(Applause)

(音樂)

I'm Jon M. Chu. And I'm not a dancer,

(掌聲)

I'm not a choreographer -- I'm actually a filmmaker, a storyteller.

我叫朱浩偉，我不是舞者

I directed a movie two years ago

我也不是舞編， 我其實是一個拍電影的、講故事的

called "Step Up 2: The Streets."

兩年前我執導了一部電影

Anybody? Anybody? Yeah!

舞力全開

During that movie I got to meet a ton of hip-hop dancers --

你們誰看過嗎？很好！

amazing, the best in the world --

拍電影的過程中，我認識了一大批嘻哈舞者

and they brought me into a society, the sort of underground

世界上最神奇，最棒的

street culture that blew my mind.

他們把我帶到了另一個社會， 有點像地下社會

I mean, this is literally human beings

街舞文化讓我大吃一驚

with super-human strength and abilities.

我意識到這是一群活生生的的人

They could fly in the air. They could bend their elbow all the way back.

他們有著超常的韌性和能耐

They could spin on their heads for 80 times in a row.

他們可以在空中飛，可以把他們的手臂倒彎過來

I'd never seen anything like that.

他們能頭頂著地上轉80多次

When I was growing up, my heroes were people like

是我以前從來沒有見識過的

Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson.

我長大的時候，我的偶像是

I grew up in a musical family.

Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson.

(Laughter)

我長在音樂之家

And those guys, those were like, ultimate heroes.

(笑聲)

Being a shy, little, skinny Asian kid growing up in the Silicon Valley

而這些傢伙，他們就是終級英雄

with low self-esteem, those guys made me believe in something bigger.

作爲一個在硅谷長大的瘦小的亞洲孩子

Those guys made me want to, like, "I'm going to do that

有點自卑，這些傢伙讓我相信，我們也可以成就大事

moonwalk at that bar mitzvah tonight for that girl."

這些傢伙讓我想要

(Applause)

在成人儀式上爲女孩子們跳月球漫步

And it seems like those dance heroes have disappeared,

(掌聲)

sort of relegated to the background of pop stars and music videos.

這些舞蹈英雄好像會消失一樣

But after seeing what I've seen,

他們常常被當成明星、MV的背景

the truth is, they have not disappeared at all.

但是當我親眼目睹後

They're here, getting better and better every day.

覺得他們一點也沒有消失

And dance has progressed.

他們在這裡， 變得越來越好

It is insane what dance is right now.

舞蹈也有了新進展

Dance has never had a better friend than technology.

今天的舞蹈真是令人不可思議的

Online videos and social networking ...

舞蹈沒有比科技更好的朋友了

dancers have created a whole global laboratory online

線上影片，社交網路

for dance, where kids in Japan are taking moves

舞者們創造了一個全球舞蹈的線上研究室

from a YouTube video created in Detroit,

日本的孩子們從YouTube上

building on it within days and releasing a new video,

一段在底特律影片上學會新的舞蹈動作

while teenagers in California are taking the Japanese video and remixing it

然後在那基礎上添加新動作，再發佈一段新影片

with a Philly flair to create a whole new dance style in itself.

而加州的青少年則將日本的影片融合Philly特色

And this is happening every day.

形成一種全新的舞蹈風格

And from these bedrooms and living rooms and garages,

這每天都在發生

with cheap webcams,

從臥室到客廳到車庫

lies the world's great dancers of tomorrow.

用便宜的視訊

Our Fred Astaires, our Gene Kellys

培養了明日世界偉大的舞者

our Michael Jacksons are right at our fingertips,

我們的Fred Astaires, 我們的 Gene Kellys

and may not have that opportunity, except for us.

我們的Michael Jacksons就在我們的指尖

So, we created the LXD,

除了我們之外，他們也許沒有這個機會

sort of a -- the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers,

所以我們建立了The LXD

a justice league of dancers that believe

意思是：卓越舞團

that dance can have a transformative effect on the world.

由一群相信舞蹈可以改變世界

A living, breathing comic book series,

的優秀舞者組成

but unlike Spiderman and Iron Man,

他們創造著活生生的動畫系列

these guys can actually do it.

唯一跟蜘蛛人、鋼鐵人不同的是

And we're going to show you some today. So, let me introduce to you,

這些傢伙可以真的辦到

some of our heroes right now.

我們今天帶來了一些表演，讓我向你們介紹

We got Madd Chadd,

我們中的幾位英雄

Lil' C, Kid David and J Smooth.

向各位介紹Madd Chadd

Please be excited, have fun, yell, scream.

Lil' C, Kid David, 以及 J Smooth

Ladies and gentlemen: The LXD.

大家嗨起來、大叫吧

(Applause)

各位先生女士，The LXD

(Video): Madd Chadd: When people first see me,

(掌聲)

I get a lot of different reactions actually.

Madd Chadd: 當人們第一次看見我

Sometimes you would think that maybe kids would enjoy it,

每個人的反應都很不一樣

but sometimes they get a little freaked out.

有時候你想，孩子們會喜歡這東西

And, I don't know, I kind of get a kick out of that a little bit.

但有時候他們倒是嚇倒了

(Music)

我不知道， 我覺得挺逗的

(Applause)

(音樂)

J Smooth: When I'm in the zone -- I'm dancing and free styling it --

當我跳舞，我想讓大家質疑我的動作是否真實－Madd Chadd

I actually visually kind of picture

J Smooth: 當我表演的時候， 我邊跳邊自由創作

lines, and moving them.

我事實上在想象一些圖片

I think of like, Transformers,

線條， 然後移動它們

like how panels open and then they fold,

我想到變形金剛

they fold in, and then you close that panel.

像它們那樣打開折疊模塊

And then another thing opens,

它們折疊起來， 然後你關起那一塊

you close that.

然後另一塊打開

(Music)

然後你關起來

(Applause)

(音樂)

Kid David: It's kind of like, honestly a lot of times

重點是細節，我的每一動作都有目的－J Smooth

I don't really know what's going on

Kid David: 老實說，當我跳舞的時候

when I'm dancing.

很多時候，我真的不知道

Because at that point it's just really like, it's my body and the music.

到底發生什麼事

It's not really a conscious decision,

因爲那一刻，音樂和我成為一體

"I'm going to do this next, I'm going to do this."

不是種有意識的決定

It's kind of like this other level

“我接下來做這個、然後做那個”

where you can't make choices anymore,

很像在另一個層面

and it's just your body reacting to certain sounds in the music.

你不再做選擇

I got my name just because I was so young.

你的身體對著不同聲音和音樂做出反應

I was young when I started. I was younger than a lot of the people I was dancing with.

我有這綽號，是因爲我很小的時候

So, it was always like, they called me Kid David, because I was the kid.

就開始學舞了，年紀比我一起跳舞的夥伴小很多

(Music)

所以他們都叫我小孩大衛，因爲我就是個小孩

(Applause)

(音樂)

L'il C: I tell them to create a ball,

重點不是結果，而是過程－Kid David

and then you just use that ball of energy.

Lil C: 我告訴他們，做個球

And instead of throwing it out, people would think

然後你就用球帶來的力量

that's a krump move, that's a krump move.

你把它扔出去， 人們會覺得

That's not a krump move. You're going to throw it out,

那是個Krump舞步，

you throw it out, and you hold it.

這不是一個krump舞步， 你要把球扔出去

And you let it go, and then right when you see the tail,

扔出去之後握住

you grab it by the tail, then you bring it back in.

然後你讓它出去， 而當你看見它的尾巴

And you just got this piece of energy

你抓住它的尾巴，然後把它拉回來

and you just, you're manipulating it.

你就把握了這股力量

You know, you create power, then you tame it.

然後控制著它

(Music)

創造了一股力量，然後馴服它

(Applause)

(音樂)

(Music)

我想展現的是重量、能量、空間、與時間的平衡－Lil C

(Applause)

(音樂)
