Artistic director is a good dancer
Zhou Renxun, nicknamed "Tooth", is the deputy director of SPEED Dance Troupe and its artistic director, and is one of the five "elders" who founded the troupe at the end of the 1990s. He started to learn street dance at the age of 12, and has been dancing for 13 years now, and has developed a good "dance skill". Street dance is the teeth of the favorite, the experience is also the deepest, he believes that the street dance is both fitness projects, but also dance projects, now sports associations and dance associations want to put the street dance under the banner. He said: "Like Latin dance, street dance is both competitive and popular, that is, on the stage, and out of the square. But the ones who play it are mostly young hipsters."
At SPEED Dance Company, Tooth has taught street dancers from five or six years old to those in their 40s. He said, "Although the mainstream of street dance is middle school to college students, I'm proud of the fact that I've also taught a lot of business owners. These middle-aged people are sometimes more serious and relaxed than the students when they dance street dance. Why do middle-aged people like street dance? Because they are eager to put down the face and frame, and go on stage to do 'pro' performance. I saw a business leader went on stage to dance street dance, the stage are laughing very happy, the original leadership can also play some fun, so the boss and subordinates of the relationship is particularly well coordinated." And the most proud of the teeth is, "Guangdong music industry almost 99% of the singers and stars have been in our place to learn street dance, or find Dancer counseling, such as Zhang Jingxuan, Shi Wenbin them." College students do not care to fall in love with street dance
Huang Coronation, known as "T-boy", tall and handsome, he is also SPEED dance troupe of the five "old man" one of the dance has been more than seven years. The beautiful Guo Li is the captain of the female team of SPEED Dance Troupe, and everyone calls her "Ali" or "Lili", and she is particularly hot and spirited when she dances. Both say that street dance is purely "unintentional", T said: "I originally studied computer science at the University of Guangzhou, when our school had a dance team, asked Ah Tooth to line dance, we talked out of the spirit of his performance was not enough people, I pulled me in, and never thought I would now do the street dance instructor. " Guo Li said: "Now the whole dance troupe most of the people at the beginning were pulled in by Ah Tooth. Beginning is also a tooth in me, because I and he is a classmate, when we were together in the Xinghai Conservatory of Music, I participate in the school's dance, a tooth to see that I have a little bit of potential to dig me out, we often combined into a street dance men and women stalls. At first how did not expect, our two majors are learning to sing children, accidentally fell in love with street dance in a serious way. Now our training at the popular dance training base has instead become the main business, and everything else has become a part-time job."
Talking about the people who come to learn street dance, Guo Li said, "In the past, students lived by playing video games, but now people can use street dance to show themselves, and they can also go outside to participate in competitions to grow their knowledge, so why not? I see that many parents want their children to become more lively and cheerful, and some of them even fly to Guangzhou from other provinces to let their children attend a summer class of street dance. College students love street dance, and I think it will be a sought-after industry." Persistence to create a "strong" business card
Zheng Feng is the SPEED dance troupe leader, director, although only in his early thirties, but known as "Master Feng", is quite "old" characters. He said, "We at SPEED have a lot of people in our organization. He said, "SPEED Dance Company is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Although the road has been very winding over the years, we have now tasted the sweetness. Now the domestic street dance team that can last as long as us is a rare breed. This is mainly due to our dedication to street dance. At the same time, in these years, we have pushed ourselves up to a higher level by using the platform of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting and the Cultural Center of Haizhu District, and have made a beautiful youth culture card." In the past ten years, SPEED Dance Troupe achieved the best record, that is, in 2005 CCTV National TV Street Dance Competition SPEED won the collective champion of popular dance, which makes the whole troupe in the country's popularity rises steeply.
Talking about the rising development trend of street dance year by year, Zheng Feng said: "In Asia, Japan and South Korea's street dance are top, they have formed their own style; we may be many years behind compared with them, but we are now developing vigorously. Last year CCTV national television street dance competition for the first time street dance as an independent dance, and not simply into the popular dance. Now, street dance has turned into a healthy, youthful, energetic, and a dance favorite that shows the culture and connotation of young people, and has become a way of life for many young people."
As he was talking, Zheng Feng's cell phone rang, it was a very cool street dance music, listen to him say, "Now the street dance is divided into two kinds, one is Dancing, one is Breaking, the latter is the risk factor is higher, while Dancing is the most common, but also what we teach. We see Jay Chou ah, Jolin Tsai ah, they sing powerful songs, behind the back of those who dance, dancing is the Dancing type of street dance; and Korean superstars such as RAIN, his kind of R& B style, often decide that some of his choreography must be street dance format. So when it comes to the influence of street dance in the pop music world, there's just one word: power!"
