The seasons change, the sun and the moon rotate. 2023 is fleeting. Looking back on this semester, under the correct leadership of the University for the Elderly, under the careful teaching of teachers Zhang Xinxin, teaching assistants Yan Deyan and Lv Zhanmei, and under the warm service of the class committee, the alumni have been striving for self-improvement, diligent and enterprising, and have reaped joy in learning and results in hard work.
On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the teachers and students of our ballroom dance class gathered in the multi-functional hall on the second floor to hold a New Year's Day celebration with the theme of "Singing and Laughing to Welcome the New Year's Day and Striving for the Future". The purpose is to create a festive atmosphere, increase class cohesion, promote physical health, stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, display the teaching results of the semester, and let students improve their dancing skills, enhance friendship, show their talents, and promote the construction of spiritual civilization on campus in mutual learning and exchange.
This event is a special display of the teaching achievements of the teachers and students of the ballroom dance class of the University for the Elderly to welcome the New Year's Day and this year.
We have carefully prepared 11 programs.
At the beginning of the activity, the amiable teacher Zhang Xinxin made a brief summary of the teaching work throughout the year.
The group dance "Beijing Pingsi" kicked off, followed by "One Drag Two Sailor Dance", "Slow Four", folk dance "Send Me to the Dear Party", square dance "Green Mountains and Green Water", "Tango", red song solo "Red Star Follow Me to Fight", "Leisure Fast Three", "Skewer Rumba", "Sailor Dance" and "Point Pass".
The 11 programs are rich in content, singing and dancing, and the form is novel and wonderful. With a unique style, beautiful melody, tacit cooperation of dancers, and passionate display, the students expressed their feelings of love for the motherland, displayed the results of a year's learning, and praised the joy of the new era and the arrival of New Year's Day. The joyful laughter came one after another, winning the warm applause of the audience.
These programs, each of which is carefully screened by teachers and students, working overtime to practice, never attending the meeting, and paying a lot of hard work, especially the teacher Zhang Xinxin, assistant teacher Feng Deyan, Lv Zhanmei and the old squad leader Zhang Jin followed the rehearsal, timely guidance, corrected the details, and made today's performance program more mature and perfect for everyone.
Since the teacher Zhang Xinxin, assistant teacher Yan Deyan and Lv Zhanmei have been teaching, the students have risen from more than 30 to 84 people, which is the largest number of students in the university for the elderly.
Today's performance not only fully reflects the spiritual outlook of the students and the good mood of welcoming the New Year's Day, but also gives a satisfactory answer to the study of this semester.
