The first professional Latin dancer in Yunnan Province
National provincial and cross-strait international standard dance open professional Latin dance champion
Member of Yunnan Dancers Association
"Elegant lighting, blurred figure, with Latin dance, sexy and passion slowly rising, my thoughts have nowhere to escape. Whether it is a dancer or an audience, happiness is the only diffuse air. " -Wu Qiwei
Mistaken into the dance road. "
When I was a child, Wu Qiwei was thin and a little ignorant and curious about dancing. Because his family has never been engaged in literature and art for generations, Latin dance is still a distant concept for him. However, the world always plays a similar joke when people are caught off guard. The neighbor's children invited Wu Qiwei to take the dance professional exam in the art school. The child lost the election, but Wu Qiwei was attracted by the teacher. 1 1 year-old Wu Qiwei, with her persistence and understanding of dance, began to emerge in Kunming Literature and Art School.
At that time, I studied folk dance, and the courses in art schools were colorful to outsiders, but Wu Qiwei felt that the endless art classes were so monotonous and one-sided, and even envied the courses of mathematics, physics, sound and beauty in regular schools, which is one of the reasons why Wu Qiwei is now re-entering the university to improve the basic disciplines.
After graduating from art school, Wu Qiwei joined the Second Artillery Art Troupe and became a formal dancer. Military career tempered his will, and also gave Wu Qiwei a deeper understanding of dance. Wu Qiwei made an important choice: give up national dance and specialize in Latin dance.
Transformation is a painful transformation.
Wu Qiwei said: "With the increasing popularity of international Latin dance, Latin dance bars, Latin dance performances or musicians who play Latin music themselves have emerged. Like the changes in the city, things are gradually accumulated, and all lifestyles are closely related to urban life. People should also choose their own lives. This is also the fundamental reason why I chose Latin dance. "
The transformation from folk dance to Latin dance is not an easy process, and the connotation of dance is there, but there are great differences in cultural concepts and performance skills between the two styles and schools of dance. "Many players can't stand the pain and give up in the process of transformation," Wu Qiwei said with a smile. "I survived and found the feeling. I found that I was born for Latin dance. As soon as I came on stage, when the unrestrained and strong rhythm music sounded, I couldn't help but want to release myself. Kunming, a fashionable city, contains all the popular elements and dancers who exist for Latin. Of course, I will do it in my own way.
Latin dancing pays too much.
On the way to the Latin Temple, Wu Qiwei said that at first, he thought about it himself. In this process, Mr. Ma Jun from Guangdong and Mr. Yan Ling from Beijing gave him great help. The level of teachers in Taiwan Province Province is very high, but the teaching cost is also staggering. Their teaching methods are all one to one. Sometimes, in order to hire a good teacher, months' salary is gone. In order to succeed in Latin dance, we must constantly participate in the competition. A game, from professional training before the game to clothing preparation during the game, requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. "But I don't regret it. I never questioned my choice. I recognized Latin. This process was tortuous, but the result did not disappoint me. "
Wu Qiwei said that the most painful thing is not the expenditure of money, but being eliminated in the first round. There are many experts in this field in China. Wu Qiwei's professional group B faces professional colleges and universities all over the country. Dance academies in Shanghai and Beijing have to fight dozens of times to beat them because of the training system and economic security. Speaking of international competitions, the biggest "enemy" is foreign players. Those foreigners, twisting their hips like perpetual motion machines, never seem to get tired, but they have learned a lot and can keep abreast of the trend of Latin dance in the world.
"I want to break through myself"
In April, 2000, Wu Qiwei participated in the Second National Games and won the fourth place in Latin Dance Group A.. Since then, she has become one of the professional Latin dancers and the first Latin dancer in Yunnan Province to enter her career. In 2002, Wu Qiwei won the team dance championship in the Southwest Sports Dance Open, and in 2004, Wu Qiwei won the first place in professional Latin dance in the national provincial and cross-strait international standard dance open, which was the pinnacle of the 27-year-old Wu Qiwei's Latin dance career. He said that it was a start compared with world-class Latin dancers. "The higher you stand, the smaller you feel."
Latin dance is a process of continuous learning. World trends change every day, including music and clothing. Latin itself contains all fashionable and dynamic elements, and new dance methods and techniques emerge one after another. Wu Qiwei said, "There is no end to learning and art. I just want to break through myself and have new experiences and progress every day."
On June 26th, 2004, Wu Qiwei held the first theme party of professional Latin dancers in Yunnan Province. From the planning and packaging of the party to the selection of all Latin costumes, Wu Qiwei arranged everything, and even the decorative buttons on the clothes were nailed one by one. He performed five Latin dances he mastered, and the party was a complete success. Young Wu Qiwei has more dreams, including career, including love. He interprets his blueprint with Latin sexiness and passion. Wu Qiwei still has no girlfriend, because she has devoted all her time to Latin dance. The reporter tried to extract his first love story from him. Wu Qiwei said with a smile, "When I was 1 1 years old, I liked a girl at work and didn't hold hands after graduation. Is this my first love story? " Speaking of partners, Wu Qiwei said that everyone is a good friend. As for the ideal girlfriend image, "like-minded, especially like Latin dance, support all my efforts in Latin dance." Everything else is second. "
"Life signs born in Dimei"
Wu Qiwei's parents have been worried from the beginning of Latin dance to her career. At first, I thought Wu Qiwei was joking, but I didn't expect that he really achieved a height that local Yunnan players couldn't reach. His parents and sisters changed from worrying to supporting him wholeheartedly. But Wu Qiwei never asked his family for money, including the living expenses for going to college, performances and competitions.
Wu Qiwei pursues the first in life and work, so he chose Aurit Di Mei Health Fitness Salon, the best fitness club in Kunming, as the Latin dance coach. It is a challenge for him to attend classes two days a week. Wu Qiwei strives for perfection in every detail and is conscientious to his students. Many students are new to Latin. What Wu Qiwei wants is to cultivate their continuous interest first, and never give up because of the difficulty of Latin dance movements. Wu Qiwei said: "An excellent Latin dancer not only knows the basic dance steps, but also contains soul, sexiness and balance in his body. With these three elements, dance can be more vital, and this vitality can infect every audience. " Wu Qiwei summed up a set of effective Latin dance courses. In addition, Di Mei students have a first-class fitness environment. The best club and the best coach are the first choice for Kunming fashionable men and women to dance Latin dance in Di Mei.
