The opening ceremony of the 11th National Paralympic Games and the 8th Special Olympics came to an end, the dreamy blue totem on the ground screen lined the smiles on the actors' faces more beautifully, and the three dancers were like light elves dotted in the center of the stage, blooming with youth. Every movement of theirs is on the beat, and every skill is skillfully mastered. However, who knows that they all have hearing defects.
Zhang Tianjiao is a professional dancer, when she was 1 year old, she was severely deaf due to a medical accident. In order to be able to communicate with people normally, Zhang Tianjiao insisted on learning lip language and sign language. Unable to make a sound, I touched my mother's throat a little bit. Through persistent practice, Zhang Tianjiao can basically communicate with people normally.
When she was a child, she saw "Thousand Hands Guanyin" on TV, and the graceful dance posture of these big sisters was deeply imprinted in her heart, when Zhang Tianjiao made up her mind to learn to dance. Eventually she became an actress in the China Disabled Arts Troupe, and was later admitted to the dance department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts and embarked on the path of a professional dancer.
For Zhang Tianjiao, the dance techniques on the stage are not difficult. But to perform the dance of this theme song, body movements, manners, and expressions are very critical. First of all, the director team chose to use eye-catching costume colors to express openness and confidence, and also designed dance movements with large amplitudes to make the overall effect look more stretched. "Everyone has been holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, rehearsing again and again, communicating with the director group again and again to adjust, and not tired of it." What we want is to jump to the best and give the audience a high-quality program. ”
"I think the meaning conveyed by 'Light in the Heart' is that everyone has valuable shining points, and we must not only emit our own light, but also see the light on others." Zhang Tianjiao said.
"Striving for self-improvement, this is our image." Live beautifully, that's what we look like. In the program, the lyrics sung by singer Lei Jia with deep affection are an encouragement to everyone and a true portrayal of the dancer Zhang Tianjiao's life path.
Zhang Tianjiao, now 26, has opened dance studios in Chengdu and Shanghai, with dance lovers of all ages among the students. The students in the dance studio are all able-bodied people, as long as they want to learn, Zhang Tianjiao will teach each other, and the students like this strong and beautiful little sister and have become very good friends with her. "I feel very satisfied because my dreams have all come true!"
Speaking of the future, Zhang Tianjiao said that life is to do whatever you want, and her biggest wish is to continue to improve dance skills and teach more knowledge to students.
