Shall We Dance?

How classic is this line? I knew it in my first year of learning English.
I didn't know that the original version of this film came from Japan. I thought it was a remote work from which small country in Europe. And the scumbag male protagonist is the Japanese father who has a daughter with a headache in this year's "Babel". This man seems to be just like Liu Qingyun from Hong Kong. His meticulous hair made me instantly think of Comrade Da Wei, the head teacher of the junior high school. His hairstyle has not changed in three years. Always a long-sleeved white shirt, rolled up in summer, put down in winter, plus a jacket—and never took it off all winter. Dressing like this has maintained my entire junior high school career and every time I see him in high school. Now that I think about it, if he, like Fir, was suddenly attracted to something and changed his mentality, would our entire junior high school career in Class 6 be different? Wouldn't it be less painful?

That woman with a straight nose and no expression is definitely the most special woman I have ever seen in a Japanese movie. In fact, when she smiled, she was very beautiful and pure. The way she walks is the kind of posture every mother hopes her daughter can learn - a very straight back, a raised chin, and two feet that are differentiated and gentle. Even jumping the quick step is so light. After I grew up, my mother regretted many times why she didn't let me learn dance, but went to learn clarinet and swim in winter. It can be seen that dancing is really an imagination that everyone has in their hearts.

Which genre should this movie be classified as? love? Obviously close; comedy? Obviously not, this is even a little sad; singing and dancing? No song, just a little dancing, and it feels a little dull at first. So, for the time being, it's very general, let's call it a drama...

In fact, the story is a little touched at the end. The phrase "Shall we dance" that everyone says has a different meaning. The dance teacher with good temperament is not too young, but his smile is still as beautiful as a girl. A woman should have no age limit when dancing. No matter how old a woman is, no matter how bad her figure is, at that moment, she is extremely elegant. Whether it is a waltz, a rumba, or a quick step, as long as you dance with your heart, it is the most beautiful dance.

When I was very young, I followed my mother in Yindu, Zhuhai, and learned a little slow three. I still remember. It was a great feeling, even when I was so young, it was just a group of princesses in this seersucker, a pair of little pink patent leather shoes. However, the beauty of dancing has been deeply felt.
