On the evening of December 2nd, a special performance “Our Stories” was put on stage by the college dance troupe which attracted more than 1,000 staff and students alike to enjoy the superb dancing feast.
Opened with a grand Northeast Yangko dance The Glee which was bold with a fast rhythmic beat, the on-site atmosphere was heated instantaneously. Then, a pas de deux of Mongolian dance The Swan Geese stretched the vast Mongolian grassland with the swan geese overhead before the audience in highly expressive dance. The dynamic hip-hop Pump It and the lyrical national dance Chantey of Dai nationality brought the audience an entirely different sensual experience. The male collective dance Man shows the fortitude and majestic masculinity. The modern dance Days is like a bud blooming itself with ease. The modern military dance The Heroic Bearing depicted a unique image of soldiers by representing the intense campaign training with its surroundings and ambience. The modern dance Graduation by the seniors permeated with a slight melancholy whose last line of “Farewell, College Life; Farewell, My Youth” struck a chord with many would-be graduates. The classical dance Pretty Leading Actress brought about a new visual experience combing the elements of tradition Peking Opera and modern dance as dancers wore gorgeous headdress with lively dance. Finally, the modern dance Our Stories rendered a surprise and finale to the performance which warmed the harsh winter night with its passion and audience’s applause.
The performance fully demonstrated the strength and team spirit of our college dance troupe and won plaudits from the audience, showing the lively college students and the achievements of artistic education at Wanli.
