Chapter 929: You’re still young, no need to rush, take your time.
She heard someone explain dance like this for the first time, and this explanation was fresh and novel to her and also gave her a flash of inspiration.
It seemed like she had grasped it, yet it seemed like she hadn’t.
Seeing her slightly squinting her eyes in a daze, but also seeming to have a bit of enlightenment, Nangong Jin continued to speak, "Music has no boundaries, people listen to music, hear the rhythm within, and want to move with the music, and what a dancer needs is to capture this rhythm in their blood and resonate with the body."
His voice, with its rises and falls, was luxurious and deep, striking like a chime stone, carrying a hint of nonchalance yet shocking to the soul.
Di Jinxuan looked towards Nangong Jin, her eyes filled with surprise.
"So," Nangong Jin parted his thin lips and turned to look at her, "if you want to be a top dancer, then you must understand music, understand the rhythm of every note, how to awaken the primitive rhythm in people’s blood, so that you can express music’s tension with your body, making people join you in either a boil of excitement or a lament of sadness."
His eyes were charming and profound, inexplicably as if they possessed some magic power, very attractive, and though he spoke straightforwardly, it was deeply profound.
Di Jinxuan was a bit confused, and somewhat understood but didn’t.
Looking at her somewhat enlightenment-eluding expression, Nangong Jin raised his hand and touched her head with a bit of unbidden indulgence, "Good girl, there’s plenty of time to learn slowly, I’ll help you find this feeling."
"Okay." Di Jinxuan nodded her head and said no more.
Although she was driving, part of her thoughts couldn’t stop pondering the words Nangong Jin had said.
Honestly, it’s no wonder that a Master Level person like him had such a high level of dance achievement.
Just casually dancing a few moves could make people explode instantly, was this the rhythm and resonance he was talking about?
It turned out he had his own understanding and definition of dance.
This was also normal; everyone who reached Master Level always had their point of view, perhaps not professional, but summarized with the soul.
In her dance career thus far, she had been dancing to prescribed compositions, the rhythm, and beat definitely had to match the music.
Or rather, it was said to follow the music, but when he said this, she suddenly felt that the dances she had danced before had not integrated with the music.
There was always something missing, it seemed like the soul.
There weren’t many who could dance the soul out of a piece, and if there were, they would probably be the world-class top dancers.
Up to now, perhaps only those few recognized by the dance world as palaces could dance with the soul.
But she still didn’t understand how to grasp this feeling where the soul resided.
Suddenly she felt a bit defeated and blurted out, "Jin Gege, am I very dumb?"
This term ’Jin Gege’ instantly pleased Nangong Jin.
He lay back lazily in his seat, his lips quirking up with full confidence as he answered, "Not at all, my future wife is definitely the smartest."
"..."
Di Jinxuan couldn’t help blushing, but she couldn’t say anything, after all, she was still eager to learn from Nangong Jin.
Merely a definition of dance had given her an epiphany, how could she give up such teachings?
"And you’re still young, no need to rush, take it slow," Nangong Jin added at the end.
