Spring in Chengdu has arrived, and Dai Dali's yard is full of greenery, and time is slowly flowing. "I want to jump to 80, it's my dream. Dai Dali said.
Dai Dali is "China's oldest pole dancer" and is called "pole dancing grandma" by netizens. It's unimaginable that at the age of 78, she is still insisting on this love. On April 17, the reporter came to Dai Dali's home in Pidu District and walked into the life of this elderly dancer.
The bedroom is a dance room
At the age of 78, he still insists on dancing
A few months ago, the pole dance studio was closed, and Dai Dali began practicing at home. Dai Dali's bedroom is not large, so in order to facilitate practice, she compressed the space of the bed and installed a steel pipe in the bedroom.
Dai Dali will spend half a day live almost every day, teaching fans to practice horizontal and vertical forks for free. When she is in high spirits, she will also dance on the pole.
Dai Dali broadcasts live almost every day
Before getting on the pole, Dai Dali would wipe the pole with a handkerchief, play a melodious song, take a deep breath, quickly climb the steel pipe, straighten his toes, spin, hang upside down, and hang in the air...... The movements are clean and neat, and the dancing is light and elegant.
On top of the steel pipe, she is agile and free, not defined and bound by age.
Muscle deterioration with age
The elderly dancers are also confused
At the age of 64, Dai Dali came into contact with pole dancing for the first time, thinking that she could climb the pole, but she didn't expect it to become a long-term hobby, bringing her a lot of attention and applause.
14 years have passed, and Dai Dali is 78 years old, but she has not stopped, but is constantly breaking through the limits.
Dai Dali showed reporters her latest moves, her body hanging upside down, her legs split upwards.
"I also get confused, and as I get older, my muscles are deteriorating, and my strength is not as strong as before. But over the years, my technique and flexibility have improved. Dai Dali said.
Tumbling down from the pole, Dai Dali was still a little gasping. The reporter tried it on the pole, and the support slipped down in less than a few seconds, and it was not easy to bear the weight of the whole body with both hands.
Grinding calluses on the hands, bruises on the calves, and suppuration on the ankles...... Dai Dali's body is always old wounds that have not healed, new injuries have arisen, and dancing is always a coexistence of wear and beauty.
The years are undefeated in the heart of the dancer
A new stage, a new dream
In life, Dai Dali always holds her head high, her steps are brisk, and she is capable. She seems to have a magic that makes the audience forget her age from time to time.
"In the live broadcast room, people often ask me to show my ID card to prove my age. Dai Dali said with a smile that whenever there was such a message, she would not pay attention to it. "I don't have to prove it to anyone. Dai Dali said.
In recent months, in addition to being busy in the live broadcast room, Dai Dali has also been traveling back and forth to various cities to record programs or shoot commercials. "I used to be able to go by myself, but now that I'm older, I still need to be accompanied by my family. ”
Returning to reality, the pole dancing grandmother who is not satisfied with the old still needs her family to rely on.
From "China's Got Talent" to "Asia's Got Talent", and then to the stage of American reality shows to be seen by more people, Dai Dali said that she realized her dream of going out of Asia and going to the world. Now, Dai Dali has set a new goal, which is to jump to the age of 80.
"I will be 79 years old in October this year, and I feel that there is no problem jumping to 80 years old. As long as you can jump, you will keep going. Dai Dali said.
