Wang Yiming, better known as Xiao Bao, has been making waves across the world with his popping, locking and break dancing moves to Michael Jackson classics including “Beat it”, “Dangerous” and “Billie Jean”.
王ㄧ鸣,就是大家熟知的小宝,最近以他的舞蹈动作席卷全世界,不管是机械舞、锁舞、还是霹雳舞,跳遍麦可杰克逊的闪人、“Beat it”, “危险之旅” 和 “比莉珍”.
Xiao Bao draws curious crowds when he breaks into a spontaneous dance routine.
当小宝开始如平常不自主的跳起舞时,吸引了好奇的群众。
[Du Yicai, Beijing Resident]:
“Watching a little child dance so well is very strange. It seems these days parents are putting more and more effort into nurturing kids like him.”
北京居民杜易凯说:“看到小孩舞跳的这么好很奇特,最近的父母似乎更努力在栽培像他一样的小孩。”
Xiao Bao has been dancing since he was two, and claims he was tapping away before he’d seen the light of day.
小宝从二岁就开始跳舞,还宣称天一亮就开始跳舞。
[Xiao Bao, Michael Jackson Impersonator]:
“Even before I was born I would listen to music and dance in my mom’s stomach."
模仿麦可杰克逊的小宝说:“在我出生之前,还在妈妈肚子里时就听音乐及跳舞了。”
Xiao Bao was born prematurely, and doctors suggested moving his limbs to music would help build his weak muscles.
小宝是早产儿,医师建议随着音乐摆动四肢,可以帮助锻炼他衰弱的肌肉。
His parents were surprised by how he took to the rhythm.
他的父母很惊讶他怎么跟得上旋律。
[Bian Aiqing, Xiao Bao’s Mother]:
“When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving around like this. But we didn’t think that he had such a strong feeling for music. When he was just a couple of months old we would let him listen to music and he would immediately stop crying and calm down.”
小宝的母亲边爱卿说:“当他小的时候,我们就开始放音乐给他听,他就像这样动来动去,我们也没想到他的音感这么强,他才几个月大时,放音乐给他听,他就立刻不哭了,就安静下来。”
It was not long before her son’s interest turned into a hobby. They spend nearly $3,000 a month on dance lessons and outfits.
没多久前,她儿子的兴趣便成了嗜好,他们一个月花了近三千人民币在舞蹈课及服装上。
Xiao Bao is serious about his dancing career and says he would not mind becoming famous one day
