ignites dreams and illuminates the future. In order to promote the quality education of young children in Zhejiang and show the spiritual outlook and artistic style of young children in the new era, the Zhejiang Provincial Dancers Association officially launched the 2022 Zhejiang Children's Dance "Future Star" Growth Plan. After fierce competition in the nine constituencies, 100 young contestants stood out. On July 14, the "Future Star" master class officially opened, and the young dancers conducted special training for the performance in their respective classes.
The instructor group of this "Future Star" master class is composed of well-known dancers Shan Chong , Wen Xiaochao, and Li Meijing, and Teacher Han Jin serves as art consultant. The dancers grouped and led the classical dance class, modern dance class, and ethnic folk dance classes for professional dance training, group work arrangement and work polishing and other training content.
On the morning of July 14, the little dancers of the classical dance squad started special training on time in the dance rehearsal hall on the second floor of the Zhejiang Song and Dance Theater . Classical dance originated in ancient China, has a long history and profound history. It combines many movements and shapes in martial arts and operas, and has high requirements for the form and posture of the dancer. The instructor of the classical dance class is Shan Chong, a well-known dancer, a national first-class actor and vice chairman of the Chinese dancers association, the performance gold medal of the first National CCTV TV Dance Competition, the most popular actor award for audiences, and the performance gold medal of the first National "Lotus Cup" Dance Competition, and the performance gold medal of the "Queen of Chinese Dance Drama". Since she was 11 years old, she has been with dance day and night for 42 years. Now she is over the age of knowing her destiny and is still active on the stage. In art, Shan Chong has always insisted on using dance to express truth, goodness and beauty and spread positive energy.
Speaking of this special training, Teacher Shan Chong believes that it is different from previous rehearsals. There are 24 students in the classical dance class, and the age difference between the young dancers is relatively large, the youngest of whom is only 8 years old, and everyone's dancing skills are also uneven, which brings certain difficulties to the special training. During the rehearsal, Teacher Shan Chong adjusted the emotions of each child by adjusting the teaching methods, trying to adapt to them, rather than forcing them to accept their teaching methods. Under the guidance of the little dancers in the classical dance class, Shan Chong, practiced over and over again, dancing with his hands and feet. During the rehearsal, Teacher Shan Chong kept striving for the little dancers to excel in every movement and strived to be perfect in the dance.
Jin Luyan is a student in the classical dance class. She started learning dance at the age of 11. At the beginning, she was like many children. She only felt that dancing was beautiful, and standing on the stage was enviable. But through the training, performance and competitions, she gained a lot, becoming more confident, calm, and enjoying the stage more. Zhu Zixin, who is also a student of the classical dance class, insists on learning dance for so many years because of her father. Because my father has never missed any of her rehearsals, because during the competition, my father was her "number one fan". Because of my father's persistence, she also persisted. In the future, she will also be motivated to become a brilliant dancer on the stage. Through the special training of Shan Chong Teacher, students are guided to feel, express and spread beauty. The basic skills, expressiveness and appeal of the young dancers have been improved in all aspects, and they are more confident in the next performance.
When I saw the students sweating and working hard for the show, Teacher Shan Chong was deeply touched. She said that there will be many ups and downs and hardships on the road of dance, and the pain and pressure that the physical and psychological endured are not well known to outsiders. However, the beautiful experiences and life experiences brought to people by dance are also irreplaceable. I hope every child can become a star of the future, and I also hope that this event will allow the seeds of dance in their hearts to take root, sprout and bloom in the future growth. I hope they can fully display it in the exhibition.
2022 Zhejiang Children's Dance "Future Star" Growth Plan is a practical action of the Zhejiang Dancers Association to implement the "two firsts" mobilization order. It has created a more professional, innovative and international growth platform for children who love dance, so that children in Zhejiang can stand on the stage of the highest level in China and appreciate the style of the highest-end dancers in China. Children living in Zhejiang are happy because they are the first beneficiaries of the demonstration and pioneering. Through special training, while experiencing the dance postures of the highest-end dancers in China, we also broaden our horizons, showing the positive and upward spirit of Zhejiang youth in the new era, allowing them to be participants on the road to common prosperity, exert their potential and ability, and let the flower of common prosperity bloom.
Life is endless and dancing never stops. Ignite your dreams and illuminate the future! I believe that after the training and polishing of the master class, the little dancers will surely bloom on the stage of the exhibition on July 19.
