Zhou, nicknamed "Aya", is currently the deputy head and artistic director of the Extreme Dance Company, and is one of the five "elders" who founded the Extreme Dance Company in the late 1990s. /kloc-began to learn street dance at the age of 0/2, and has been dancing for 13 years, and has developed a good "dancing skill". Hip-hop is Aya's favorite and has the deepest experience. He believes that street dance is not only a fitness project, but also a dance project. Nowadays, both sports associations and dance associations want to put hip-hop under their own control. He said: "Just like Latin dance, street dance is both competitive and popular, that is, it is on the table and out of the square. However, most of them are young hipsters. "
In the Speed Dance Company, Aya has taught hip-hop lovers from the age of five or six to their forties. He said: "Although the mainstream of street dance is from middle school students to college students, I am very proud because I have also taught many business owners. These middle-aged people dance street dance, and sometimes they are more serious and open than students. Why do middle-aged people like street dance? Because they all want to put down their unwarranted face and shelf and go on stage to perform "people-friendly" performances. When I saw a business leader step onto the stage to dance street dance, everyone in the audience laughed happily. It turns out that leaders can be more fun and make the relationship between bosses and subordinates particularly well coordinated. " What makes Aya most proud is that "almost 99% of the singers and stars in Guangdong music scene have studied street dance with us, or asked Dancer to coach them, such as Hins Cheung and Wenbin Shi." College students accidentally fell in love with street dance.
Huang Mian, known as "T-boy", is tall and handsome. He is also one of the five "elders" of the Speed Dance Company. He has been dancing street dance for more than seven years. Li Guo, a beautiful woman, is the captain of the women's team of the Speed Dance Company. Everyone calls him "Ali" or "Lily", and she dances very hard. Both said that hip-hop dancing was purely "unintentional". T-boy said, "I used to study computer at Guangzhou University. At that time, there was a dance team in our school and Aya was invited to dance. Everyone talked about spirit. Once he didn't show enough, so he dragged me in. Unexpectedly, I am now a street dance coach. " Li Guo said: "Now most people in the whole dance company are brought in by Aya. At first, I was attracted to Aya, because he and I were classmates. At that time, we studied together at Xinghai Conservatory of Music, and I participated in the school dance. Aya saw that I had some potential and dug me up. We often combine into male and female street dances. At first, I didn't expect that our two majors were children learning to sing, and we fell in love with street dance inadvertently. Now the training of our pop dance training base has become the main business, and others have become part-time jobs. "
Speaking of people who came to learn street dance, Li Guo said: "In the past, students lived by playing video games. Now you can show yourself with street dance, or you can participate in competitions outside to increase your knowledge. Why not? " I see that many parents want their children to be lively and cheerful, and some even fly to Guangzhou from other provinces to let their children attend a street dance summer school. China people and college students are more keen on street dance, and I think it will be a hot industry. Insist on building a "strength" business card
Zheng Feng is the head and director of the Speed Dance Company. Although he is only in his early thirties, he is called "Feng Ye" and is quite a "senior" figure. He said: "Our speed dance company just celebrated its tenth anniversary this year. Although the road has been tortuous these years, now we have tasted the sweetness. Now the domestic street dance team can persist like us, which is already a very rare variety. This is mainly due to our persistence in street dance. At the same time, in recent years, with the help of the platform of Haizhu District Wenguang Bureau and Cultural Center, it has pushed up its own level and played a beautiful youth cultural business card. " In the past ten years, the Speed Dance Company has achieved the best record, that is, in 2005, Speed won the collective champion of pop dance in the National TV Street Dance Competition of CCTV, which made the whole group's popularity in China soar.
Talking about the rising trend of street dance year by year, Zheng Feng said: "In Asia, Japanese and Korean street dances are top-notch, and they have all formed their own styles; Compared with them, we may be many years behind, but now we are thriving. Last year, the CCTV National TV Street Dance Competition regarded street dance as an independent dance for the first time, instead of simply classifying it as a popular dance. Nowadays, street dance has become a healthy, youthful and energetic dance darling, which can show the culture and connotation of young people and become a way of life for many young people. "
Just then, Zheng Fengshi's cell phone rang. That is a very fresh street dance music. Listen to him, "There are two kinds of street dance now, one is dancing and the other is breaking. The latter has a high risk factor, and dancing is the most common. We teach it. We saw Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai. When they were singing strong songs, the dancers behind them danced street dance. There is also RAIN, his R& and other Korean superstars; B's style often determines that some of his dance arrangements must be in hip-hop format. So when it comes to the influence of street dance in the pop music industry, there is only one word: strength! "
