In my impression, the performance team from the beginning of the creation of today's initial scale, has been 13 years long, known as the Dong City sunset red cultural and artistic performances team, was founded in December 200x. By the retired teacher Wang Zufen, Luo Wuzhen and other eight people voluntarily combined to absorb the retired workers mainly middle-aged and elderly people to participate in the activities, its purpose is to let the middle-aged and elderly people in the city of Dongcheng to have fun, and at the same time, to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the masses.
At first, the performance team had nothing, they spontaneously funded the purchase of recorders, drums and other equipment and performance props, and use the evening time to learn to play the drums, learn to dance a variety of dances. Wang Zufen when the teacher is the school literary backbone, after retirement was elected to the Dong City Senior Sports Association ad hoc committee members, we unanimously elected her as a coach, she lived up to the expectations of the responsibility, conscientiously organizing everyone to figure out the basic playing method of the waist drums, learning to dance rice-planting dance, even the ringing of the dance and the square dance.
In even ringing dance training, Wang Zufen focus on theory and practice, she told everyone, even ringing dance is a form of folk dance, song and dance with a small bamboo stick about 1 meter long, the two ends of the long holes, the device is a small copper in the holes, the performance of the small bamboo stick to hit all parts of the body. Because of the continuous sound of the bamboo stick, it is named Lianlong Dance. Its basic steps are the front step, eight steps, ding step, bow step, step, pad step, etc. The bamboo stick can be up and down, left and right flip dance; it can be a personal individual song and dance, but also dozens of collective performance, in the multi-people dance, you can change each other's stick to form a variety of patterns and shapes. After mastering the basic playing style and footwork, then the actual training and thus received twice the result with half the effort. In the square dance training, she first searched from the Internet, followed the video recordings to learn to dance all kinds of square dances, and then taught the learned dance to others, to share the joy with everyone. The youngest member of the team is 50 years old and the oldest is 69 years old, but they encourage each other to overcome difficulties and persevere in the training. Zhou Xianzhen is old and frail, but she has a passion for dancing and actively participates in training whenever she can. When encountering physical discomfort, she moved a chair to sit on the training ground to see other people training, but also optimistic and funny: "As long as I can hear the training music, the heart will be happy, the disease is also much better!" Members of the heart of one mind, one strength, in order to *** with the same hobby and career, showing great enthusiasm. Tang Tiancui is approaching the age of old, young learned the waist drum, she took the initiative to coach Wang Zufen suggestions, and has traveled to Yichang City, Zhijiang Madian city to learn the modern waist drum performance, and then will learn the skills unreservedly taught to the other members of the performance team, so that the level of the waist drum performance continues to improve, and many times in the large-scale activities in the waist drum exhibition.
Over the past few years, the number of performing team from the beginning of the 8 people increased to 60 people, the performance equipment can be described as a "birdshot for a cannon", from the original small recorders into large recorders, add a DVD player, amplifier, props are equipped with swords, color fans, fitness balls, etc.; in the performance of the content and form is not only confined to the waist drum, square dance, dance and dance, but also to the performance of the performance of the drum. In terms of performance content and form, the program is not only limited to the performance of waist drums, square dances and folk dances, but has also expanded to the training of fitness qigong such as the Six Character Recipe, Eight Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing, and Five Animal Circus, etc.; the scope of the performances and its influence have also been gradually expanded.
