I was blown away beyond words while watching the first installment of Dance Storm.
Because the dance variety shows I'd watched before were limited to "This, Is Street Dance," it was naturally with a solemn, sacred mood that I now watched a dance variety show with such a high level of technical skill.
Mr. Shen Wei's strict demands on the dancers made me feel that the peak of the art of dance is definitely beyond the reach of laymen like me.
But after the fourth installment of the show, I was able to guess the outcome of the audience's vote every time, which made me think that my appreciation of dance wasn't so bad after all.
The first group of performances in the fourth installment was Liaoning Dance Company's principal Ao Dingwen & Wang Zhanfeng PK Latin Dance National Zhuang Ting & Hou Yao.
From a technical point of view, I can't tell who is better between these two performances.
But if you look at it from the outside, as an audience member I obviously preferred the ballet of Ao Dingwen and Wang Zhanfeng.
Because the ballet was so beautiful, and Ao Dingwen is beautiful and moves beautifully.
To use an inappropriate analogy, Zhuang Ting, who wears very European and American makeup, looked like a witch casting her spell in a European and American fairy tale. Ao Dingwen, on the other hand, is looking at her with a beautifully groomed face.
In the eyes of the dancers, Zhuang Ting's eyes were extremely attractive, but I believe that a child might be scared to tears by looking at them.
I'm not writing this to discredit Zhuang Ting, but just to state the fact that a woman with flaming red lips and dark skin may be marketable in Europe and the United States, but it doesn't fit in with the majority of Chinese people's aesthetics.
So, although the match was a draw, the ballet duo Ao Dingwen & Wang Zhanfeng won in the audience vote.
Looking good is really important in this variety show, and when one side is slightly better than the other in terms of technical skill, looking good can save a contestant's life!
For example, Liu Jia vs Su Hailu, both are very good dancers, I can't see the difference between these two.
But Shen Wei, the toughest technical person in the program, thinks that Su Hailu's moves are more difficult than Liu Jia's.
It's a good thing that Liu Jia's moves are more difficult!
Yes, you didn't read or think wrong, they are the contestants of Dance Storm. In my boredom at home, I decided to brush up on this variety show again.
This is a variety show that deserves a second brush, and the more I brushed it, the more excited I got anyway, so I decided to give you guys an amenity, and help you dish on how worthwhile this divine out-of-the-loop variety show really is.
First of all, when it comes to this "Dance Storm" will surely make you think of its brother "Sound into the hearts of the people", these two out of the circle of star-making variety show, really stand in the niche of musical theater and dance, play twice the shocking thunder.
To put it bluntly Dance Storm is a dance version of The Voice, without the serious competition mechanics, but with a heavy dose of dance amenity soul.
About "Dance Storm" must talk about the first feeling that this variety show gives me is pure.
Pure to no excessive choreography, no ? The first thing that I want to talk about is the purity of this variety show. s personal life experience, there is only the dance itself, feeling and presentation.
Every time, I would burst out with this exclamation: ? My God, the original dance can be like this, this is too handsome, this is too beautiful, this is simply too awesome. In addition to you to sigh, really do not know how to describe.
Such a variety show, hard to a copywriter, stunning to speechless. If you don't believe me, take a look at the episode below and you'll really get it.
Isn't it really great, but you know what? That's just the base of this show, and what's coming next is going to be even cooler.
This crew went so far as to pay a huge amount of money to make one of these: a 360-degree advanced capture device that the show uses to capture the highlights of each dance routine, named Stormy Moments.
All I could think of in this moment was, does Earth's gravity have anything to do with these people?
Another big attraction was the lovely judges, who actually largely ditched the critique part and delivered more to the audience's ears in terms of understanding and thinking about dance, as well as their views on life and art.
And the teachers themselves are gods, so listening to their interpretations of dance can really make you rethink dance and life.
What sets Dance Storm apart from today's dance programs is that it doesn't focus on just one type of dance, and it doesn't really differentiate between what kind of dance each dancer is doing.
So there's modern contemporary dance, national standard, classical ballet, street dance, classical Chinese dance, folk dance, modern ballet, and even disco, and the collision between the different dance genres has become one of the most interesting aspects of Dance Storm's existence.
After all that, the most important thing to say is the contestants. How can I describe them? It's like a collection of gods and goddesses.
What not to talk about just look at the face value of all the big brother, are enough to love this program, they then casually dance, the release of talent, you in addition to send the knee really can not do anything about it, just want to sigh the gods down to the dance, you hard work.
How to say it, they really are all treasure little brother, young lady. This program is the first on the hot search is the Li Ling god, his dance is simply beautiful and MAN, Chinese classical dance how can be so charming ah!
There is also Liu Jia, and he is known as ? Military Arts Twin Star? The person who turned out to be Yang Yang. And his interpretation of modern dance is really perfect, the control of the limbs can be said to be ruler-like precision.?
And the Hu Shen member who amazed me, how can I say it, I feel that this small body, but every time he perfectly stepped on the heart of the editor, every time he danced, it was an expression.?
Everyone in "Dance Storm" possesses their own charm. There is the extremely valiant Hao Ruoqi for a PK with male dancers; there are supermodel modern ballet dancers Hu Jing and Zhang Yuanbo; there is also Daju, who seems to inhale the aura of the earth; and there is also Luo Tian, who is quirky but reveals his talent. Dance Storm has become a mirror that lets us see that this is what dancers are all about.
"Dance Storm" fills every dancer with flesh and blood. Here someone expresses the last vestige of perseverance for classical dance; someone uses dance to tell the heart and the world; there is also someone who dances a bully and Farewell, and over there is another death of Zhou Ping; someone is passionate; someone is thinking.
The place is filled with these countless ideas, using the body in an effort to convey the soul, this may be the storm of dance.
