Hooked on Dancing
Ling sat quietly as she waited for her dinner to be cooked.She was looking forward to the evening's event.She mostly wanted to watch the dancers on stage.Her father had told her how the dancers in this show glide high above the sets,which look like the roofs of houses, flowing rivers, and huge trees.
"It is not like you to be this quiet," said Ling's grandma."Are you thinking about the last recital you saw?"
Ling's Childhood Dream
"Yes, I am thinking about the recital last year," nodded Ling.She had seen her first opera in China with her father.Opera is a tradition in China.Everybody knows the stories because they see them over and over.
Ling and her grandma had tickets for Lady White Snake.This was to be the second opera Ling would see.It employed the same style of dance as the first show she saw.Grandma liked Lady White Snake and called it "the best of all shows."
Grandma had seen Lady White Snake many times.But each time, the face paint, dancing, and singing were a bit different.
"Some operas are based on real events," she told Ling."Others are made-up tales with a moral."
At this performance, Grandma knew one of the dancers.When she and Ling got to the theater, they went backstage and stood quietly as the dancers prepared for the show.Then Ling was allowed to try on one of the costumes.As she struck poses in the mirror, she looked like a fierce warrior.
