Nearly all the fans of street dance in WHU expect an annual date with Shining Hip-hop Association. This year, on April 24th , Meiyuan schoolyard presented them with a dancing night of the 9th “Shining” Street Dance Party in Central China, together with many other fans from different universities.

The Shining Hip-hop Association

    Shining Hip-hop Association, established in 2002, is the sole street dance association at campus-level in WHU. As a brand event of Shining, this annual Party has attracted a growing number of universities to join in. It has  now become a platform for street dancers in Wuhan to communicate and compare notes. This time, 8 universities Wuhan University Of Science And Technology, China University Of Geosciences in Wuhan, Central China Normal University, Huazhong University Of Science And Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University, South-Central University For Nationalities, Zhongnan University Of Economics And Law and Hubei University -- showed their performancesAlthough some of the participating universities also held similar dancing parties, the leader of the teamfrom China University of Geosciences in Wuhan thinks it’s still hard to catch up with WHU’s.

 

The working members are controlling the light and music. 

    Such a grand event needs to be planned with painstaking attention to detail such as the music, the loudspeakers, and the lighting. No matter how simple the tasks are, there are always at least two working members on duty at each station. Just as one working member from the Economics and Management School says, “We have prepared it for nearly two months so we can’t ruin it by making any tiny mistakes on the spot.”

The opening show of Shining Party

 When the music was on, the washing lights poured on five youthful dancers who wore the unified clothes but struck the respective poses. This  fired the enthusiasm of the audience.

 Along with the lively rhythm, the spotlight seemed to be too slow to follow the agile dancers. Every brilliant twist, sway or flying leap through light beams can arouse an loud cheer and a big wave of applause. The vitality of adolescence filled the night air. A middle-aged man, holding a child in his hands, stood out among groups of students. He said the energetic dancers rekindled the ardor of youth inside him which reminded him of the pastwhen he learned the Breaking.

Hip-hop

 The Party is a unprecedented visual feast for students. The diverse performances range from Hip-hop to Jazz, Popping, Breaking and LockingIn addition, for the first time in Wuhan, the special guests from 5 professional dancing crews performed in the same dancing event, according to Wen Lijuan, the director of Shining.
