There must be no problem with the youthful struggle story between me and the horse racing girl

Then, a cheerful and light tune sounded, as if it could bring back memories of the past for everyone present.

When this song played, everyone understood why Xiaowan wanted to find someone to dance with.

"Turkey in the Straw"

Although this is an American folk song, it is widely popular in Japan, especially in the pas de deux of campus festivals in major schools.

Against the backdrop of the bonfire, the students formed a large circle in pairs and slowly danced to the music around the fireworks.

Swinging, swaying, the dance partners in the inner circle move with it. The rotating partners salute each other and hold hands to continue swaying to the dance music.

This is a scene engraved in Japanese campus memories——

After reacting to Wuyou's call, Wuyou called and stood behind Xiaowan, and reached out to hold Xiaowan's left hand very familiarly. Xiaowan's right hand raised to his shoulder was interlocked with Wuyou called's palm.

One by one, the small bay is on the right, and the call of Wuyou is on the left.

The two of them stepped out with their right foot in unison with the beat and swayed to the tune.

Move one foot forward, left and right, right and left, stop, close, advance, left and right, right and right...

Lift your left foot and do a slow stack step forward diagonally to the left——

Stepping on the beat, he hooked his feet and retreated, then Wuyou called out to get out of the way and raised his right hand, and Xiaowan also tacitly circled around the two interlocked right hands.

When the two faced each other, they held their right hands and leaned back while swinging their bodies, following the rhythm of Little Bay and Worry-free Calling. They seemed to be infected by the music, and they smiled invariably.

Xiaowan recalled the time in junior high school, her former classmates and the life at that time, not to mention Wuyou's call - she was with her two friends at the school festival last autumn. A good sister danced it, but now that I have graduated, I never thought I would have the opportunity to dance this dance again.

This simple but cheerful double dance is familiar to many people living in Japan, or perhaps each of them has danced it in their school days.

But for Wonderful Posture, Sylvie and Rong Jin Shining, this was their first time.

Looking at Xiaowan and Wuyouhuhu looking so cheerful.

Everyone present seemed to be affected by this atmosphere, especially the beautiful postures. They suddenly became interested and said to themselves excitedly: "What kind of dance is this? Is it a folk dance from Japan?"

"Folk dance isn't really considered...after all, the music is still an American folk song, right?"

Sylvie also expressed her own opinions on the side, but her understanding of Japanese customs is much shallower than that of Mei Ge.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Mi Yu quickly raised his hand to answer their questions: "This dance is a folk dance performed during events in our school."

"Country dance?"

The wonderful posture seemed to have thought of something, and he clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Ah! Could it be that it is the dance that everyone often dances around the bonfire in Japanese movies and TV dramas at school festivals? No wonder it feels familiar!"

Campus festival - night bonfire party - folk dance.

This is like a series of interconnected symbols. When talking about Japanese campus culture, this will definitely be mentioned.

"Well, that's it."

Mi Yu nodded, but looking at her appearance, she really didn't expect that Wonderful Posture actually knew this "custom" from film and television works.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wonderful Posture exclaimed with some anticipation: "Will there be a chance to try this when our college holds a campus festival? I'm really looking forward to it!"

"There should be a chance, right?"

"I see, is the foreign word in Japanese transliterated as folk dance? It seems that Japan has its own folk dance..."

Rong Jin Shining also nodded thoughtfully.

Watching the dance performed by the two people in the open space, it seemed as if it touched my own memories.

Folk dance can evoke people’s local feelings——

Not to mention these people who are studying in foreign countries.

Of course, this folk dance custom is more widely spread in Europe. In this regard, the beautiful postures and shining lights from Ireland and Germany must have more say.

After all, the term Folk Dance originated in Europe.

The dance was not too long. As the figure in the small bay turned, the two people let go at the same time and faced each other.

Although it is just a simple attempt, this joyful feeling can affect everyone present.

After the dance, everyone in the club gave them applause.

"It's amazing, Xiaowan."

Wuyou called and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, praising the other person sincerely.

"No, I just danced a simple folk dance that I learned in school, and Teacher Wuyou cooperated very well, allowing me to dance along with your time, teacher."

Wuyou Calling originally wanted to praise Xiaowan, but what she didn't expect was that Xiaowan would give the credit to her in just a few words.

"Xiaowan, please don't be modest. This dance was proposed by you. Although the steps of this dance are not complicated, it tests the dancer's basic skills. It is not difficult to see from your performance just now from Xiaowan, your body flexibility and The control of the rhythm is very good.”

“Also—everyone, please come and see us!”

Although it was an impromptu event like a dance talent show, in the final analysis it was the first dance class that she called out for worry-free.

Taking this opportunity, Wuyou Calling also has something that it wants to teach everyone.

She cleared her throat and introduced: "Since we danced this folk dance just now, it's time to talk about it. According to what Xiaowan dances, it is the 'ballroom dance' that everyone has basically learned in the academy. Everyone used to be in school. I must have danced it, so I would like to ask, does any of you know what the official name of this dance is?"

Everyone present looked at each other in shock when they heard this——

They had even danced this dance before in kindergarten, but they had never understood it.

Usually when talking about this, everyone uses the foreign word Folk Dance to refer directly to it, so they never think about this issue.

And Wuyou Calling raised this question through this dance with Xiaowan.

Seeing that no one could answer, Wuyou Calling immediately explained: "Just like this American country ballad, this folk dance was also introduced to Japan from the United States and spread there."

"In the Taisho Era of the last century, during the era of integration with Western culture, dance was also influenced by the outside world. The official translation of this folk dance is actually called 'Oklahoma Mixed Dance', which originated in Oklahoma, USA. Homer Island.”

"The melody is in four beats, left in and right out. Because it is a dance in the same direction, there is no doubt that the steps need to be consistent between the two."

"Although this kind of step step is simple, the only requirement is the coordination of the dancer. In the winner's performance of the competition, although there is basically no such pas de deux, it is a good introduction to find the time, musicality and rhythm. , which is a good way to practice.”

Now that the winner is talking about LIVE, Wuyou Shouting continues to expand on this topic: "There should be students in the team who have experienced LIVE performances, right?"

"Although both are dances, the folk dance we just danced is ultimately a kind of social dance. It is a celebratory dance suitable for everyone to dance at events. But it is not suitable for performances."

"Take the winner's live performance as an example. The first thing to make clear is that you are performing on the stage, and the live performance is performed by contestants together, which means it is a group dance, that is, a group performance. Of course, there are There will be C-position leading the dance, and there are even situations where the chorus will be danced solo. But from a definition point of view, since it is a group dance, the choreography is more about the individual cooperating with the group."

"Although each person is doing his or her own dance in terms of position, the effect requires everyone's cooperation."

"It doesn't matter if you can't experience it now. In the future, when everyone learns a few fixed dance songs from Winner LIVE, they will have a new understanding of this kind of performance."

"Do you understand?"

At the beginning of Wuyou Calling, I was a little worried about whether I could teach the students well.

But in fact, as long as you enter the state, these thoughts in your heart will continue to flow out on their own.

By using folk dance, a kind of social dance, to introduce the group dance in the live performance, it can be regarded as a brief introduction to several people for future teaching courses.

Everyone present, except for Da Jin who looked a little off because it brought back some bad memories, the rest of them showed understanding and nodded convincingly.

The worry-free calling of finding the feeling of being a "teacher" became much easier at this time, and it became much more natural to express it.

She smiled and said: "Then, does anyone want to take the initiative to try it?"

Before he finished speaking, the wonderful figure who had been gearing up for a long time raised her hands impatiently and said: "Me! Me! I want to give it a try!"

"Wonderful pose? What do you want to dance?"

“It’s also Folk Dance!!”

Wonderful Posture replied enthusiastically.

Hearing what she said, Wuyou couldn't help but froze for a moment, but then he realized that the folk dance in Mei Ge's mouth did not refer to their school ballroom dance.

But the dance that belongs to her country, Ireland.

"Is that, traditional Irish dance?"

"Ok!"

"I just saw Wuyou teacher dancing folk dance in Xiaowan, so I also want to try the dance that belongs to my motherland that I have learned before!!"

oops--

It was originally an impromptu dance talent show.

Unknowingly, it seemed to have turned into a folk dance exchange meeting from different countries?

"Well... speaking of the wonderful country Ireland..."

"The first thing that comes to mind is tap dancing, right? Irish step dancing."

Da Jin, who had already searched for the answer on his mobile phone, took over.

"Yes!", he nodded with a beautiful posture and a smile on his face, "Tap dance is a national treasure-level art performance form in our country, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the quintessence of the country!"

"In Ireland, both men and women, old and young, will dance a few tap dances!! Especially at festivals, they wear hard shoes and dance together in the streets to the music of Irish whistles!"

Seeing that the interest in the beautiful posture was so high, Sylvie also continued to explain to several others: "After all, tap dancing is also an official required course in school."

"This is also one of the measures promoted by my father. He once said that this is a means of cultivating national cultural confidence."

——Appeared, the wonderful gesture’s unique and incomprehensible speech.

After all, no one can step into her shoes and experience it...

Special Story: Wonderful Posture: Kore Timepiece (1)

On a certain Saturday evening——

"thanks for the effort!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Kazuomi, who followed social rules, picked up his things, said goodbye to his colleagues who were still working in the office, took the courseware and information and walked straight towards the team room.

At this time, Tereson College is quieter than ever.

In the empty corridor of the school building, a few students occasionally passed by slowly.

Apart from that, probably only the students from the student union are still helping to check classroom hygiene, right?

At this time, it is the most rare and free rest time for students during the week.In addition, because it is the weekend, they can enter and leave the school at will, so most students will go out shopping or tasting delicious food together.

Is this what contemporary JK life is probably like?

Although everyone works hard for horse racing training and competitions on weekdays, horse girls are just like ordinary people on weekdays, with their own personal space and interests.

Of course, this is for students - trainers like Hechen still have to consciously work overtime to recharge occasionally.

After all, there are newcomers with high qualifications and lack of experience. The team is still in its infancy, and many things must be handled by Kazuo himself.

Even though we have already experienced the debut battle, this is only the first stop on a long journey. We don’t even have to think about it too much before we need to gather our spirits again and devote ourselves to training and managing the team.
