The story of me and dance

When I was 4 and a half years old, I went to the Beijing Dance Academy to learn Chinese dance. There were a lot of people who signed up for their children to learn dance at the dance academy. Some people even queued up to get a number after 4 a.m. Last year, I missed registration time. There was a dance class in kindergarten, but my parents did not sign me up. I had opinions on this. I had repeatedly asked to learn dance. I saw what other children learned, and I wanted to learn it. Learning dance at the Beijing Dance Academy was enough of a wish.

Beijing Dance Academy is the only institution of higher learning for professional dance education in China, as well as the largest prestigious dance school with comprehensive concentrations in the world. It is known as “the cradle of dancers”.

I studied here very seriously. I sometimes hummed the tunes played in the dance class when I went home. I liked pink dance practice clothes, white pantyhose, and a pair of dance shoes. I learned to dance with the children, and I was very happy. Because sometimes I didn't know what to do and couldn't play alone, it was annoying. (lol) I had practiced dance here for two years. I could do splits, rear bridge movements, and other dance moves. In kindergarten, I participated in the kindergarten dance performance.

It was very helpful for me to join the elementary school dance troupe too. When I was in the second grade of elementary school, the elementary school dance troupe recruited new members, and many classmates signed up. The teacher would conduct a physical test for each student. The test items were splits and rear bridge movement. In the end, only two people passed the test, including me. Many students who were not selected were sad and cried. Those exam movements were too difficult for them. needed to be practiced from an early age. Even though I practiced dancing when I was 4 years and a half old, it was very difficult too. My teacher or a classmate would sit on my legs to stretch my ligaments. Sometimes tears flowed from the pain. When practicing leg presses, there would be crying in the classroom. Many children gave up dancing exercises at this stage.

Later, I danced in the dance troupe of my elementary school for another 4 years and participated in many performances. When the dance troupe performed at graduation, the school even rented a theater for the performance. In addition, on behalf of the school, I also participated in the recording of CCTV's Children's Day large-scale performance, and the TV program was broadcast on the evening of June 1st, International Children's Day.

During my dance studies, I learned to persevere through the hard training of basic skills. During dance practice, I understood the importance of rhythmic coordination between dance movements and music. I express my emotions through dance movements. I have experienced the expression of beauty in dance movements. The pursuit of beauty had also affected my taste in life. I pursued beautiful affairs and benefited the common good.
