steps first."

Xu Yishen also learned the waltz, Yu Xin arranged a task for him, and he happily agreed.

The dance room was soon divided into two groups and began to study. From time to time, the voices of Yu Xin and Xu Yishen could be heard——

"This set of movements is a cycle of advancing, traversing, and synchronizing the feet. The rhythm is clicked, and the three beats are in groups. The movements of the feet are always like this. We will not add the movements on the hands first, and practice the dance steps."

"After the first slalom is over, the second slalom needs to change feet. Note that the center of gravity is switched between the two feet in turn. The center of gravity falls on our feet for a very short time, giving the body a tall, straight and light feeling."

"Ankles, soles, and toes should form smooth lines, the body should be straight up, and the toes should be on the ground..."

Yu Xin is very serious. A movement has to be practiced several times. The other students are also very cooperative and correct it over and over again until Yu Xin thinks it has passed the test. Some seemingly simple movements even need to be practiced more than ten times. Showing the slightest impatience.

This is much stricter than the original dance training class.

In just a few minutes, the classmates were already sweating, Yu Xin looked at everyone and said, "Take a break, we only have 3 days, and the dance is changed to be different from the demo in the library, which will definitely lower the clearance score. ."

Xu Yi said with a deep smile: "It's okay, I think the previous version was too difficult. Although the basic score has been lowered after the revision, we have a high degree of completion, and the final score may not necessarily be bad."

Liu Zhaoqing echoed: "That's right, you can pass 60 points. If you pass 70 or 80, it's a surprise. We don't lack that point now.

With the understanding of the classmates, Yu Xin also relaxed a lot and continued to teach everyone to practice dance patiently.

On the first day, everyone spent their time practicing dance steps repeatedly. They just ate instant noodles for dinner, took a nap in the rest area arranged by the library, and got up again at 7:00 in the morning to practice.

The next day, with the addition of hand movements and male and female dance steps, everyone's tacit understanding was very poor at first. If they stepped on each other's feet, or the two groups collided with each other, the situation occurred frequently, and Yu Xin patiently corrected everyone. , The seemingly simple dance steps, but when you really practice them, everyone realizes how stiff their bodies are!

After practiced, limbs became numb, and even felt that hands and feet were out of order.

Yue Xingwen was lying on the floor so tired, Jiang Pingce walked over and sat beside him, handed him a bottle of water, and whispered, "This is the first time we have experienced such a high-intensity dance practice."

Yue Xingwen took a few sips of water and said helplessly: "It's too difficult, I found that compared to Yu Xin and the others, I danced by myself, as stiff as a piece of wood."

The corners of Jiang Pingce's lips lifted lightly, thinking to himself, not only do you dance like wood, but your mind is also a wood.

However, watching Xingwen was so tired that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and Jiang Pingce felt a little distressed. This guy has been a favorite since he was a child. He has never endured hardship in his studies. He only needs to endorse it once or twice. sin?

Yu Xin's requirements are strict, especially Yue Xingwen's dance steps have been changed a lot, so Xingwen has become her main target. She practiced the same movements over and over again. Yue Xingwen has no complaints. Practice until 3 am.

Jiang Pingce sighed in his heart and stretched out his hand to him: "Do you want to continue?"

Yue Xingwen frowned: "I lie down for another five minutes, and my legs are going to cramp. Teacher Yu Xin coached me to rest for 10 minutes. Alas, since I was a child, I experienced the treatment of being stared at by the teacher for the first time since I was a child."

Seeing his sullen appearance, Jiang Pingce thought for a while, and simply reached out and gently held his calf. The boy's slender finger movements gently massaged Yue Xingwen's leg muscles, Yue Xingwen squinted his eyes comfortably, and commanded rudely: "Go up, left, um... so comfortable..."

The corners of Jiang Pingce's lips lifted slightly, and his movements were more gentle.

He liked the way Xingwen was completely relaxed in front of him, like a big lazy cat with its belly spread out for the owner to knead.

After rubbing his left side, Jiang Pingce massaged his right leg again, his voice low and gentle: "Is it better?"

The boy's fingers were slender and strong, and the originally sore and stiff leg muscles were relieved a lot under his massage. Yue Xingwen opened his eyes to look at him, and smiled, "You're a good craftsman, full of blood and resurrection."

After speaking, he held Jiang Pingce's hand and stood up with a big smile: "Come on, keep practicing!"

Jiang Pingce took Yue Xingwen's hand back and said, "Okay, let's follow the music and walk again from the beginning."

The familiar "Vienna Woods Waltz" sounded, Jiang Pingce opened his legs and entered the dance floor with Yue Xingwen.

...

By the end of the second day of practice, everyone was able to dance the entire song smoothly.

On the last day, Yu Xin corrected some details from the beginning, deepened muscle memory, and asked everyone to pay attention to their positions. From the original stumbling, to the afternoon, the whole dance became like flowing clouds and water.

Yu Xin said: "Everyone, take a rest, we are going to perform in the evening, so you need to conserve your energy."

Everyone was finally able to rest well and went to sleep.

This night, everyone slept very deeply. They were woken up at 4:30 in the afternoon. Everyone came to the TV station ahead of time and changed into costumes under the guidance of the staff.

Boys are all tailored suits, girls are red dresses and silver high heels.

Moreover, the organizer also gave everyone a beautiful mask, covering only the parts above the eyes, with black and white feathers on the side of the mask. Jiang Pingce was black, and Yue Xingwen was white.

After the dressing was completed, everyone walked out of the locker room, and Yue Xingwen saw Jiang Pingce in the crowd from afar.

Although everyone wore the same clothes and masks, it was difficult to tell the difference, but he still recognized the person at a glance.

The eyes behind the mask are deep and cold, and this well-cut suit makes him tall and slender. Jiang Pingce, who had changed his clothes, was like a prince attending a noble dinner. His unique temperament caught Yue Xingwen's attention unconsciously.

Yue Xingwen greeted him with a smile: "The library is quite reliable. They sent us costumes. You are very handsome."

There was a hint of tenderness in Jiang Pingce's eyes: "You are also handsome."

He bowed slightly and extended his hand to Yue Xingwen in a gentlemanly manner, Yue Xingwen consciously put his hand in his palm, Jiang Pingce took Xingwen's hand, intertwined his fingers, and led Yue Xingwen to the preparation room .

Fingers intertwined?

Yue Xingwen was stunned for a moment. When he danced with Pingce before, he just put his hand in the other's palm politely. Everyone did this, and Yue Xingwen felt that it didn't matter. But now, isn't this holding hands too intimate?

Yue Xingwen's heartbeat stopped for half a beat, his ears were a little hot, and he whispered: "Pingce..."

Jiang Pingce gathered his five fingers, clenched his hand tighter, and explained in a low voice, "It's my first time performing on stage, I'm a little nervous, give me some encouragement."

Yue Xingwen said clearly: "Oh, it's okay, there is me!"

So, Yue Xingwen did not break free, but instead held Jiang Pingce's hand and gave him some encouragement. But he didn't know that Jiang Pingce, who said he was "nervous", curved the corners of his mouth slightly at this time, and a smile appeared in his eyes behind the mask.

After so many years, finally got Xingwen's hand.

It is the kind of intimate holding method of interlocking fingers between lovers. Thanks to the dance department for this course, he can hold Xingwen openly and openly, and the first step to realize his dream.

The author has something to say:

Pingce is still black-bellied, and the wood of Xingwen is about to be enlightened~

Music and dance are not the majors that the author is good at. The two copies are relatively simple, and they are considered as transitions. The next college will write more complicated courses!
