How exciting could a primary school dance competition be?
Needless to say, even if Huijia Primary School's students were of high quality and they were interested in learning, there was still a limit to how exciting it could be. It definitely couldn't be compared to the Spring Festival Gala's Peak Night of China's Voice.
However, Yang Yi and Murphy did not regret missing out on the Peak Night. They stood in front of the crowd on the left side of the first floor, watching the performance on stage with great interest.
There was no other choice. This was a dance competition for the lower grades and there were children from three grades participating. Apart from the teachers and students who came to watch, there were also a lot of relatives and friends of the participating children. Huijia Primary School's small auditorium was considered a very big performance hall. The auditorium was divided into two levels, but there were still too many people in the audience!
Not to mention Yang Yi who came later, even Yang Huan and Ding Xiang did not manage to get a seat. They also stood at the back of the second floor to watch. Yang Yi and Murphy were civilized people. They would not use their celebrity status to make a scene and insist on getting a seat.
Therefore, they stood in the aisle on both sides like the other parents. At this time, Yang Yi and Murphy were just like a normal pair of parents. They stood in the middle of the crowd and no one recognized that Murphy was the newly crowned Heavenly Queen who was famous all over China!
"Look at him. You can't even take your eyes off him." Murphy, who was leaning on Yang Yi's broad chest, suddenly poked Yang Yi's arm gently. She smiled and pointed at Tong Tong, who was in Yang Yi's arms, and said to Yang Yi.
Because they had to stand in the crowd and watch, Yang Yi was afraid that Murphy would be tired, so he carried Tong Tong over early on.
At this time, when Yang Yi heard Murphy's voice, he looked down at Tong Tong and realized that the little rascal was indeed staring at the stage as Murphy had said.
He didn't know if it was because of the bright lights on stage or because the young ladies dancing on stage were more attractive, but the little rascal was very engrossed in watching!
Actually, the children performing on the stage didn't dance very well! She paled in comparison to Xi Xi.
Of course, Yang Yi couldn't say these words in this crowded environment. He just smiled at Murphy and continued to look at the next contestant.
Although in the eyes of Yang Yi and Murphy, these children's dance was very flawed, it was not bad. After all, they were all small, and their every move was adorable!
Even if there was a mistake, the parents would just laugh softly and offer encouraging applause, even if it was not their own child.
After some time, it was finally Xi Xi's turn.
"Next, let's invite the seventeenth contestant, Yang Xi from the first grade, class three. Her instructor, Xia Suqing, will be bringing us a creative dance — the spirit of the peacock." The little host girl should be a senior. She looked much taller and appeared to be calm and steady. She announced in a clear voice.
Yang Yi immediately became spirited.
Murphy was also a little excited. She grabbed Yang Yi's right arm and called out softly, "It's coming, it's coming!"
This competition was really exciting. Murphy was very calm when she participated in all kinds of ranking shows, but now she couldn't calm down.
Xi Xi had already walked up the stage when the host announced.
Under the bright stage lights, Xi Xi's little face was pale. Of course, this was only the effect of the lighting. Fortunately, the blue eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes could mitigate the impact of this color. At least, it made Xi Xi's delicate little face look more three-dimensional.
When Xi Xi went up on stage, the audience below the stage was talking. Yang Yi could hear the curious discussions of the parents around him.
Of course, others were not talking about how beautiful Xi Xi was. On the stage, the lights shone on the children and made them look similar.
"Wow, is this a first grade child? She's so tall? "Someone couldn't help but click his tongue.
"If the host didn't say it, I would have thought that she was a third grade student! A first grade child is actually so tall! "This was a comparison between Xi Xi and her peers.
"Yeah! Children nowadays can keep up with the nutritional conditions, and they look much better than children of our era … "Some people also compared Xixi to their childhood memories.
Yang Yi blended into the crowd and the corners of his mouth curled up proudly. However, after thinking about it, he still chose to keep a low profile.
At this moment, the melody of the music started. Xi Xi's performance had already begun!
The little girl was actually very nervous. Just like when she and her classmates were performing in a play, the little girl's little face was tense and she didn't dare to look at the situation below the stage.
However, she knew that her parents were watching from below the stage. Her friends were also supporting her. She didn't need to look to know that a wave of courage had already gathered.
The music at the beginning was very melodious. In the middle, there was a faint sound of gourd silk floating in the air. Xi Xi also followed the accompaniment and danced the Peacock Dance.
The Peacock Dance that Xi Xi learned was a relatively simple beginner movement. However, with the beautiful peacock feather dress as a foil, the little girl danced along with the music. She looked very much like a mischievous little peacock jumping around in the bamboo forest.
This description wasn't wrong. Xi Xi couldn't dance with the elegance and grace of a peacock like a dancer. However, with her small body twisting and turning, she danced with a lively rhythm.
Of course, how good Xi Xi's performance was depended on how it was compared!
If she were to be compared to the dancers who specialized in the Peacock Dance, Xi Xi was still far behind.
However, compared to the children in front of her, Xi Xi's performance was breathtaking!
Yang Yi could hear the discussions of the surrounding audience. "This child danced very well!"
"She actually danced the Peacock Dance. Don't tell me she specialized in this?"
"That's amazing! My favorite folk dance is the Peacock Dance! "
However, Yang Yi also heard Murphy muttering softly, "Steady, steady. The next twist is the main point!"
Murphy looked even more nervous than Xi Xi on the stage.
The folk dance's rhythm quietly sped up. It integrated with the beat of the waist drum and slowly picked up speed. At a certain rhythm point, it smoothly switched to the Seve dance song.
The audience didn't notice it until the familiar electronic sound rang out. Then, they suddenly trembled with excitement.
"Wow!"
Amidst the praises and exclamations, the little girl in the peacock feather dress gently lifted the hem of her dress, revealing a small section of her calves and shoes. Then, she began to dance briskly to the rhythm.
At the beginning, she only danced like this. Later on, Xi Xi lowered the hem of her dress with one hand and gently lifted it with the other. As she danced, she used her free hand to make the signature movement of the Peacock Dance.
Although dancing Seve in a dress didn't reflect the beauty of her long legs, Xi Xi had to appear lively!
At this moment, the little girl on the stage was like a completely lively little peacock. It was as if something had made her happy all of a sudden. She jumped briskly in the bamboo forest, spreading a pleasant positive energy!
It was too wonderful!
Yang Yi couldn't help but want to praise his daughter's dancing. He realized that Xi Xi was really a talent who could improvise. The little girl's face was slightly tense and didn't reveal a smile. However, her performance didn't show any signs of nervousness. In fact, Yang Yi felt that Xi Xi was outperforming herself. Her performance was even better than when she was training!
It was indeed too wonderful!
The audience below the stage didn't expect to see such a wonderful performance in a dance competition for juniors. They didn't expect to see such a difficult dance like Seve!
They exclaimed. Even many of the seated audience couldn't help but stand up.
