舞出我人生
文/颜克
最喜欢碧瑶的清晨,小麻雀早早的在窗前把我叫醒,阳光已透过窗帘铺在地板上。喜欢清晨是因为从6点到8点,公园里的广场舞一直在跳,很是劲爆,从白发老人到2岁孩童,美女帅哥很抢镜,大妈级的也养眼,无论身材好坏,音乐的节奏和身体的律动真是和中国的广场舞不一样呢。他们可以扭动身体的每个部位每个关节,尤其是腰,臀,灵活,充满力量,不得不佩服菲人的乐感和舞蹈细胞。音乐无处不在,舞蹈无处不在。每个人都沉浸在自己舞蹈的世界里,从不在乎有多少旁人驻足欣赏拍照录像。朋友说,晨练几乎是这里的全民运动,即使没有跳舞的,也常常在跑步健身或是散步。这里几乎没有麻将和扑克牌,我想不只是皮肤黝黑的缘故,菲国的人看起来都很健美呢。在看了许多次后,沉寂多年的舞蹈细胞在这样的环境下终于按捺不住了,无论刮风下雨,或者是特殊的日子,清晨去公园跳舞是早起的最大动力,舞蹈和画画便成了生活中最快乐的事。这一年这样过下去,该是多么幸福的事。 绘画不分国界,音乐更是世界语言,舞蹈也把舞者以这样或那样的方式聚集在一起。菲国的广场舞不仅碧瑶有,这个公园有,大致菲国人民处处都在舞,舞蹈细胞也是天生的。
上午路过碧瑶国立高中,周末一群孩子敲着锣鼓自成一列跳着跑着,还有树下其他孩子用民族乐器和着唱着,这样的欢乐自然原始,有点像土著民族的舞蹈,我身体的细胞都忍不住和着节奏跳动起来。在我的幼儿园,每每在教室里打开音乐,这群孩子就坐不住了,很自然地起身跳舞,他们会随音乐的节奏舞动身体,除非关掉音乐,他们才会安静地坐下。自然,教他们做操和唱歌,即使是中国的,他们也学得很快。更多的时候,无论是写字还是画画,孩子们都会哼起英文歌或者菲语歌,我虽然听不懂,但也很享受他们这样的童谣。
和朋友去过一个餐厅,有点像城堡的感觉,门口一幅油画上有一个大大的彩虹,在餐厅暖昧的灯光下让人忍不住浮想联翩。朋友说,这个餐厅有个特殊的地方,我问她笑而不语,说到时候你就知道了。好吧,那就先享受美味喽。先是镁光灯和旋转彩灯亮起,接着悠扬低沉的音乐一转,舞曲响起,就餐的人就两两起身,转入餐厅中央,和着音乐舞起来,正在就餐的人继续吃着,只是多了视觉的盛宴。我正惊讶着,朋友的舞伴来邀请她进入舞池,仿佛整个餐厅因有了舞者,便开始了奇幻之旅。各种不同的芳香,从舞娘的裙摆,发梢,撩过我的鼻翼,为美餐增加了新的佐料。正沉浸在舞曲的旋律里,一位风度翩翩的男士,穿着衬衣打着领结,以90度的鞠躬来邀请我跳舞,我想说不会,朋友过来说跳吧,他会教你。好吧,我也不忍拒绝这样的邀约。他小心的慢慢的带领我,进入舞蹈的世界,没有国界,不需言语。好吧,放松了,身体就跟着音乐走了。一曲又一曲,旋转在舞池,仿佛全世界就剩下我,在自由地舞着。
后半场,有主持出来,朋友翻译给我,大概是我们很幸运,今天有会员的表演,专业水平。机会真好,不可错过!
第一曲是穿牛仔的一对年轻人,跳的是现代舞,诉说着一个美丽的故事。第二曲是一对夫妻,跳的拉丁。不知什么时候,他们已经换好了专业的服装,瞬间又把我们带到了拉丁舞场。第三对是个较胖的舞娘,一曲独舞,如果单看她本人,我是绝对想不到能舞出这样的精彩,舞池内外,掌声不断,喝彩声不断,欢笑声不断,真希望时间就这样停止,在这舞蹈的世界里。这让我想起第一次在这里最大的SM超市看见的一个街舞队表演,据说他们是在国际比赛中获得一等奖的。一个团队有黑人有白人,七个男生三个女生,瘦小的女生从身体里爆发出的力量,让人不可思议。空翻,单手支撑,头着地旋转,很多动作超有难度,我不懂专业术语,只觉得和着音乐,整个舞台都在舞动,第一次现场观看这样的世界级街舞表演,比电视上看到的棒多了。舞,总能感染人的。表演结束后他们还有现场教舞,很多小青年走上舞台与他们共舞。作为初到的外国人,又是妈咪级的,我终究没敢走上舞台。如果是现在,我想一定不要错过这样的机会。
清晨的广场舞点燃了我的激情,在公园里至少有五个以上的团队,跳舞的音乐和风格各不相同,领舞者拎个音箱,U盘一插,在宽阔的马路上,就开启了舞蹈之旅,自愿加入,每天结束的时候你也可以随意的给20比索或者直接走人。认不认识,舞者都很热情的和你打招呼。
跳了一圈之后,我选择了一对年轻男女的团队,因为喜欢他们舞蹈的风格,喜欢他们的音乐,喜欢他们快乐的笑容,也喜欢他们每天不同色彩的团队服装。一起跳舞,真是享受,融入其中,身体的释放的感觉无以言表,每个细胞都像是获得了新生。跳了一个月,我是基本跟上了节奏,但动作很是不到位,还有甩腰顶髋,恐怕是一时无法达到的,但我有信心把这里的舞带回去,教给家乡的舞者。一起舞吧,跳吧,终其一生!
碧瑶的天气四季如春,晚上还要盖被子,只有早晨的舞,可以出一身汗。出汗,会产生快乐的细胞,排除身体毒素,健康的身体,健美的体魄,舞蹈的灵魂,真好。
一个领舞者跳舞的场景,我至今记忆犹新。菲国7点钟的太阳已经很烈了,紫外线也很强。一次我去得晚了,路过公园的时候,看见一个舞队,肌肉健美的男士,穿了一个背心,在烈日下,汗顺着他隆起的肌肉流淌,又瞬间蒸发,热气环绕着他,像超人一样,我被这一幕感动了。365天,准时准点的领舞,坚持着,是一种什么样的信仰? 我们对的领舞,是一对年轻的男女,动作干净利落到位,不同风格的音乐,有探戈,恰恰,伦巴,或是中国风的武术音乐,也有芭蕾的节奏,还有的像是新疆舞的感觉,或者是黑人音乐和乡村民谣,有的我叫不出名字,各种节奏柔和在一起,展现不同的韵味。用身体去演绎音乐的魅力,激情四射,一个小时的舞,总觉得时间过的太快。菲国的女子多长发,且都披肩,黑亮的头发和着音乐甩起来,是另一种美。不需要言语,快乐的节奏就是最好的交流。
有一个黑人妈妈,她的女儿在我的班级,每次跳舞遇见,她都会热情地与我拥抱,并用生涩的中文向我问好。也有初见的舞伴,微笑着相互问候。在异国,这就像是一个大家庭,身心沉浸在音乐和舞蹈的世界里慢慢安详。一次一个看上去有60多岁的婆婆跳累了,就坐路边休息,结束的时候和我打招呼,一直为我竖大拇指,这个手势,是菲人最高的嘉奖。我也开心的回敬给他最高的手势,为她真心的竖起大拇指。
公园里的音乐整天都在播放,被音乐环抱着,和风吹拂,杨柳依依,鲜花怒放,湛蓝的天空,可以看到云也和着音乐,变换不同的身姿。畅游蓝天,湖面上从早到晚都有游人悠闲地划着各式小船,陌生的脸庞都是笑意,碧瑶的人,可真是生活在仙境呢。舞后绕公园小湖散步一周,拉拉韧带,美好的一天从跳舞开始,快乐,将会持续到第二天晨曦!

Step up
I love the morning of Baguio, the little sparrow woke me up before my window in the early morning, the sun spread its shining on the floor through the curtain, I love morning for the morning dancing exercises are always continuing and very energetic from 6:00—8:00 a.m. the members of the morning exercises are old men and women with white hair to the children who are at the age of two, beauty can catch your eyes, so did the aunt. No matter what the body is, the rhythm of the music and the move of the body is really different from China. They twist each part of their bodies, especially the waist, the hips, flexible and full of energy, I have to admire the sense of music and dancing cells of the Philippines. Music is everywhere, dance is everywhere too. Everybody steeped in the dancing world of their own, they never notice how many people stop to watch and take photos and record video for them. A friend told me that morning exercise is almost for everybody. If there is no dancer, he/she will be jogging and running. There are no Mahjiang and cards here, I thought all the Filipinos look healthy not for the reason that their skins are tan. After watching so many times, I cannot control my dancing cells under such circumstances, no matter there is wind or rain, or special date, the most motive power to make me get up is the morning dance in the park, dance and drawing became the happiest things in my life. I will live like this year. How happy I will be. Drawing has no boundary, the music is the language of the world, dance can let the dances get together. The square dance in Philippines is not only in Baguio city, in this park, but also in everywhere, the dance cells are born by nature.
I passed by the national high school of Baguio in the morning, a group of children are playing drum in a line jumping and running, another children are singing with the minority music instruments under the tree, such joy is natural and original, it looks like the local dance somewhat, I cannot control my body cells and dance with the rhythm. When I turn on the music in the classroom in my kindergarten, this group of children cannot sit, they must stand up dancing, they twist their bodies with the rhythm. They won’t sit down quietly until turning off the music. Naturally, I teach them to do exercise and sing, they can learn fast even if they are China’s. More times, the children will hum the English or Philippines’ songs when they are writing or drawing, Although I can’t understand, I also enjoy such children’s folk rhymes.
I paid a visit to a restaurant with a friend, which looks like a castle. There is a big rainbow in an oil painting at the door. In the warm light of the restaurant, I can’t help thinking a lot. The friend said, there is a special place in this restaurant, I asked her, but she just smiles and says nothing, you would know at the certain time.
Okay, then you enjoy yourself.. First spotlight and rotating lights lit, and melodious low music turned on, the dance song started, the dinners got up and danced into central restaurant, and they dance with the music, the dinners continue to eat, they only have more of a visual feast. I was surprised, friend partner came to invite her to the dance floor, as if the whole restaurant become fantasy trip because of the dancers. Different from the dancer's skirt, fragrance and hair, brushed my nose, adding a new sauce for dinner. I am immersed in the rhythm of the dance, a handsome man, wearing a shirt and tie, with 90 degree bow come to invite me to dance, I want to say no, friends come and persuade me dance, he said he will teach you. Well, I can not refuse the invitation. He slowly led me carefully into the dance of the world, without borders, without words. Well, relax, and the body goes along with the music.. A song and a rotation, on the dance floor, as if I were the only dancer in the whole world, I am dancing freely.
In the second half, the toastmaster came, and my friend translated it to me. It was probably that we were lucky. Today, I had the performance of the members, professional level.. The opportunity is good, we must not miss!
The first song is a young man in a cowboy suits who dances and tells a beautiful story.. Second is a couple who dance Latin dance. I do not know what time, they have changed the professional clothing, and instantly took us to the Latin dance. The third is a fat dancer, the dancer is dancing with a song, if I just look at her fat body, I absolutely can not think of such a wonderful dance she can dance, inside and outside of the dance floor, continuous applause, cheers continued, continuous laughter, I really hope that time can stop at the moment, in the dance world. This reminds me of the first time I saw a street dance team in the SM supermarket, where it is said that they won the first prize in the international competition.. A team have black people and white people including seven boys and three girls, the thin little girl broke out from the body power, its amazing. She can do somersault, one hand support, head rotation, a lot of actions need super difficulty. I don't know the terminology, I only feel the music, the stage is in the dance, live for the first time to watch such a world-class hip-hop performances, which are much more better than on TV. Dance always infect people.. After the show they also have the scene to teach the people how to dance, many young people on the stage dance with them. As the foreigner who came here first, but also I have been a Mum, I did not dare go on stage. If it's now, I don't think I should miss this opportunity..
In the early morning of the square dance ignited my passion, in the park a team which at least has five or more dancers, dance music and style of each group are not identical, the lead dancers carry a speaker, U disk is inserted, on Broad Street, it opens the dance tour, volunteered to join, the end of the day you can also give freely 20 pesos or directly leave. No matter you recognize each other or not, the dancers are very warm and you say hello.
Jump in a circle, I choose the a pair of young men and women team, because I like their dance style, like their music, enjoy their happy smiles, like every day they different color team apparel. Dance together, really enjoy myself, and the joy can go into the body, the feelings of the release of the body can’t express with the words, each cell is like a new. Jumped a month, I am basic to keep up with the rhythm, but the action is not in place, and about moving waist and top hip, I am afraid it is temporarily unable to achieve, but I have confidence to take back the dance here, teach dancers in his hometown. Dance together, dance, and all your life!
Baguio weather seasons such as spring, we need the quilt at night, only the morning dance, I can be in a sweat. My whole body is sweating, I thought this will produce happy cells, eliminate toxins, health body, fine physique, dance soul, good.
A dancer danced when dancing, I still memorized as the new. The seven o'clock sun was already very strong, which has very strong ultraviolet rays. Once I went too late, walking through the park, I saw a dance team, there was a muscular man, wearing a vest, in the hot sun, his sweat is flowing along the muscles of his eminence, and instantly evaporation, the hot air is around him, he just look like a Superman, I was moved by this scene. He is insisting on supervising the dance team for 365 days on time, what kind of faith? The lead dancer, is a pair of young men and women, skillful action is always in place, different styles of music, tango, Cha Cha Cha, rumba, or Chinese style of martial music, ballet rhythm, and there is a kind of music which sounds like the feeling of Xinjiang dance, or black music and township village folk, I don’t know the name of the music, all gentle beat together show different flavor. Use the body to deduce the charm of music, passion, an hour of dance, I always feel the time too fast. The women's long hair shawl, and black hair, and a music thrown up, is another kind of beauty. No language, happy rhythm is the best exchange.
A black mother, her daughter in my class, every time when dancing, I met her, she will enthusiastically and embrace me, and she said hello to me with unskilled Chinese. There are also the first sight of the partner, smiling greetings. In a foreign country, it's like a big family, and the body and mind are slowly quiet in the music and dance world. once a time there was a 60 years old woman jumped tired, sitting on the roadside rest, when the end and I greet, always for my thumbs, this gesture, the Philippines is the highest award. I am also happy.
Music in the park all day playing, surrounded by music, and wind blowing, Yang Liu Yiyi, flowers in full bloom, blue sky can see the clouds and the music, the transformation of different posture. Swim in the blue sky, the lake from morning to night there were tourists leisurely paddled all kinds of boats, the strange face all smiles, Baguio City, it is life in Wonderland. Dance around the Park Lake walking a week, Lala ligament, a beautiful day starting from dancing, happiness, will continue until the next morning!
