8.IF you think tapping (踢踏) your feet three times a second is difficult,how about doing it 600 times in a minute?It's almost impossible.
But for the tap dancers in Christmas Dancing Shoes,it's no problem.The show,by the Chicago Human Rhythm Project,is one of the best in the world.It ran from December 21-23 in Beijing.
In the two hour-long show,the dancer showed off four different styles of tap dancing in a variety of settings.There was dancing in the classroom with desks and chairs,dancing on railway station platforms (站臺),even mom and dad dancing in the living room!
As with other kinds of dance,there's a right way and wrong way to do it.But each dancer adds his or her own personal ideas on things.It's this that makes it so attractive to young people.
"Dancing is so relaxing,"says dancer Doerr Mary,15,a high school girl from Texas."You can move around just as you like."
Every other week she flies to North Carolina just to train."I've been tap dancing since I was two and a half years old,"she says."I've found I just can't stop dancing.Even when I'm sitting down,I'm tapping.My mom sometimes gets angry,"she laughs.Mary says she finds tap dancing is a good way of expressing herself.It's like,she says,"talking to my feet."
Mary says tap dancing has changed her life.She used to be shy,but not any more."Knowing that I can dance in front of such a large group of people is a real confidence-booster (信心增強劑)."
