China News Service, Beijing, September 16th (Xu Jing) On the evening of the 15th, at the closing ceremony of the 13th China Art Festival held in Xiong'an New District, Hebei, the dance works "Two Rooms and One Hall" and Square Dance were selected by Beijing. The work "Towards the Future Together" and Beijing No. 4 Middle School Jinfan Choir won three awards in the dance category, square dance category, and mass chorus team category of the 19th China Culture and Art Government Award.
The reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism that this is the best achievement that Beijing has achieved in the China Arts Festival Stars Award over the years.
The dance work "Two Bedrooms and One Hall" created and performed by Beijing Daxing District Cultural Activities Service Center is a dance with obvious dramatic style.
The four actors skillfully used dance vocabulary to form family portraits of different eras, recording the traces of the years of an ordinary family.
Most of the mass dances are group dances, but "Two Rooms and One Hall" only has 4 people performing.
Unable to show formation changes, unable to attract attention with aura, and put forward higher requirements for dance details.
"Many dance vocabulary comes from life, such as holding hands and stepping, etc., and extracting life movements can more resonate." Choreographer Zhang Yajing introduced that at the beginning of creation, everyone hoped to present another possibility of mass dance creation on the stage of the Star Awards.
Now that I have won the award, I have given everyone a lot of confidence, and I am more willing to try bravely in the creation.

The 19th Stellaris Awards have added two new tracks for chorus team and square dance.
Beijing No. 4 Middle School Jinfan Choir performed two pieces, "Pursuit" and "Autumn Mountains in Beijing".
The chorus conductor Wang Haijing introduced that "Autumn Mountains in Beijing" was created by Xu Mingjian, the former head of the Jinfan Choir of Beijing No.
This song has a lot of changes in intervals and transitions, and the sound reflects the rich layers and changes of Beijing's autumn colors.
The first time I heard it was exciting, and then I talked about it, which aroused emotional resonance in the precipitation.
Most of the children in the choir have no professional training and are taught "note by note".
Therefore, Xu Mingjian came to tutor many times, and let the children see the artistic inheritance among the alumni.
Familiar music and easy-to-learn movements... "Towards the Future Together", which won the square dance award, is full of enthusiasm for the Winter Olympics. It once ignited the enthusiasm of millions of citizens in Beijing for learning to dance on the eve of the Winter Olympics, and also triggered more than 3,300 people across the country. One cultural center responded, 60.67 million people learned to dance, and its teaching videos online hit 155 million times.
Until now, the performance of this dance can still be seen in the daily activities of many mass literary and art teams.
