From the niche to the public

As an exotic product of Western culture, street dance landed in China in the 1980s. For more than 30 years, the vicissitudes of Chinese society have changed, and hip -hop has also become a major change in the times.

"The most obvious changes are reflected in the increase in the number of people." Xia Rui talked that when it was introduced in China, hip -hop was only accepted by a few "art pioneers". They expressed themselves and communicated with each other in a very small circle. Institutions and dancers are in the state of scattered development.

He introduced that since 2000, the leaders of the hip -hop industry have actively promoted the establishment of hip -hop organizations. After years of hard work, in 2013, the Street Dance Committee of the China Dancers Association was established. Two years later, the Street Dance Committee initiated the establishment of the National Street Dance Alliance and promoted the establishment of alliances all over the country across the country. As of now, 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and Macau Special Administrative Regions have set up alliances with 3 million street dancers.

"Street dance groups and purposes have also changed with the number of people." Xia Rui said that compared with the initial "art pioneers", the current hip -hop learners come from college communities. They use hip -hop as a party and social means. Creating, running competitions, doing social practice, and even connecting business activities in the form of communities, hip -hop no longer simply used artistic means to express their own personality.

From outside to connotation

Chinese culture is heavy, and all ethnic dances are also unique. As the imported hip -hop, it is a typical western cultural representative. How to show Chinese culture with Western art is not easy.

"In the street dance circle, the initial attention was' kep real '. From the form to the content, it must maintain the most primitive and pure American style'. Chinese music may score 0 points, because this is not accepted in the 'circle'. "Xia Rui said that this also made those dancers who intend to add Chinese elements in the performance lack of self -confidence and believe that they did not jump enough to jump enough "Real".

In recent years, with the vigorous development of hip -hop in China, Chinese street dancers have begun to consciously integrate traditional cultural elements, and gradually promote the formation of Chinese hip -up style. In 2018, the work created by the Hip -hop "Yellow River" won the most authoritative award "Lotus Award" for Chinese dance. At the same time, such as "This! A number of popular variety shows such as hip -hop "Hip -hopping, such as France, Italy, Japan and other more than ten countries, such as France, Italy, Japan, and other street dancers talk on the same stage. Last year, Xia Rui ended the first round of "Our Life" as the director and director of "Our Life", which created the art presentation of hip -hop art on the stage theater -style art.

"Street dance art is just a form. We use it to express the cultural connotation of China." Xia Rui believes that traditional culture should not be one -sided and narrow. The core is to tell the story of Chinese, and the means should be continuously enriched. "What we have been doing is to give new content to hip -hop, let it pass on the spirit of the struggle of contemporary Chinese youth," he said.

From youth to the future

For many years, Xia Rui occasionally came to a few hip -hop movements, but he laughed that he was "older", but only stretched his bones as hip -hop enthusiasts, because the biggest feature of hip -hop is "young".

According to a third -party survey data "Sky Eye Inspection", as of 2020, there are nearly 120,000 institutions registered in the field of education and culture in the field of education and culture. Wanjia. National, more than 10 million people study hip -hop each year, more than 300,000 people engaged in hip -hop teaching, and more than 70%of domestic universities have hip -hop clubs.

Xia Rui introduced that the fields involved in the Chinese hip -hop industry include education and training, hip -hop event events, works editors, hip -hop variety entertainment, clothing and clothing, hip -hop culture and creativity. "The Chinese dance market has a large population foundation. Under the strong guidance of the cultural industry development plan on the cultivation of new cultural formats and other relevant national policies, the market has developed hugely." He said.

"The degree of popularity continues to increase, and the people's mentality is more open. Perhaps after 20 years, hip -hop is the square dance of the new era." Xia Rui said. (Finish)
