When writing this article, in fact, Xingcheng Jun was very excited in his heart, and many emotions could not be described in words. From last night to now, Star City Jun, who could not calm down in his heart, did not even sleep, only because of the person who made Star City Jun know street dance for the first time - ACKY.
Whether they are new to street dance or have been dancing for many years, every dancer will be familiar with the dancers who promote street dance culture.
The Lockers，Electric Boogaloos，Rock Steady Crew，Jabbawockeez，Zulu kingz……
Although some of the founders of hip-hop have been away from us for a long time, their contribution to hip-hop culture is more or less confirmed by every hip-hop enthusiast.
Once the world's locking was the lockers, breaking was the crazy leg, and popping was the boogaloos style.
The inheritance and evolution of generation after generation have allowed more and more dance genres to join the street dance.
I still remember about 20 years ago, Xingcheng Jun, who lived in the military compound, rarely saw foreign information, let alone street dance, or even dance.
But one day, the figure of several Asians made the young Star City Jun see a new continent beyond recognition. I can only remember what kind of hip-hop contest is written on the title. In the interview, a foreigner said that it was hip-hop dance, the style type was XXX, and he was dancing very casually while saying it.
Wow, that's cool! Why can his fingers move like robots, one joint at a time, and still vibrate! The little Star City Jun also imitated.
Although I couldn't see it, I found that I couldn't even shake it, although I couldn't see it at the time, but now I think about it a little...
Oh my God, absolutely unsightly...
Since then, I have never been exposed to street dance again, I have never seen street dance again, and my understanding of street dance has stayed in the stage of "break dance", or only the stage of "polishing glass", "space step", "Michael Jackson is dancing street dance".
But it is this only a few street dances, and later star city Jun, who faced the college entrance examination, also decided: because the college entrance examination suppressed the pressure for a year, it must be released after the test! Be sure to be your true self, and be sure to try what you have always wanted to try in your heart!
After going to college, Star City Jun fulfilled his street dance dream as he wished and became a bboy.
Once, when the street dance club was practicing dance, several popping seniors were holding mobile phones to watch videos, screaming while watching, and giving hands to the mobile phone screen.
Look over, the eyes are familiar, too familiar! I must have seen this man!
"Brother, who is this?"
"ACKY! Don't you know? Yes, you just started to contact, you did not learn popping, do not know is quite normal. This is a Big Japanese god, and in the early years, poppers all over Asia and even the world basically watched his video to learn popping. In 2000, he was also on TV, and there were still shots of him interviewed by the Central Station! ”
Japan, zero years, on TV, interviews! "Didn't you pop that with your finger during the interview?"
"Yes! That's him! Do you know him? ”
"The first time I saw hip-hop was when he did an interview on TV."
Think about it, 47-year-old ACKY Sang has been jumping for more than twenty years, and for the poppers, ACKY is a teacher. For hip-hop, ACKY is legendary.
In "Street Dance 4", the nelson vs ACKY battle of the century moved the audience, and the 47-year-old ACKY Sang integrated all the language into the dance.

Then, the technique is handed over to you, and I come to show the soul.
ACKY Sang never cared about the championship title after he became famous, nor did he care about winning or losing the game. Whether it is battle or showcase, no matter who you are facing, ACKY will do his best every time he dances, and this attitude worthy of respect from all dancers explains what is called RECONSIDERATION.
Because he treats everyone around him, especially the younger generations, he does not skimp on love and sincerity.
After KOD5 ended in 2009, when Fishhead first plucked up the courage to go to Acky and say he wanted to take his little lesson, he said you don't have to give me money, just give me a KOD T-shirt.
Feng Zheng and other Chinese dancers go to Japan to compete, and he will pay a month's salary to entertain everyone to dinner.
At the height of China's epidemic, he called and sent WeChat messages one by one to inquire about Chinese dancers, and donated his referee fees to Wuhan to let Li Yulong (DJ Alone) buy medical supplies.
In February 2020, an online street dance competition invited him to be a referee, but he proposed: "I serve as a referee for free, and the remuneration is donated to Wuhan, and I hope to contribute a small force to China's fight against the epidemic." In this way, Acky donated 50,000 yen to Wuhan for labor costs.
Sincere and gentle, regardless of borders, with great love, this is hip-hop, this is Acky.
What he does is really "PEACE & LOVE", not for wins and losses, not for fame and fortune. Regardless of nationality, regardless of age, regardless of gender, everything is to spread love.
If you really want to say touch, or say touch, the word touch is more appropriate. The most touching thing is that when ACKY was eliminated at the end, he said, "It's really good to keep dancing!" ”
Subsequently, one of ACKY's requests, or rather, was the hope of hip-hoppers all over the world. Come to a battle without winning or losing, without elimination, and enjoy the battle!
At that time, when this sentence was said, no matter who it was, the emotions that surged up in the heart could not be described in words, and perhaps only cheering could express the excitement of the heart.
Every popper on stage has no win or loser in mind, no skill, no competition, Dance for respect.
In fact, from the moment the music remembered, the tears could not be stopped. DJ Alone deserves to be a top DJ, A night to remember, and the song name represents this moment!
Although it is a battle, strictly speaking, this moment is a party, a party initiated by ACKY Sang, popper! A party co-organized by "This is Hip-Hop" and belongs to hip-hop dancers all over the world!
Although the epidemic is still there, everyone will travel thousands of miles, cross the ocean, come to China for quarantine a few months in advance, and participate in this street dance party of the world!
Subsequently, a famous scene belonging to the paradise of street dance dancers can become the most successful period since the four seasons of "This is Street Dance" in just a dozen seconds, and it is also a rare moment for dancers in the history of street dance to realize their dreams.
Simple Fresno, the basic skill of popping, but when the dancers of the whole stage dance together, this place becomes paradise! The angels in heaven are dancing happily!
Although, ACKY Sang was eliminated, but in the next re-election match, everyone will cheer for you!
You said on Weibo, "I did it! "So, I believe that the last place in the final 16 is you!"
Everyone understands that with your strength, resurrection is no problem! Winning the championship is also the hope of everyone!
In fact, since learning street dance in 2011, Star City Jun has directly or indirectly experienced many events in the street dance circle. But what really makes Star City Jun unforgettable is not these, but the street dance spirit brought by hiphop culture.
Street dance for battle is not for the purpose of winning and losing, although the championship trophy and competition results can prove a lot, but a real dancer is not just dancing to win the prize.
PEACE & LOVE, RESPECT, KEEP REAL, these real cores are the most valuable assets of dancers. This is exactly what many people don't understand and ask, why are you all proud of dancing in the street!
Because we do hip-hop
So we're proud
We dance for the hip-hop we love
We dance to pass on the hip-hop dance
