Entertaining Children

The performance hall of the Dorsett Hotel in Los Angeles, which is the venue for the finals of the "National Street Dance Competition", is already noisy and crowded, and it is very lively.

Due to the stunning performances in the previous performances, the "Torrent" dance team was arranged by the producer to be the finale in the finale. Now the first three teams have all performed. The scenes are wonderful, the action is gorgeous, and the audience is in high spirits. The seven judges on the scene also gave very good evaluations. Next, it depends on how the "torrent" performs.

After the performance of the third team, Xiao Yao, who was waiting in the background with the players for the time being, waved his fists to cheer everyone up and said: "Come on! Although the three teams in front performed well, as long as we can perform well, we will rehearse If you are not at the same level as you were at the time, then the champion must be our "torrent". I will work hard in the audience to cheer for you."

"No, you shouldn't say you, but us." Paul grabbed Xiao Yao who was about to turn around and leave to the audience.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao didn't understand.

"It means, this last game, you will go with us." TJ interjected.

"We brought your clothes too." Zhou Jingyi took out a neatly folded outfit from her bag and said. Although Xiao Yao didn't intend to go on stage, but such a fun thing, Xiao Yao also prepared a set for himself. During normal rehearsals, he would also wear this LED suit to play with the players, but considering that he will not be able to play in today's final, he is the only one among all the players who didn't wear this LED suit to the scene, but who? Thinking of the team members, they brought him directly.

"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise, "I'm not an American, so I can't participate. If it's discovered...no...not if, I've already appeared in front of the three judges during the preliminary competition, And I also explained my identity. If I take the stage, the judges will definitely not be able to see me, and according to the regulations, your grades will be cancelled."

"So what?" Paul curled his lips and said, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here at all, so this last dance is also the most important dance, you must be with us, even if We also recognized the results that were cancelled.”

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously, "As long as I go up, our best result is fourth place, but we obviously have a great chance to win the championship, this is the champion of the "National Street Dance Competition" Isn’t it just for this championship that we have put in so much hard work during this time? Could it be that we are just for the fourth place?”

"We really don't care about the title of champion now!" Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "When we first formed this team to participate in the competition, we never thought that we could win the championship. It was after you joined us, from you We only had this ambition since the "Zombie Dance" in China. Do you remember what I told you about the original intention of our team to participate in this competition? It was to be able to shine in the competition and be favored by others. Get job opportunities related to dance and personal career prospects. Now we are selected by Mary to shoot MVs and concert backup dancers, and Santos has selected us to make movies. Our goals have been achieved. If this is the case, why are we still persistent? For this title? We just want you to be on stage with us right now."

"Have you all discussed it beforehand?" Xiao Yao looked at the other team members and said.

All the team members met Xiao Yao's gaze and nodded earnestly together.

"Just keep it from me?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"Yeah," Paul said with a smile, "we are afraid that if you disagree with what we said in advance, you will sneak away in order to let us win this championship."

"Look, the current situation is that if you don't come on stage, we won't be on stage. Let's just abstain in this last round, you can figure it out." TJ also said with a smile.

"That's... okay." Xiao Yao nodded movedly. Everyone talks about this,

Xiao Yao could no longer refuse.

"Let us welcome tonight's fourth team and the last team tonight, the "Torrent" street dance troupe from Calabasas." The host's voice suddenly came from the stage.

"Oops, it's time to play, there's no time." Paul yelled, and then directed, "Girls, turn back. Boys come over and form a circle. Jan, you change your clothes here, hurry up!"

Xiao Yao didn't hesitate, and immediately changed into the clothes in the circle of the team members. The upper body was okay, just take off the jacket and put on the top of the dance suit. The lower body was a little awkward, and I had to take off the trousers I was wearing, and put on trousers for dancing. However, a dozen or so boys surrounded him quite tightly, so Xiao Yao changed his clothes on the spot in the passageway backstage.

"Wait," seeing Xiao Yao quickly changed his clothes and was about to put gloves on his hands, Paul stopped him aloud, handed over his own pair of gloves with light controllers, and said, "This You will also be in control of the lights next time." With that said, with the other hand, he took the pair of gloves originally held by Xiao Yao, and put them on his own.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao didn't hesitate, took Paul's gloves and put them on his hands. The two are about the same size, and their palms are about the same size, so exchanging gloves temporarily doesn't have any effect.

Facing the enthusiastic cheers and screams of the audience, the "Torrent" dance troupe collectively ran onto the stage. Different from the preparation posture of the previous few teams scattered together, the dozen or so members of the "Torrent" dance troupe rushed onto the stage directly. Formed a column.

The LED lights on their bodies are their big trick, but this trick is not released as soon as they play. If you just run on stage with all the lights on, not only will the stage effect be much worse, but the audience's sense of surprise will also be much weaker. So there is still a period of time before this dance without using the LED lights on the body. In order to be brilliant during this period of time, Xiao Yao arranged the movements for the opening part of this dance to be the hip-hop version of "Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara" that borrowed from the dance of "Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara" in his previous life. To put it simply, when their hands are stretched out, they are not soft human arms, but mechanical arms in a mechanical dance.

With live music playing. The team members standing in a row stretched out their "mechanical arms" in different directions at the same time, as if a body had dozens of arms in an instant. The judges who were facing them and some of the audience were instantly shocked by this strange and unique shape. Accompanied by the drum beats in the music, more than a dozen pairs of arms changed several different positions, just like "Avalokitesvara" changed several different shapes. After enough screams and cheers from the audience, more than a dozen bodies Jumping to both sides to varying degrees, it seems that a person has more than a dozen clones in an instant. This action immediately made the audience cheer even more.

The next minute or so is the time for relatively conventional hip-hop moves. For the audience at the scene, many of these moves are still novel and interesting, but compared to the stunning opening appearance and The action, the cheers of the audience inevitably dropped a little.

There are seven judges for this final round, among them, Piper Hugo, Mary Jane and Santos Perez have all seen three performances of "Torrent". Compared with the previous three teams, it is not bad at all, but in the feelings of the three of them, it seems that this team does not make any "moths", or surprises, as if it lacks something.

But soon they didn't feel this way anymore, because with Xiao Yao's movement of hitting his head, the chest, back, waist and outside of the arms of all a dozen people on the stage lit up many densely packed areas at the same time. small white light.

"Wow!" Seeing this cool scene that had never been seen before, the seven judges and the audience opened their mouths.

But this is far from all. The movements of the team members became neat and consistent, and at the end of a certain movement, the small lights on the whole team also changed different colors in unison. Several colors such as white, yellow, orange, green, blue, etc. are also neatly switched along with neat dance movements.

"It can also change color!" Many audience members in the audience exclaimed.

Because everyone in the team has their own strengths, although the Qi dance part is neat, beautiful and imposing, the difficulty of the movements is correspondingly low. Naturally, "Torrent" will not just continue to dance in groups like this. It still has to show some more technically difficult movements, and the performance of difficult movements must only be a one-man show with a relatively small number of people, a two-person show and a little bit. The trio danced.

The neat group dance lasted for about 30 seconds, and it was time for individual performances. The dancers fanned out to the back and sides of the stage, and squatted or stood as the background, and three of them somersaulted to the middle of the stage. And when they came to the center of the stage for the last somersault and landed, the lights on their bodies changed from white to purple the moment they landed, while the lights on the players behind them who did not move were still white.

"How did you do it?" A question flashed across the minds of all the audience and judges.

However, the performance on the stage was still going on, and the audience and judges could only temporarily put aside their doubts and continue watching.

The difficult floor movement of the three of them was completed. When they finished their last movement, they slapped the ground to get up, and the lights on everyone, including the three of them, turned red again. But this time, not only those parts of the upper body, but also the small red lights lit up on the parts of the legs facing the bones.

"It's still on the legs!" Another audience shouted.

Then two more mechanical dancers came up from behind with mechanical dance steps. When they walked to the middle of the stage and took the last step, the lights on the two of them also turned blue individually.

This performance was about to drive the audience crazy, but what really drove them crazy was the last movement of the whole dance.

Zhou Jingyi was the last to appear on the stage. When she appeared, the surrounding background team members had changed their positions and postures, lying on the ground with their feet inside and head outside, forming a circle, surrounding Zhou Jingyi in the middle.

Zhou Jingyi did not show any hip-hop moves, but did a one-legged spin in a modern dance move. Accompanied by his spin, the team members who were lying on the ground also raised their upper bodies in turn and then fell down. A humanoid wave was formed that spun with him. The most exciting thing is that the lights on the team members lying on the ground are all white, but the lights on Zhou Jingyi's body are constantly changing colors when spinning, and when each team member straightens up, the color of the lights on the upper body It also turned into the same color as the lights on Zhou Jingyi's body at that time, and the lights on the legs of the lower body were still white like the other lying team members. When they lay down again, the whole body turned into white lights again.

In the end, Zhou Jingyi's spin ended with her knees on the ground, and the moment her knees fell, all the lights on everyone went out, and the whole dance ended with the audience's crazy screams.

All the members of "Torrent" stood up again on the stage amidst the screams of the audience and the standing applause of all seven judges. After a few minutes, the audience's screams gradually died down, and the judges slowly sat back in their chairs. (To be continued.)
