2023-07-30 02:50:32

18-year-old Lin Zijun (Arie) is a candidate for this year’s HKDSE. He has already made a plan for his life. The representative of the Hong Kong dance sports team plans to continue to “dance and teach, teach and live dance” and realize his dream step by step: “How can I dance every day?” Going to work with a smile on your face? Only if that occupation is something you love, I have chosen dancing.”

Arie, who started dancing at the age of 6, thought she was not tall. She was at a disadvantage in sports dance, but the young man loves to dance, has perseverance, and finds the right teacher. No wonder the dance has the shadow of the master Wu Senjun-has a personal style, strong appeal, and variable speed Strong and skilled. Of course, it was not easy for Arie to join the Hong Kong team. After suffering from a displaced sternum and a cruciate ligament injury, she waited 6 years to take the leading role in the group dance, but was replaced just before the performance, but the dancer digested it one by one: ” If you persist, you may not succeed, but if you don’t persist, you will definitely fail.”

The sense of achievement in teaching dance is not inferior to the contestants

He will be promoted to a college student, but he still has to continue teaching dance, practicing, and going to school at the same time. Why is he so busy? Arie smiled a bit reluctantly: “We are only a B-level elite project with less funding. Unless the family is rich, nine out of ten people have to teach while dancing. Of course, I hope to become famous in dancing, but the ultimate goal is to realize my dream of becoming a dance teacher.” Dream. Rather than dabble in all petals, I would rather specialize in one, teaching dance is a profession.”

Arie said that she was inspired by a middle school teacher at the beginning: “This teacher enjoys playing waves and also wants to make a living. How good it is to make a living while playing waves. I have devoted more than ten years to dancing, and I can do the same, so I need good grades to attract students.” Arie said that the satisfaction of students winning awards is also his motivation and pride: “Everyone agrees not only with the students, but also with me.” Doctors and lawyers are professions, and teaching dance is also the same. major. Look at Arie’s smiling face, who said there is only one path in life?

Former Hong Kong representatives are full of peaches and plums

In the past ten years, there are only 3 pairs that have achieved relatively good results, namely Chen Qingwei/Tian Liqi, Wu Senjun/Lin Huiyi and Liu Qisen/Liu Yunxuan brothers and sisters. Both the first two pairs have successful careers, and they have a lot of peaches and plums.

Due to the tall and mighty men of the Chen Tian Group, and their good dancing skills since childhood, Tian Liqi, who has known each other since childhood, will win the first gold medal (bullfight) in the history of Hong Kong in the 2013 Asian Games. Blackpool Dance Festival won the 14th place and was selected as the best Asian group. After the two became a couple, Li Qi retired due to injury 3 years ago, Chen Qingwei found a new dance partner and struggled until recently retired, but the school established by the two has already cultivated talents for the dance world.

During the same period, Wu Senjun and Lin Huiyi were also Asian Games and East Asian Games medalists. The couple will retire in 2021, but they are still committed to training talents. There are more than 100 pairs of students in the school, some of whom are already members of the Hong Kong team. The Liao brothers and sisters are active players. The two just won the 34th place in the World Championships, which is the highest ranking among Hong Kong contestants.

Tam Wing-sen returns to benefit Hong Kong

Sports dance has always been dominated by European and American dancers, and Asian dancers are rarely able to squeeze into the top competitions.

The 28-year-old Tan Yongsen spent most of his time in Slovenia in Europe to practice dancing. He has cooperated with Novigova for 11 years and was a ten-time world champion under the age of 21. He returned to Hong Kong earlier this year. It is a blessing for Hong Kong to guide local dancers.
