The grassy area that Yuan Bao chose in the park was like a stage that belonged to him.
She warmed up a bit, stretched her muscles, and then began to dance lightly as the music playing on her phone started.
At first, Yuan Bao recalled the dance moves to the music, and gradually, her movements became more and more skillful.
Her dance moves were graceful and fluid, each movement full of power and rhythm, making it both beautiful and comfortable to watch.
At first, people around just hurried by and didn't pay much attention.
But gradually, Yuan Bao's highly infectious dance attracted the attention of some people.
A young mother was walking briskly with her child, holding the child's hand, when the child suddenly stopped, stared intently at Yuan Bao, and exclaimed, "Mommy, look at that auntie dancing, she's so beautiful!"
The young mother was also drawn in and stopped to watch, her eyes full of admiration. She whispered, "Yes, Auntie dances so well. Baby, you should be like Auntie and persevere in doing what you love."
Not far away, several elderly people who were practicing Tai Chi also stopped what they were doing and slowly walked over.
One of the elderly women remarked, "This young woman's dance reminds me of myself when I was young, full of energy, it's wonderful."
An elderly man nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes! Youth is so energetic."
Soon, a small circle of people surrounded Yuan Bao, all quietly admiring the scene without making a sound, afraid of ruining this beautiful moment.
Quiet exclamations of admiration could be heard from the crowd from time to time.
A young man carrying a drawing board was deeply moved by Yuan Bao's dance. He quickly set up his drawing board, picked up his paintbrush, and tried to capture this beautiful moment on the paper.
At this moment, some people in the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
A young man wearing a baseball cap remarked, "Hey! This auntie's dance is so different from the square dancing on that platform over there."
Looking in the direction he was pointing, on a platform in the distance, a group of people were dancing square dance in unison, with simple and repetitive movements and a lively and loud music rhythm.
Another middle-aged woman chimed in: "That's right, square dancing is all about being lively and organized, and it's a way for everyone to get some exercise."
The dance this girl is performing, while the moves themselves aren't particularly difficult, each movement has a unique charm.
A young woman with an artistic flair pushed up her glasses and added, "That's right. Square dancing is more about general fitness, but it focuses more on personal expression. It requires a high level of skill and emotional control, making it more entertaining to watch."
Everyone chatted amongst themselves, but their eyes remained fixed on Yuan Bao's figure.
As Yuan Bao's dance drew to a close, enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd. Yuan Bao bowed slightly shyly to express her gratitude, but her heart was filled with joy. She knew that her dance had not only brought her happiness but had also touched those around her.
Riding on this wave of enthusiasm, Yuan Baoqing cleared his throat and raised his voice, saying, "Hello everyone! I see many uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and children watching quite intently. If anyone is interested in the dance I'm performing and wants to learn it, I can teach you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded.
The young mother who had previously praised Yuan Bao's eyes lit up and said first, "Really? My child has been watching you intently, he loves it! It would be wonderful if he could learn from you! Honey, would you like to learn to dance with Auntie?"
The little girl nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Several elderly people started whispering among themselves. One sprightly old man said, "Although I'm old and my bones are stiff, seeing how well you dance, I'd like to try it out and loosen up my muscles. I wonder if that's alright?"
Yuan Bao quickly replied with a smile, "Sir, of course! Dancing is for all ages. As long as you're interested, I'll definitely teach you patiently."
The young man carrying the drawing board was also somewhat tempted. He scratched his head and said, "I just like art and I think dancing can improve my temperament, but I don't have any foundation and I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it well."
Yuan Bao encouraged him, "It's okay, even if you have no prior knowledge, it's perfectly fine. As long as you're willing to learn, I'll start teaching you from the very basics."
For a moment, everyone chimed in, expressing their own interests.
Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Yuan Bao was filled with joy. She knew that the first step in forming a dance team had been taken.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Yuan Bao quickly began the lesson.
She first led everyone in physical exercises, starting with simple head rotations and shoulder circles, then moving on to waist twists and leg stretches.
While demonstrating, he patiently explained: "Everyone, move slowly and feel the muscles stretch. Let's warm up our bodies first to avoid injury later."
Everyone imitated earnestly, trying their best to keep up with the rhythm. Although their movements were not synchronized, they all learned with complete concentration.
After the warm-up, Yuan Bao began teaching basic dance steps.
She first demonstrated, her light steps moving as smoothly as flowing water, drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd.
Then, she slowed down and broke down the movements step by step: "Look, first step out with your left foot, lightly touch the ground with your heel, then place your foot firmly on the ground, then shift your weight to your right foot, and make sure your knee is slightly bent to maintain your balance."
A young woman was imitating the movements very well, but the uncle next to her kept moving his hands and feet in unison, which made the people around them laugh.
The uncle chuckled to himself, "Oh dear, why are my hands and feet so unresponsive!"
Yuan Bao smiled and walked over, gently holding the uncle's arms and legs, and slowly moving him: "Uncle, don't rush, let's do it again. Move your left hand first, and then your right foot at the same time." With Yuan Bao's help, the uncle gradually got the hang of it.
Next, we will teach hand movements.
Yuan Bao gracefully raised and stretched his arms, like a swan swaying its neck: "The hands should be soft, like gliding in the water, full of rhythm."
The little girl who came with her mother was very focused on learning, stretching her little hands out, but because her movements were not quite right, it looked a bit funny.
Yuan Bao squatted down and gently corrected him: "Sweetie, straighten your arm a little more, yes, that's it, you did a great job!"
When the children were praised, their eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and they practiced even more enthusiastically.
During the learning process, some people performed the movements correctly and received praise from Yuan Bao, their faces beaming with pride; others made frequent mistakes, sweating profusely, and Yuan Bao would constantly encourage them.
The atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy as everyone was so engrossed in the dance that they didn't notice the passage of time.
Under Yuan Bao's careful guidance, the group gradually went from being flustered to becoming more organized and skillful, and their movements began to show some of the charm of dance.
Yuan Bao glanced at his wrist without thinking and was surprised to find that a long time had passed.
She smiled at the group of people who were still engrossed in their dance lessons and raised her voice, saying, "Everyone has been very focused today and has made great progress! Learning dance is a gradual process, so please don't rush. As long as you persevere, you will definitely get better and better."
She paused briefly, her eyes filled with anticipation, "We'll meet here again at the same time tomorrow, and I'll teach you all some new moves. Everyone has to come!"
Everyone nodded, their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation, filled with hope for tomorrow's dance lesson.
