Thirteen Art Festival | Zhang Xiushu: Square Dance is the "adhesive" of us and society

From 10 minutes of jumping, it is not a problem to breathe to jump for 1 hour. Zhang Xiushu, Plaza Dance enthusiasts in Beiyi District, Chongqing, took less than half a year. But for her, jumping square dance can exercise the body, and more importantly, gathering people and people, so that people and society have a closer connection with such a small hobby.

Zhang Xiushu works in a large local catering company in Chongqing, mainly serving the hotel. It turned out that she was struggling to go upstairs, and now walks like a young man. She attributed such changes to the dance of the Plaza, saying that it is more important to change the mentality: the communication circle has expanded a lot, and the horizon has also opened up. Even communicating with people at work is even more natural.

"When I jumped at first, I couldn't let go, I was afraid that others felt that I couldn't jump well. But other dancers encouraged me, and my family was very supportive. I just jumped, and I could jump more every day. Practicing step by step until the body is getting better and better, the anemia of many years is gone. "Zhang Xiushu described his state, and he went out with a smile every day and went home happily.

Honestly, there was a lot of controversy about square dance. Some people say that the square dance is very noisy and has a place, affecting other people's activities; some people say that occasional friction between the square dance team will affect harmony. In recent years, with the guidance of relevant government departments at all levels, there are fewer and fewer negative evaluations of square dance in the society. Zhang Xiushu felt that the standard development square dance was more like the "adhesive" of people and society.

The members of the square dance team come from all walks of life. Each team has different growth experiences, and the level level is different. However, when the dance team arrives, everyone is equal. In this regard, Zhang Xiushu felt quite deep. This year, most of their new partners in their team were retirees, and some of them were the main heads of the unit, and their positions were not low. "When I came to correct their movements at first, some team members were uncomfortable and felt that I was in charge. I still pointed out the problem and patiently helped them solve the confusion. Obviously I feel that the new members are integrated in, and they can get along well with everyone. "In Zhang Xiushu's eyes, the square dance team does not highlight a person, but to form a whole, and everyone works for a goal.

Dancing makes people who are unfamiliar with each other. After a period of time, they are familiar, and they finally become friends. Everyone is in care with who has something to do, which teammates are unwell. Sometimes the square dance team is like another home, which warms every player, which can affect the family behind the players. "Everyone is not in a community. It is not easy to get together during get off work, so it is necessary to be flexible and coordinated. The key must be attentive and take care of each other. Let's not say that we jump well. "Zhang Xiushu said.

What's more valuable is that each square dancer also learned from other members that things from all walks of life, practicing dance gaps, everyone is not short of parents, but through communication and understanding of different positions and views. Knowing, have more tolerance for others. When you encounter something, start to learn what you can do. In the words of Zhang Xiushu, "What is the atmosphere of the square dance team? That is not to pull the circle. Every day everyone pretend to be a dance team and read others.

Zhang Xiushu revealed that this year, on behalf of Chongqing to participate in the Star Award, the square dance "Forever with the Party" where she and the team members danced were composed of multiple melodies and paragraphs and needed smooth connection. The critical period of the arrangement is in July of the hot summer season, Chongqing's highest temperature is close to 40 degrees Celsius. In order to achieve the best results, Zhang Xiushu and the team members followed the guidance of the local cultural museums, practicing over and over again, and also explored a set of "total points" model. During the day, the players who have time to practice in the morning first, the teammates who are about to get off work together, and then perform the row. After a rehearsal, the players will practice each and continue to improve.

Speaking day after day, what kind of mood everyone is jumping together, only the square dancers can understand the most. For Zhang Xiushu and her dancer for more than 10 years, the dancing square dance is by no means simple to play, but to learn the way of expressing the mind in the way of art and give more people's spiritual power.

"You may not be so deep at one time or twice, but 10, 100 or even 1,000 times, you will particularly understand the connection between ourselves and the country that is developing rapidly. We are part of the country. Plaza dance can pass positive energy and do something for everyone, which is particularly proud. "Zhang Xiushu said a movement, which was a heart -shaped. Use your own way to make society and life better.
