The Dawn Dance Troupe's training location is in a creative park. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis was originally an industrial area, but with the development of the city, the factory was relocated to a nearby suburban county, and a large area of old factories in the industrial area was abandoned. Later, it was bought and re-planned and renovated into a creative park, where many groups and organizations engaged in so-called avant-garde art settled in.

The Dawn Dance Troupe has rented a dance rehearsal studio converted from a large factory for a long time, which can be regarded as a fixed location for their activities.

The rehearsal room was located in the old-fashioned red-brick building, and Xiao Yao had not even entered the rehearsal room, but he was already attracted by the colorful graffiti on the outside wall and stopped to look at it for a while. Not only the rehearsal room, but also many other buildings near the park are covered in graffiti on the walls on both sides of the road, giving people the feeling of being in the black section of Brooklyn, New York.

Xiao Yao didn't expect that there was such a place in Yanjing City, so he immediately took out his camera excitedly and shot at the graffiti on these walls.

Entering the rehearsal room, Xiao Yao found that this place was really good, there were four double-door windows with a height of 1.5 meters on each wall, and the afternoon sun shone in so that the light of nearly 100 square meters was very sufficient, and the whole space was bright. The smooth and clean wooden floor is not visible at all, so I think it is used and cleaned frequently. There is a set of combined speakers against the wall, and there is a loudspeaker around the room, which makes the sound effect in the slightly empty space also very good. The only downside is that there seems to be a mirror the size of an entire wall.

"Yo, Sister Xi, why did you bring someone to play photography? At such a young age, is the photography technique good?" Cheng Xi took Xiao Yao into the rehearsal room, and immediately some members of the dance troupe came over to say hello, and when they saw Xiao Yao holding a camera in his hand, they naturally thought that he was a photographer.

"Don't make a fuss, this is our company's honored guest. Cheng Xi smiled and said, "Is Chen Chen here?" Everyone come here, I have something to announce." ”

"What's the matter with me?" said a young man in a crooked baseball cap.

Xiao Yao looked at this person and found that he was wearing a baseball cap, a wide T-shirt, fat trousers with cropped pants on his lower body, black board shoes, and a silver metal chain hanging around his neck, and a six-pointed star pendant wrapped in a circle under the chain. The whole person is full of hip-hop taste, revealing a strong street style.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Yao. He gave us an opportunity to work. Cheng Xi pointed at Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have opened a studio and are recruiting a special dance team. Xiao Yao, the son of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, recommended our dance company to his parents' studio. As long as we seize this opportunity and sign a contract with the studio, after our dance studio is established in the future, we will not worry about not being famous. ”

"Yo, there's such a good thing. The crowd cheered.

"I'm just recommending it, and it's up to you to succeed. Xiao Yao stretched out his hands and pressed them weakly, cooling the cheering crowd.

"We don't lack quality, we just lack opportunities. Someone said with confidence.

"Brothers, how about we show a hand to the future boss's son?" someone suggested.

"Okay, come, open your eyes to Xiao Xiao. The crowd responded.

"I have the ability, and I have the second generation of stars as friends. Chen Chen approached Cheng Xi and said, "By the way, you haven't said anything about looking for me." ”

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's this second-generation star friend who wants to know you. Cheng Xi said with a smile, "You are more capable than me, people heard that you can play hip-hop, rap, and graffiti, and said that they wanted to know you, so they followed me here." People are coming for you. ”

"Hello, Chen Chen, right? I'm Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "I'm quite interested in street culture, please give me more advice in the future." ”

"Don't dare to give advice, play together when you have time, and communicate with each other. Chen Chen smiled politely and stretched out his hand.

Xiao Yao didn't shake hands with him normally, but pulled his palm, bumped his shoulders with him, and made a fist with the other hand and slapped him lightly on the back. This very black and street greeting method immediately won Chen Chen's favor, and his smile became brighter and brighter.

"You guys will slowly get acquainted with each other and play slowly in the future, it's not easy for us to get together, let's practice dancing first, didn't everyone say that you want to show Xiao Yao a hand?" Cheng Xi interjected with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll see. Xiao Yao smiled, went to the edge of the venue and found a chair to sit down.

There are about fifteen or sixteen people in the entire dance team, with Cheng Xi and Chen Chen as the core, each divided into two parts, and there are about seven or eight people on each side. Xiao Yao watched for more than an hour, which was a feast for his eyes. Except for the lack of tap dance, Xiao Yao basically saw all the dances he knew in more than an hour. Not to mention the ballet and modern dance of the seven or eight people led by Cheng Xi, there are a few street dancers led by Chen Chen, and the types are actually very complete, lock dance, mechanical dance, break dance There are various street dance styles, and difficult movements such as handstand and Thomas slalom are also endless, so that Xiao Yao also has a shocking understanding of the strength of this dance team.

However, Xiao Yao watched for more than an hour and also found a problem. So, he couldn't help but shout to stop, walked to the center of the venue and asked Cheng Xi and Chen Chen, "I have a question I want to ask." ”

"What a question, you say. Cheng Xi said. At the same time, Chen Chen also stood up.

"Are you a team or two teams?" Xiao Yao said strangely, "Why do I see that you are two distinct parts?

"Huh?" Now it was Cheng Xi and Chen Chen's turn, and it was strange. "Preppy style and street style are two very different dance styles, we have only seen a combination of ballet and modern dance, but we have never seen a combination of modern dance and street dance. It doesn't match at all. Cheng Xi replied.

"As for the team," Chen Chen continued, "of course we are a team, but we are also composed of two different styles of parts, which is also to meet the needs of different performances. If you need hip-hop style, I will lead people out, and if you need ballet modern dance, Cheng Xi will lead people out, and we will each be responsible for the part we are good at, otherwise why would our team have me and Cheng Xi as two captains? . ”

Xiao Yao nodded first, and suddenly said to Chen Chen: "I understand what you mean. Then he shook his head at the two of them and said, "But I don't agree with your statement. Who says that college dance and hip-hop dance can't be combined? If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that you won't have it, and how do you know if you haven't tried it. Speaking of which, Xiao Yao remembered that there are no movies like "Stepup" in this world, and there are no dance talent shows like "SoyouthinkYouCanDance", whether in the United States or China, it seems that no one has tried to combine college dance and street dance.

In that case, why not give it a try now? Cheng Xi and Chen Chen's dancing skills and skills are no problem, in terms of height and physique, although Cheng Xi is not as petite as Jenna Diwan, but Chen Chen, who is 1.8 meters tall and has strong muscles, should have no problem lifting Cheng Xi, who is 1.65 meters tall and slender. It just so happens that Xiao Yao has a deep memory of the dance performance of the hero and heroine at the end of "Stepup", so it is better to let Chen Chen and Cheng Xi restore that dance and see how it works.

Just do it when you think of it, Xiao Yao said to Chen Chen and Cheng Xi: "I have an idea, which is to combine college dance and street dance, and now I have a lot of movements and ideas in my head, let me tell you, how about you try to dance?"

"What do you mean... You want to choreograph for us?" Cheng Xi hesitated: "Didn't you say that you wanted to learn choreography from me at noon?

"No, it won't. Xiao Yao said honestly, "It's just that I have some ideas in my head, just like a picture, I can only describe them to you, and then try to do some demonstrations, hoping that you can realize the ideas in my head." ”

Xiao Yao doesn't know how to choreograph, and he doesn't know anything about how to direct dancers. But he has been in the crew a lot and knows how the director talks to the actors, so he can only use this method to communicate with Chen Chen and Cheng Xi, explaining and demonstrating actions one by one, so that they can understand their intentions and desired effects in this way.

"This kid has good physical flexibility and coordination. Chen Chen watched Xiao Yao explain and demonstrate to them one by one. Although it did not have the beauty of the dance troupe members when they danced, those individual dance moves made the professional Chen Chen see at a glance that Xiao Yao's good physical fitness, especially the flexibility and coordination of the body, was not much better than those who danced professionally.

"Of course, people also practice martial arts, not the dance of our dance, but the martial arts of martial arts. He just knocked out Xue Gang from our club in the ring this morning. People have also practiced for more than ten years, so of course there is nothing to say about their physical fitness. Cheng Xi said.

"Xue Gang, is that muscle monster in your club?" Chen Chen said in surprise, "That guy's physique is one size bigger than Xiao Yao, didn't you say that he also practiced boxing?

"Yes, you said that if he hadn't worked hard for more than ten years, where could he have beaten Xue Gang, and it would not be surprising that he could have this physical fitness. Cheng Xi nodded.

"Brothers, sisters," Xiao Yao skimmed Cheng Xi and Chen Chen chatting, and shouted: "Do you understand these movements?" After such contact, Xiao Yao can be regarded as familiar with the people in the dance troupe, and the title is casual.

"Understood. Chen Chen said with a smile, "These movements are not very difficult, but there are two problems," Chen Chen raised two fingers, and continued: "First, my team has modern dance moves, I also have national standard moves, Cheng Xi They have street dance moves, and it is not difficult for the dance style movements that we are usually used to, but we have not tried the other party's dance style moves, I don't know if we can practice." Second, if we learn a few modern dance and ballroom dance movements, Cheng Xi and the others learn a few street dance movements, is it a fusion of the two styles?"

"Okay," Xiao Yao also raised two fingers and said: "The first question, you are both professional dancers, it shouldn't be difficult to learn a few moves from each other, give you a day, please help each other take these moves." Second, facts speak louder than words. There is no ready-made background music for this dance, you practice the movements today, and I will get the background music out when I go back today. Tomorrow I will come over with video equipment and musical instruments, and we will officially rehearse with background music, and record the rehearsal scene, how the effect is, we will see when the time comes. ”

"Background music, can you make it today?" Chen Chen looked at Xiao Yao and said. Although he is very familiar with hip-hop music, he has no ability to compose, so it feels incredible that Xiao Yao said that he would make background music one day.

"You'll know tomorrow. Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not too early, I'll go back first." I'll come here tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, do you have any problems with time?"

"No problem, we're waiting to see how your non-choreographer works out. Chen Chen patted Xiao Yao and said.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Xiao Yao stretched out his fist and touched Chen Chen, and beckoned to Cheng Xi, which was goodbye.
