Hanmei

Hanmei从48岁开始练舞蹈基本功, 那时的她驼背, 有肩周炎, 腰痛, 坐骨神经痛和膝盖痛, 10分钟的核心训练她需要休息10次才能完成。三年后的今天, 她解决了横叉竖叉, 她越来越多地意识到体态, 随时调整驼背, 她的慢性疼痛开始一点一点消失, 她可以连续四个小时高强度练功。她知道哪些痛是软开必须经历的, 哪些痛是身体需要修养的信号。她兴奋地和同学们分享身体的变化, 开心地觉得年龄并不限制对舞蹈的热爱。就这样开始带着拉伸班的同学们一起练功, 希望每个人都感受到身体自愈, 涨功, 还有突破极限的喜悦。她喜欢开玩笑, 她态度温和要求严格, 她最喜欢的事就是大家一起核心训练难度越来越大、下叉越来越低、踢腿搬腿耗腿越来越高……她最喜欢的学生就是你
