The Dance touched me; 最令我感动的舞蹈表演

这一生中我看过无数的舞蹈,歌剧与舞台剧的演出;我也看过世界第一流的舞蹈家们的演出,他们都是很神奇的。看他们的演出使我不断得到鼓励与欲望,这使我有不断进步的欲望与力量。
不过,我所看过最令我感动的一个舞蹈表演,并不是来自任何专业舞蹈家,更不是任何第一流的舞蹈团。
几年前,我所在的舞蹈团为一家“唐氏儿童综合症”医院筹款演出;演出完毕后。这家医院为了答谢我们,就邀请我们到他们医院参加他们的一个聚餐。当时院长说他们医院的小孩为我们准备了一个舞蹈演出。
他们都是一群“唐氏儿童综合症”的小孩;他们虽然不能和一般人那样正常的活动自己的四肢,他们虽然没有很好的音乐感,他们更没有很好的舞蹈底子。不过他们的认真与真诚,却感动了我;甚至感动了在场的所有人。
他们的眼神是那么的真诚与坚毅;仿佛在告诉我们:“我懂得只有这么多,不过,我很想与您分享我这一刻的喜悦!”
看着他们用尽了力气的舞动着身躯,面上那纯真的笑容,我的眼泪再也忍不住了。。。
这些小孩让我明白到,真正感动人的舞蹈是用心跳的。。

For all these years I have watched countless dance, opera and theatrical performances; I've seen world-class performances from those top dancers who are very fantastic.
From watching all these performances have made my desire to go further, to be encouraged to continue to progress and to further improve. This is my desire and strength. However, there is one dance performance that I was most touched, which is not from any professional dancers, neither from any first-class dancers nor dance group.
I remembered few years ago, where I performed for a Down Syndrome children hospital fund-raising event. As a token of appreciation by the hospital, we were invited to attend their dinner. And at that time, the president of the hospital was proud to present us a dance performance by their very own group of down syndrome children. These children are not like any normal person and did not have proper coordination between their arms and legs movement and further more they do not have any dance foundation and do not have a very good sense of music like normal people who be able to dance. But it was their seriousness and determination which touches me. Their eyes are so sincere and firm when they are looking at us; just like telling us: "I only know this much, but I would like to share the joy of this moment with all of you!". I can't stop my tears when i see their exhausted body hiding behind their innocent smile just to do whatever they could . . .These children makes me understand that a dance that really can touch a person heart, comes from the dancers heart.

My Philosophy of dance: Kai Beng

1. 我喜欢舞蹈的最主要原因是因为,在舞蹈的世界里是没有对手的;唯有你与镜子中的自己。

The main reason why I love “dance” so much is because, in the world of “dance”; there is no “Competitor”, but just you and yourself in the mirror.


2. 舞蹈与音乐是一种人的精神与肉体的对话方式;也是一种人与人的精神交流管道,因此舞蹈与音乐是不分种族,肤色,宗教与任何差异的。更绝对不是一种政治的手段。

Dance and music is a dialogue between human spirits and body; a channel of spirituals communication for human bring. There for dance and music, regardless of race, color, religion and any differences. More is definitely not a political tool.
