My family has been living in a group of buildings in the sugar factory in the western suburbs of Jiacheng for three years.

One evening a year later, my husband and I went out for a stroll, only to find that the evening in this area was a boiling scene.

On the friendship road in front of the buildings, cars come and go, like shuttling busy.

The stores in front of the building are all kinds of business, and the front of the house is full of people, some eating and drinking, some wandering around, and some selling goods, which is different from the daytime.

On the north side of the road in front of the building, there was a team of more than 100 people doing exercises, and my husband and I came to the drill team curiously.

The front half of this team is wearing one-color white clothes and pants, and the second half is a variety of different dresses.

Look at them doing exercises, those movements, I've never seen them before.

The movements of their hands and feet, of course, are very coordinated, and if you look closely, the movements of their hands and feet are both like radio exercises and not radio exercises, like dancing and not dancing, to be precise, they are the product of the combination of gymnastics and dance.

However, it gives me a feeling of beauty, and besides, the song is playing.

At the time, I didn't know what the name of the action was.

In the summer of 2012, I went out with my husband again, and in the evening, there was still a lively scene in front of the buildings.

Of course, I still remembered the teams I had seen in the same way that they were still there and still doing.

I became interested in this kind of activity, which seemed to be a drill and a dance, and I also wanted to do it in the team.

However, I was a little hesitant in my heart, I hadn't done it myself, I was afraid of making a fool of myself, and after a struggle of thoughts, I still went to the end of the team and followed the comparison.

I still hold the pipa in my heart and half cover my face, most of the movements can keep up, and there are a few more complicated ones that can't keep up, the main thing is that I haven't found the feeling yet.

To do this kind of exercise, it is not a "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" password, but to play beautiful songs.

After doing it for a while, I realized its password, which is the beat in the song, and the accompaniment of the song has a distinct rhythm, and the person who does the exercise must have a sense of music, and be able to hear the rhythm of the song, that is, to step on the "point".

After doing this time, I didn't do it again.

Later, I heard that this kind of exercise and dancing is still a gymnastics after all, but it just has the flavor of dance.

Gradually, I heard that the name of this movement, the common people called it "Zombie Dance".

In April 2013, my husband proposed to join this exercise team.

So, my husband and I officially joined the team to do the exercises.

In the prelude before the exercise, I heard the name of this exercise: Jiamusi happy dance step aerobics.

Soon, I searched for information about this kind of gymnastics on the computer, and I had a preliminary understanding of it, and my heart was no longer foggy.

I also had a preliminary understanding of the dance step drill team we participated in.

In the whole Jiacheng, there are too many such dance step drill teams, and all cities in the province are doing this kind of exercise.

Our dance step drill team first appeared in March 2011.

Its founder is a lady with the surname Pan, whose name is unknown.

I once asked Ms. Pan, "Why do you want to organize exercises?"

Ms. Pan said indifferently: "It's just playing." ”

Ms. Pan's words, as I understand them, are to engage in gymnastics activities and exercise.

Ms. Pan, of medium height, in her fifties, lives at home with two daughters and one man.

In the beginning, Ms. Poon took advantage of her youngest daughter's supermarket to connect the electricity and play music on a small audio device, but there were only six people at the time.

They do this dance step exercise in front of the building group every evening, more and more people watch, people gradually join the team to do exercises, and then, the team continues to expand, not only women, but also men, old, young, middle-aged, and even children join, like a snowball, more and more, the team expanded to more than 100 people.

Soon, Ms. Pan's in-laws spent more than 4,000 yuan to buy this set of high-end audio equipment, which was specially used for Ms. Pan's dance exercises.

This high-end audio equipment, the songs played, it is loud and vigorous, very good, people hear such a sound, the beauty of the heart is stronger, and the interest in doing it is stronger.

At first, it was Ms. Pan's one-person organization, and every day when it was time for her to do exercises, she and others would push the high-end audio equipment from the warehouse where it was stored to the place where the exercises were done, and then they would push the high-end audio equipment back after they were done.

In this way, they persevered for more than two years, all year round, every day, except, of course, rainy and snowy days.

This kind of dance step aerobics is not only one set, but in 2012, it has developed to the fifth set.

This ever-changing dance step drill is first learned by a few young ladies and then comes back to teach everyone.

Since I joined, I've improved it twice:

The first time was in August, mainly the improvement of the fifth set, with more than a dozen new movements added, and some changes in the songs, but this time it became very nice and good-looking, as if the dance was stronger.

The second time, at the end of October, was the introduction of the sixth set, a total of twelve stanzas, with great changes, movements and compositions. There are a few movements, which are more complicated, and people with high IQ don't care, but it's a bit difficult for people with general IQ.

There were four younger ladies who learned it first, and then, everyone followed them, and they also gave some explanations to everyone.

These four coaches are all enthusiastic, but they lack explanations and demonstrations of difficult movements.

In addition to Ms. Pan being the organizer, there seems to be a leader in our dance step drill team, an old man surnamed Song, and a middle-aged man surnamed Chen, but their actions are not very clear.

In this team, the personnel who do the exercises are not fixed, some people insist on it every day, some people fish for three days and dry their nets for two days, some people are invisible, but there are some people who come later.

Although it is said that the movements of the exercise are all unified, the postures made are very different.

Some people have good movements and beautiful postures, some people have poor movements and ugly postures, and most of them are in place and their postures are generalized.

There are a few people who don't even have a minimum sense of music, they can't step on it, or they can't step on it, and the posture they make is also ugly, however, they still come every day and always insist on it, which shows that their love for this dance step exercise, this kind of physical exercise is still commendable.

This kind of team, it is still big and good-looking, sometimes, three big ladies are headed, and their postures are very good-looking, but they can't insist on coming every day.

There are also people who like to hit the head very much, and even if they don't get the head, they won't do it, and some people don't want to start the head, and everyone has it.

Sometimes, Ms. Pan, Mr. Chen, the yellow-haired girl and the little lady in the coach, also organize everyone to align the front and back, left and right in the process of doing exercises, so that the whole team is neatly formed, which is very right, it can't be a mess.

In July, there was a car accident on the road, and the location of the exercise was moved to the westernmost building, which was newly built, and none of the stores were sold, no one came to do business, and there were no lights at night. There is only one store room in which there is a sales office, called "Jiayuan Sales Office".

The audio equipment is connected from the room in the sales office of this Jiayuan.

Of course, our dance step drill team was spontaneously organized by the masses, so no one gave funds, and the main fund was electricity.

This electricity bill, one is the need for audio equipment, and the other is the need for electric lights.

Ms. Pan and the others decided to pay for two lights.

Before that, I had received money once in September, two yuan per person, and this time I wanted to buy a lamp, five yuan per person.

However, after talking for several days, it was collected for several days, and only forty people paid, and many people did not come when they heard that the money was collected, and some came, but did not pay.

There was no way, the seventy-eight-year-old Song Tou took out a hundred yuan by himself to buy two lamps and install them.

It seems that the quality of some citizens is too poor, and a total of seven yuan is charged, is it too much?

This kind of organization is a voluntary action of Ms. Pan, and there are also several other organizers, what are they trying to do? The hard work they have paid is to serve everyone, and there is no remuneration, but how many people can understand them and understand their affection?

Really, some people's hearts are not ancient!

And Ms. Pan and others are really benefiting one party, and their spirit is commendable!

There was no money to pay the electricity bill to the sales office of Jiayuan, and the people refused to answer the electricity under the pretext.

Ms. Pan took the electricity from her daughter's house, and her eldest daughter lived above the sales office of Jiayuan.

Ms. Pan, what a good person, that's it, she still persists, it's commendable.

Now, there are only about 40 people in our dance step drill team, but we still hold on.

We go to the door of the Jiayuan sales office every night to do dance drills, and it is the latest sixth set!
