Re: 手舞足蹈说跳舞 | Jan 28 2006- Hehe, this is indeed a fun piece. I think dancing is like some kinds of hormone therapy for women: the older you get, the more you would need.
I had a chance to get some formal dancing training when I was 7 but didn¡¯t take it. My family sent me to Beijing Youth Palace (?) to learn dancing. All the other girls were motivated, cultivated little ladies specialized in different types of dancings; I was this awkward kid specialized in trespassing public properties. I was on the bench all the time because the teacher didn¡¯t know what to do with me. One day she said my hands were like chicken feet, I misunderstood her and gave her a chicken feet gesture. After that incident I totally lost interest and used the class time to roam in the Jingshan mountains instead.
