Chapter 12: Array Dance (2)
Elizabeth then asked Lauren and William to demonstrate the dance steps. The steps of the Ranks-and-Dances are actually not complicated, and most students learn them within a few minutes.
Elizabeth then lined up the boys and girls in two long lines, led by William and Lauren, respectively. When dancing, each pair of students needs to cooperate with each other to complete a set of dance steps, and then exchange dance partners.
As everyone became familiar with the dance, the boys and girls were divided into an array of eight men and eight women, and danced to the accompaniment of the band.
At first, the young boys and shy girls still had serious faces, politely holding hands with their partners, and moving their rusty dance steps, spinning and dancing with the music. Before you know it, almost all of the more than 100 freshmen have taken turns to change dance partners, and everyone has gradually become acquainted.
At this time, some students were sweating, the boys took off their obstructive blazers and ties, and only wore handsome trousers with light-colored shirts, while the girls didn't seem to be so awkward in their dancing steps in high heels, and their smiles became brighter and brighter.
Later, everyone formed a big circle in the gymnasium, with boys in the outer circle and girls in the inner circle, talking and laughing while jumping, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.
In the dancing crowd, most of the girls had light-colored hair and delicate faces like lilies, however, they were too imaginary to tell which one was who, on the contrary, Bai Xinrui, the black-haired girl, stood out in the crowd.
Gradually, the frustration of being crushed by her appearance disappeared, and she raised her swan-like neck again.
The music sounded again, and when Bai Xinrui handed her hand to the tall and handsome senior William, William lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand in a playful and friendly manner.
In her history of puberty love, which was a headache for her mother, and a little complicated and confusing, she had never met such a perfect boy: his face was so handsome, and the gods of the Greek statues were to be eclipsed before him; His smile was so clean, and it seemed that the mundane things never seemed to enter his eyes or mess with his heart; His manners were so noble, imbued with a perennial good education, that he was the true gentleman of a young gentleman in New England.
Bai Xinrui's heart beat like a drum as the two danced, but despite this, her eyes still followed William's Apollo-like glorious face like a small flame, greedily enveloping William's bright light brown eyes, a towering straight nose and a lovely ripple at the corner of her mouth when she smiled...... In the middle of a staggered spin, the slight smell of perfume on William's shirt made her feel dizzy.
Seeing that the song was about to end, and the male god was staggered, Bai Xinrui was a little anxious.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and said to William, "I'm sorry, William, I haven't learned this dance step yet, can you take me with you again?" ”
Mr. William nodded and said, "Very willingly." ”
In order not to prevent other students from changing dance partners, William deliberately brought Xinrui to the center of the circle, deliberately slowed down the dance steps, and explained while cooperating with the little girl's dance.
Bai Xinrui began to learn dance systematically at the age of five, proficient in ballet, jazz, Latin and modern dance, at the age of eleven or twelve, she began to mix in various nightclubs to make handsome guys, dancing has always been her specialty, how can such a simple array dance steps not be learned? It's just that her little brain is unwilling to dance with William with others, and she is bent on keeping the tall and handsome senior by her side.
With William's hand-in-hand and patient guidance, Bai Xinrui was in a good mood, she sometimes rotated, sometimes turned around and smiled at William, but she always did not forget that at the critical moment, she made a mistake by one or two beats, and occasionally pretended to be unstable on her feet, William subconsciously tightened her arms, and Bai Xinrui took this opportunity to stay in his arms for a while.
"Am I a little stupid?" Bai Xinrui asked softly.
William smiled generously and said, "No, Stella, you are very talented. ”
Bai Xinrui's slender body was like a vine, half coquettish and half tricky, and William had to dance with her one after another. There were already girls in the array who couldn't see it, and glared at Bai Xinrui angrily, but she didn't care, and took advantage of William's inattention, raising her beautiful face to make a face at those girls.
Before the music of the next piece sounded, Lauren came to William and Bai Xinrui with a series of beautiful spins, and she said to William: "You are really a layman when you teach dance, otherwise, how can our clever elementary school girl learn from you for so long, or can't learn?" Get out of the way, I'll teach her. ”
Lauren's words clearly relieved William, and he still nodded politely and thoughtfully to the two before turning to leave.
Bai Xinrui was reluctant again, she stood in place in disappointment, staring at William's distant back.
At this time, the ancient and cheerful music sounded again, and Lauren took Bai Xinrui's hand and jumped up. Lauren is a head taller than Bai Xinrui, dancing the boy's dance steps looks very handsome, and from time to time skillfully makes a few difficult trick dance steps, Bai Xinrui closely follows the rhythm of the senior sister, and the two cooperate seamlessly.
Lauren smiled and complimented her, "Stella, you're dancing so well." It's a demonstration for everyone. ”
Bai Xinrui smiled dryly and said, "It's a good senior sister...... Well...... Senpai, I'll jump...... You can go back to the team. ”
Lauren said, "Okay, if there's anything else you can't do, feel free to find me......"
As he spoke, the two stepped on the rhythm of the music and blended into the array of students in a large circle.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Xinrui's dance partner was replaced by Jiang Ruichen. Chenchen's dance steps were very clumsy, shackling Bai Xinrui's flexible toes all the time, making her almost fall every time, Bai Xinrui instantly returned to reality from her heart just now, and her good mood was all gone, she glared at Chenchen angrily while dancing, and whispered: "Jiang Ruichen, look at it, don't step on people's feet!" I've never seen someone as stupid as you! ”。
Chen Chen looked sorry, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't lose your temper, it's okay, I'm also jumping for the first time." ”
At this time, Bai Xinrui noticed that in another circle queue not far away, William gently took Luo Yuyou's hand. Luo Yuyou's dance steps were light and her waist was soft, and William danced steadily to match her.
I saw his arm lightly, the girl spun away from the crook of his arm, the wide skirt flew up, like a blooming white lotus, the two were suddenly separated by a few feet, and the rhythm, William took Yu You's hand with a slight force, and she spun back into his arm several beautiful times in a row.
William looked at Yu You with approval on his face, and at the end of the song, he gently lifted the slender Yu You, spun around in the air and put it down steadily, causing a burst of cheers around him.
Bai Xinrui felt a burst of anger inexplicably, and when the next song sounded, her dance partner stood in place, looking at the pair of beautiful people, and forgot to let go of her hand, Bai Xinrui pouted and shouted: "Annoying Jiang Ruichen, you should let go." ”
