Many people think that this is an inspirational story that transcends their own shortcomings and is suitable for encouraging children. I don't think so. First of all, we will not become confident because we are encouraged, but only because we have successfully done one thing. Secondly, it is not enough to sum up the story with inspiration. Although Gerald was laughed at, he bravely attended the dance, which was very inspiring. It is a legend that giraffes can dance with a gentle push. It is worse than the male masters who fell into the cave and picked up the secrets to become masters in Jin Yong's novels, because it is a crash.
So, in real life, is such a legend possible? Let's take a look at the key to the giraffe becoming a dancer in the picture book, that is, meeting a good teacher, cricket.
An insect friend who is both a musician and a soul dancer said
This passage is suggestive or hypnotic. Under the guidance of crickets, Gerald's body changed. Its hooves hit the ground, its neck swung briskly and its tail drew a circle.
He relaxed, forgetting the irony he received and the fact that he thought he couldn't dance. This is a state of selflessness that giraffes can achieve in nature (or, it is also a state of self-esteem).
When other animals asked him the secret, he said that everyone can dance, as long as you can find your own music.
Can you believe it?
If you believe it, you can.
Because this legend is about potential development.
So, why didn't giraffes dance at first?
Generally speaking, dancing, or dancing, has a certain type and name. For example, in the jungle dance scene, different animals dance different dances (very lively and lovely), such as waltz, rock, tango, cha-cha … These dances are named and restricted at the same time. These restrictions, that is, rules, stipulate the movements and rhythms of dance, and it takes time to learn and train.
Steven Gerrard started his own free dance under the guidance of a cricket teacher. A kind of expression and creation by means of music, improvisation and body.
As long as we don't limit, define and judge the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly (because of this, dancing generally doesn't need an audience, and we don't take pictures or videos on the spot), in short, we don't let our thoughts interfere, but discover and believe the feelings of the body, and the body will naturally dance. Beautiful or ugly, stiff or smooth. They are all their own unique dances, different from anyone, and will not be exactly the same at any moment (if you have the opportunity to participate in the dance workshop, you can start dancing by yourself soon).
It's important not to involve your brain when dancing. As the story goes, someone asked the centipede which leg to walk first. The centipede has been thinking about this problem, and he finds that he can't walk.
If there is a sequel to the giraffe story, an ignorant little animal comes out and asks him what dance you dance, and then all the other animals laugh at it. I guess giraffes can't dance again.
So, the key to dancing is that you want to dance. Similarly, the key to not dancing is that you think you can't dance. To learn from toddlers, they think they can dance, and they dance with excitement as soon as they hear music.
Finally, do you really think you can't dance?
