The most common entertainment for ancient Chinese kings was to appreciate dance, and I believe many people have the same question as I do: Isn't it boring to watch dancing every day?
When I saw Zhu Jinhui's Chinese-style dance "Beauty", I realized how superficial my previous ideas were.
Today's introduction for you is a rare dry goods variety show in China, the first season of Douban score 9.2, the second season of Douban score of 9.3.
That's right, it's Dance Storm.
In fact, I know nothing about dance, and the most famous dancers in China have only heard of Venus and Yang Liping.
I was poor in my knowledge of dance, but it didn't affect my feelings about the beauty of dance from the show.
And Zhu Jinhui's "Beauty" is the key to help me open the door to this new world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > guide to the pit: "Charming"</h1>
Zhu Jinhui's dance is appreciated by both elegant and customary, and the insider can see her exquisite choreography and superb dance skills, and laymen like me can also see its unique characteristics, so as to get visual appreciation and spiritual pleasure.
Her dance is not very ambitious, but it is wonderful that the theme is clear.
As the name suggests, "Charming" is to express an important aspect of female beauty - femininity.
Although we are also encouraging neutral beauty today, we can applaud the heroic stage image of Li Sidani and Song Qian, but charm is always the unique charm of women.
How does Zhu Jinhui express the theme of "charming"?
Three words can be summarized: light, soft, and pretty.
Light: the lightness of the posture, the beauty of the makeup, the lightness of the props.
Light can reflect the beauty of the dancer's posture, but also make the characters on the stage appear more youthful and energetic. It's the beauty of youth. The beauty of "light" is vividly reflected in the last few jumps, which is completely different from the old dragon clock, and only youth has such a flattering attitude.
Softness: The softness of the body, the softness of the movements, the softness of the connection.
Softness is the most able to distinguish between men and women, and female softness, like flowing water, seems to be boneless. Like the shadow puppet scene, those few consecutive action changes are amazing. It's feminine femininity.
Pretty: the handsomeness of the expression, the spirit of the performance, the lightness of the steps.
In fact, some are similar to the role of Zhang Nala in "Diao Man Princess", if you are ambiguous, full of confidence and do not care. Such a beautiful girl can grasp the heart of a man.
It is no wonder that even the well-informed Zhang Yixing will find it difficult to control himself after seeing "Beauty", in fact, this is the most reasonable and intuitive feeling of any male audience. Not only Zhang Yixing was fascinated, I believe all the audience was also fascinated.
It was this dance "Beauty" that made me enter the pit of "Dance Storm" and finish the second season in one breath, only to find that this show can be called a "treasure show".

The most successful thing about Dance Storm is the openness of the model and the stickiness to the content.
The show itself is not self-congratulatory, it still continues the model of most variety competition programs, including the setting of the jury seat.
Although renamed as a forensic officer, the nature is no different from that of those mentors.
A few days ago, we still remember that some program instructors who repeatedly rushed to the hot search attracted all the public's attention to themselves, which was suspected of putting the cart before the horse.
In contrast, in "Dance Storm", the four forensic officers, including Zhang Yixing, did not have any move to steal the limelight.
Every review is also an encouragement-oriented, professional-first principle, without a word of nonsense.
Most of the show still revolves around the contestants, around the stage. Like the 140 cameras that surround the stage, they all prove that dance is the center of the show.
The rich content is precisely the biggest reason why it can stand at 9.3 points.
In addition to Zhu Jinhui, the other contestants in the show also all have great beginnings: each episode will bring a new theme of the innovative expert Li Xing, every dance is like Xie Xin who is asking philosophy, national treasure-level ballet master Tan Yuanyuan and so on.
Each of them knows eighteen martial arts and is able to form their own unique style.
On this stage, there are no tears and stories, only strength and innovation.
Because these dancers are all elites who have been trained for thousands of years, in their dictionary, they have never been opportunistic, and only believe in sweat and hard work.
They represent not the future of variety shows, but the future of Chinese dance.
