109: Dance training requires a gradual approach.
The moment Su Wanqing saw Lei Jun walk in, an unmaskable flash of amazement flickered in her eyes.
Such... such perfect physique and temperament!
She had taught countless students, many of whom possessed outstanding conditions, but it was her first time seeing someone like Lei Jun, who seemed born for the stage.
These proportions... she is simply a natural-born dancer!
She immediately stepped forward, her tone filled with appreciation and warmth: "Welcome, Miss Lei. It is a pleasure to be your instructor."
There were several other members in the dance studio warming up or practicing, and their gazes were all instantly drawn to Lei Jun.
"My god, who is that? She's too beautiful, even better looking than a celebrity!"
"Those body proportions are amazing; she's a natural clothes horse. She'll definitely look great dancing."
"Is that silver hair of hers real? It's so unique!"
"She's so easy on the eyes; just watching her stand there is a treat."
"I wonder what she'll look like when she starts dancing... she must be beautiful!"
Lei Jun gave Teacher Su a polite smile and then got straight to the point about her goal.
"Teacher Su, I want to learn the Dance of Nirvana, and I need to be able to perform it in its entirety once, without a single mistake. To reach that level, roughly how long will I need to practice?"
When Su Wanqing heard the words 'Dance of Nirvana,' her heart jolted.
She actually wants to learn that?
Does she know what she's saying?
The dauntingly complex choreography immediately surfaced in Su Wanqing's mind.
Thirty-seven high-difficulty compound movements!
Every single movement was like a hurdle, requiring not only extraordinary physical fitness but also testing the absolute limits of a dancer's memory.
Just accurately remembering the transitions, power, and direction of all the movements was an insurmountable chasm for many people.
It wasn't just about memorization!
It required the dancer to have immense core strength to support those high-intensity spins and balances, near-extreme flexibility to complete those logic-defying stretches and folds, and a sense of rhythm precise to the millisecond to master the rapidly changing melody.
It was essentially an all-around ultimate challenge to one's physical functions!
She had seen too many talented dancers who ultimately had to give up because they couldn't satisfy all these harsh conditions simultaneously.
Looking at Lei Jun's exquisite but slightly slender frame, as well as her posture which showed no trace of a dance foundation...
And she wants to complete it in one go without mistakes?
That is simply making a difficult task even harder!
Su Wanqing thought for a moment; she couldn't let this student's enthusiasm for learning dance take such a major blow.
She chose her words carefully, her tone gentle but exceptionally sincere: "Miss Lei, the difficulty of the Dance of Nirvana... might be far beyond your imagination."
"It is not suitable as an introductory choice."
"I suggest you might start with some basic dances that focus on cultivating musicality and body coordination, such as some elegant classical dance segments or introductory modern dance. This way, you can enjoy the fun of dancing while building a solid foundation for the future."
The surrounding students were shocked by Lei Jun's goal and began whispering among themselves.
"The Dance of Nirvana? Is she crazy? Is that a dance we can even touch?"
"Challenging the ultimate dance with zero foundation? This courage... I don't know whether to call it admirable or naive."
"Teacher Su is being too polite; this is simply an impossible task."
"Just wait, I bet she won't even last through the first combination movement."
"She's so beautiful, why are her ideas so... unrealistic?"
"But... what if? What if she really can create a miracle?"
"A miracle? Are you kidding me?"
Lei Jun heard Su Wanqing's warning and the faint discussions around her.
She knew that wanting to learn the Dance of Nirvana and perform it once without any mistakes was indeed very difficult.
However, she had to do her best to complete it.
After all, the amount of godly tycoon coins given for this task was simply too much!
Moreover, her body was one that had been modified by the system; her advantage during the last time she learned yoga was very significant.
Therefore, the requirements for extreme core strength, body flexibility, and rhythmic control were no problem for her.
As for those movements being complex and hard to remember, it didn't matter; she had an Photographic Memory.
So, learning this dance should be no problem.
The part about performing it once without mistakes, however, was somewhat difficult.
But again, no matter how hard it was, she had to complete it.
It couldn't be helped; the item 'Remove Menstruation' was just too enticing, and she had to exchange for it as soon as possible.
Then, Lei Jun spoke.
"Teacher Su, thank you for your reminder. However, I still want to try the Dance of Nirvana."
Seeing that Lei Jun was unmoved by her advice and instead became more persistent, Su Wanqing felt a bit anxious.
Why is this child so stubborn?
She really couldn't bear to see Lei Jun suffer a blow because of her overambition, or even lose interest in dancing because of it.
She tried to persuade her again, her tone even more earnest.
"Miss Lei, please reconsider. Dance training needs to be gradual. Directly challenging the highest difficulty makes it very easy to get injured, and the sense of frustration will be very strong..."
However, the determination in Lei Jun's eyes did not waver in the slightest.
Seeing the resolve in Lei Jun's eyes, Su Wanqing knew she couldn't change her decision.
Fine... perhaps only after she tries it for herself will she know the difficulty involved.
Su Wanqing took a soft breath and nodded helplessly.
"Very well, since you insist. Then, first, we need to assess whether your physical fitness has reached the minimum threshold for learning the Dance of Nirvana."
"If the basic conditions aren't met, forced practice will not only be ineffective but will also easily cause sports injuries."
Lei Jun wasn't flustered at all.
When she learned yoga last time, her body had already been verified.
Su Wanqing began a series of professional fitness and flexibility tests on Lei Jun.
Plank and dynamic stability tests for core strength, side splits, front splits, and backbends for flexibility, instant reaction and complex beat imitation for rhythm... As the tests went deeper, Su Wanqing's initial serious evaluation gradually transformed into unmaskable shock.
How... how is this possible?
Lei Jun's abdominal and back muscle groups were incredibly stable, far exceeding ordinary beginners and even rivaling some long-term trained dancers!
Her ligament extensibility was excellent, her joint range of motion was vast, and she easily completed many angles that usually require years of stretching to achieve!
Lei Jun's capture of musical beats was exceptionally keen, and she could quickly imitate complex rhythmic patterns!
This body!!!
Su Wanqing was stunned!
Looking at the recorded data, a storm of shock surged in her heart.
This... this is simply a body born for dance!
She looked at Lei Jun in disbelief; the other girl's breathing was steady, as if the tests just now were merely a warm-up.
Looking at Lei Jun's appearance, she seemingly hadn't studied dance before.
This talent... is terrifying!
