网络成为街舞传播的渠道

I'm Jon M. Chu, and I'm not a dancer. I'm not a choreographer, I'm actually a filmmaker, a storyteller. I directed a movie two years ago called "Step Up To The Streets." Anybody? Anybody? Yeah! During that movie I got to meet a ton of hip-hop dancers -- amazing, the best in the world -- and they brought me into a society, the sort of underground street culture that blew my mind. I mean this is literally human beings with super-human strength and abilities. They could fly in the air. They could bend their elbow all the way back. They could spin on their heads for 80 times in a row. I'd never seen anything like that.

我是Jon M.Chu。我不是一个舞蹈家，我也不是舞编，我其实是一个拍电影的，一个讲故事的。两年前我执导了一部电影，叫做“走向街头” 你们谁看过吗？看过吗？啊，好.在拍摄这部电影的过程中我认识了一大批街头嘻哈舞蹈家，世界上最神奇，最棒的。他们把我带到了另一个社会，有点像地下社会，街头文化让我大吃一惊。我意识到这是一群活生生的的人，他们有着超常的韧性和本领，他们可以在空中飞。他们可以把他们的手臂倒弯过来，他们能头顶在地上连续转80多圈，这是我以前从来没有见识过的。

When I was growing up, my heroes were people like Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson. I grew up in a musical family. (Laughter) And those guys, those were like ultimate heros. Being a shy little skinny Asian kid growing up in the Silicon Valley with low self esteem, those guys made me believe in something bigger. Those guys made me want to, like, "I'm going to do that moonwalk at that bar mitzvah tonight for that girl."

还没长大的时候，我的英雄是Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson。我成长在音乐之家 (笑声) ，而这些家伙，他们就是终级英雄。作为一个在硅谷长大的瘦小腼腆的亚洲孩子，有点自卑，这些家伙让我相信可以成就更大的事情。这些家伙让我觉得，好像“我今天 晚上要为女孩子们在成人仪式上跳月球漫步。”

And it seems like those dance heros have disappeared, sort of relegated to the background of pop stars and music videos. But after seeing what I've seen, the truth is, they have not disappeared at all. They are here, getting better and better every day. And dance has progressed. It is insane what dance is right now. Dance has never had a better friend than technology.

看上去这些舞蹈英雄好像已经消失了，他们常常被当成流行明星和音乐录像的背景。但是当我亲眼目睹后，发现实际上，他们一点儿也没有消失，他们就在这里，并且每一天都变得越来越好，舞蹈也有了新进展。现在的舞蹈真是令人不可思议，没有什么比科技更能推动舞蹈的发展。

Online videos and social networking ... dancers have created a whole global laboratory online for dance, where kids in Japan are taking moves from a YouTube video created in Detroit, building on it within days and releasing a new video, while teenagers in California are taking the Japanese video and remixing it with a Philly flair to create a whole new dance style in itself. And this is happening every day.

在线录像，社交网络，舞蹈家们为舞蹈创造了一个全球的在线实验室，日本的孩子们从YouTube的一段在底特律制作的录像上学会新的舞蹈动作，然后在那个基础上添加新的动作，然后发布一段新的录像。而加州的青少年则将日本的录像融合进了Philly特色，形成一种全新的舞蹈风格。这每天都在发生。

And from these bedrooms and living rooms and garages, with cheap webcams, lies the world's great dancers of tomorrow. Our Fred Astaires, our Gene Kellys our Michael Jacksons are right at our fingertips, and may not have that opportunity, except for us.So, we created the LXD, sort of a -- the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, a justice league of dancers that believe that dance can have a transformative effect on the world. A living breathing comic book series, but unlike Spiderman and Iron Man, these guys can actually do it. And we're going to show you some today. So, let me introduce to you, some of our heros right now. We got Madd Chadd, Lil' C, Kid David, and J Smooth. Please be excited, have fun, yell, scream. Ladies and gentlemen, The LXD.

从卧室到客厅到车库，用廉价的摄像机，培养了明天世界上最伟大的舞蹈家。我们的 Fred Astaires，我们的 Gene Kellys 我们的 Michael Jacksons就在我们的身边，如果没有我们，他们也许没有这个机会。所以我们建立了LXD 意思是：杰出舞蹈家组成的舞蹈团。它由一群相信舞蹈可以改变世界的舞蹈家组成，他们创造着活生生的动画系列。唯一跟蜘蛛侠和钢铁人不一样的地方是，这些家伙可以真的做到，今天我们就在这里为你们展示一下。现在，让我向你们介绍我们中的几位英雄，我们的 Madd Chadd Lil'C，Kid David，以及J Smooth 请大家兴奋起来，高兴起来，对，欢呼吧 先生们，女士们，LXD。

(Video): Madd Chadd: When people first see me I get a lot of different reactions actually. Sometimes you would think that maybe kids would enjoy it, but sometimes they get a little freaked out. And, I don't know, I kind of get a kick out of that a little bit.

(录像)：Madd Chadd：当人们第一次看见我，事实上大家的反应很不一样。有的时候你想大概孩子们会喜欢这东西，但是有的时候他们倒是被吓倒了。我不知道，我觉得这挺逗的。

J Smooth: When I'm in the zone, I'm dancing and freestyling it, I actually visually kind of picture lines, and moving them. I think of like, Transformers, like how panels open and then they fold, they fold in, and then you close that panel. And then another thing opens. You close that.

J Smooth：当我在场上的时候，我边跳边自由创造些动作。我事实上在想象一些图片，线条，然后移动它们，我想到变形金刚，像它们那样打开折叠模块，它们折叠起来，然后你关起那一块，然后另一块打开，然后你关起来。

Kid David: It's kind of like, honestly a lot of times I don't really know what's going on when I'm dancing. Because at that point it's just really like it's my body and the music. It's not really a conscious decision, "I'm going to do this next, I'm going to do this." It's kind of like this other level where you can't make choices anymore, and it's just your body reacting to certain sounds in the music. I got my name just because I was so young. I was young when I started. I was younger than a lot of the people I was dancing with. So, it was always like they called me Kid David, because I was the kid.

Kid David：老实说，很多时候，好象我真的不知道怎么回事。当我跳舞的时候，因为那一刻音乐就是我身体的一部分。这不是一个有意识的决定“我下面做这个，做那个”。我们在另一个层面，你不再能够做出选择，你的身体只是对音乐中的不同声音做出反应，我得到这个名字只是因为我很年轻。我很小就开始跳街舞了。我比很多跟我一起跳的人都要小，所以他们都叫我小孩大卫，因为我就是个小孩。

L'il C: I tell them to create a ball, and then you just use that ball of energy. And instead of throwing it out, people would think that's a krump move, that's a krump move. That's not a krump move. You're going to throw it out, you throw it out, and you hold it. And you let it go, and then right when you see the tail you grab it by the tail, then you bring it back in. And you just got this piece of energy and you just, you're manipulating it. You know, you create power, then you tame it.

L'il c：我让他们去做个球，然后你就用球带来的力量，不是把它扔出去，人们会觉得，那是个 Krump移动，那是Krump移动。这不是一个 Krump移动。你将要把球扔出去，你扔出去，你握住，然后你让它出去，而当你看见它的后面，你抓住它的后面，然后你把它带回来，你就把握了这股力量，你只是控制它，你知道你创造了一种力量，然后驯服它。
