Ⅱ. 七选五
Dancing is natural and almost any child can dance. However，why do so many people find it hard to dance when they reach their teens or adulthood? 1
Most people have heard the words “Dance like nobody is watching.” 2 When we’re learning something new，we hate having an audience watching our silly mistakes. Actually，everyone else is too busy worrying about his own mistakes. Chances are that you’re not the only one struggling with the steps!
We all have patterns of muscle memory. Your body likes doing repetitive movements that you don’t have to think about. 3 Your brain may understand，but it can take a while to direct your limbs（四肢）to interpret these new and unfamiliar movements. Be patient with yourself and understand it’s the way your body works.
4 If you’ve never danced before，the complex rhythms（节奏）and fast footwork of flamenco would be a big challenge as the first dance style. If you’re inflexible，I wouldn’t recommend starting cold with ballet，either. Instead，do some yoga first to get your body used to the new demands ballet will place on it.
A lack of rhythm is the biggest problem of learning to dance. However，it can be overcome with enough practice. 5 Then learn to dance when you begin to feel the beat. Dance can be a very rewarding and enjoyable hobby. Just be patient with yourself and learn to dance.
A. You can do them almost without thinking.
B. It’s human nature to dislike looking foolish.
C. If you get no rhythm，try to master dance steps first.
D. Dance needs you to move arms and legs in unusual ways.
E. Learning a musical instrument is helpful in learning rhythm.
F. The other possibility is that you’ve picked a style that doesn’t suit you.
G. There are many things holding people back when they try to learn dancing.
