You are all so great for being so diligent and eager to learn!

   Today, I was the only one in the dance class, and I was a little overwhelmed; my voice was almost gone. In desperation, I just shouted at the top of my lungs, "Now let's review the seven moves we've learned, then we'll dance to the music." We reviewed the moves and danced to the music for the whole class. The students really enjoyed dancing to the music. I told them to take a break, but they lingered, eager to dance whenever the music was on, which made me very happy. Seeing the results of my teaching made me truly happy. Because everyone performed so well, I taught them "Be Your Snow Lotus," and everyone was eager to learn the new dance. After class, some students were reluctant to go home, wanting to stay and practice the moves, dance what they already knew, or learn "Come On, Champion." They didn't even want to go home for dinner, which shows how much they love dance.
