So for three summers, I danced in the dam dance team near my aunt's house.
The year before last and the year before that, they danced in a square near a high school. Paid $25 a year in dues. New dances are taught every Friday night. Participate in the dance, more people, the leader of the dance is also more. The captain who teaches the new dances teaches back and forth and in all directions every Friday. Basically every Friday night a new dance is learned. Because everyone learns fast. Any direction you turn, you can see the moves of the people who can dance. (Unlike some teams, only the people in the front can dance. When you turn to the back, it's just people who don't know how to dance.)
In this middle school neighborhood, the year before last, I paid my dues for half a year. The year before last, I paid half a year's dues, because it was a one-time payment for a year's worth of dues. The year before last, I paid half a year's dues at once.
The year before last, I thought I would only jump for two months, so I didn't pay. I'm sorry to go every day. I'm sorry to go every day, but I just go to the dance once in a while.
Last year, I was embarrassed to go to the free dance. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. The team under the bridge jumped. But this team at least sixty, seventy, seventy, eighty, ninety people. But there were only one or two dancers in the lead. I stood at the back and could hardly see the movements of the leaders. I could only see some of the body movements of the lead dancers.
And it is. Every Wednesday, we teach a new dance. Every time I teach a new dance, I can't learn it. It's not that difficult. The key is that I can't see how to teach. Although it is also taught on all sides. But some aunts who don't know how to do it, wherever the person who teaches the dance stands, she will follow and run to wherever.
So for the next few months, I don't go to school on Wednesdays. Anyway, after everyone learned, I went on Thursdays and just danced after the doctor's sister in front of me. (Last year, under the bridge, I saw the doctor sister standing in the penultimate row of movement is very standard, also dance very well, so every time I stand behind her. She works the old day shift at the township hospital and her husband is a township school teacher. She started dancing under the bridge in September 2020. Her kids are working. Didn't ask her if they were sons or daughters. (Afraid she'll think I'm gossiping and have other things on my mind.)
Because under the bridge is paid monthly. The first of the month to pay three yuan. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to. The doctor's sister paid half a year. And they are all single dances, all folk dances and classical dances. I decided to pay a month to dance a month under the bridge.
And the doctor's sister every day together on the same road home.
There was also an aunt who was a hostel manager at the university. I got on better with both of them.
Under the bridge, next to or behind the doctor's sister, there was initially a well-built aunty. Initially when I went there, every time she gave me a place and asked me to stand next to her. Then after some time she saw that I was not walking well. She stopped talking to me. She even ignored me when I approached her to talk to her. Even when I was going home on the same road with my doctor sister, well-built etc aunts, the well-built aunts ignored me.
In the dam dance song, there is a lyric called 'no one is RMB, everyone likes'.
Yes! I don't walk well and I'm sick. Being disliked, I don't have to pay attention.
In fact, the square dance near the middle school, met several aunts and sisters. I haven't been there for a few years, and when I see them on the street, I still greet them warmly.
Even the gym team that went to the dance the night before last, and this evening shopping at the night market, met Jiuniang and 'housewife', also greeted with a smile.
