I'm Jon M. Chu. And I'm not a dancer,
2
104000
3000
我是Jon M. Chu。我不是一个舞蹈家
02:02
I'm not a choreographer -- I'm actually a filmmaker, a storyteller.
3
107000
4000
我也不是舞编，我其实是一个拍电影的，一个讲故事的
02:06
I directed a movie two years ago
4
111000
2000
两年前我执导了一部电影
02:08
called "Step Up 2: The Streets."
5
113000
2000
叫做“走向街头”
02:10
Anybody? Anybody? Yeah!
6
115000
2000
你们谁看过吗？看过吗？啊，好
02:12
During that movie I got to meet a ton of hip-hop dancers --
7
117000
2000
在拍摄这部电影的过程中我认识了一大批街头嘻哈舞蹈家
02:14
amazing, the best in the world --
8
119000
2000
世界上最神奇，最棒的
02:16
and they brought me into a society, the sort of underground
9
121000
3000
他们把我带到了另一个社会，有点像地下社会
02:19
street culture that blew my mind.
10
124000
2000
街头文化让我大吃一惊
02:21
I mean, this is literally human beings
11
126000
2000
我意识到这是一群活生生的的人
02:23
with super-human strength and abilities.
12
128000
3000
他们有着超常的韧性和本领
02:26
They could fly in the air. They could bend their elbow all the way back.
13
131000
2000
他们可以在空中飞。他们可以把他们的手臂倒弯过来
02:28
They could spin on their heads for 80 times in a row.
14
133000
3000
他们能头顶在地上连续转80多圈
02:31
I'd never seen anything like that.
15
136000
2000
这是我以前从来没有见识过的
02:33
When I was growing up, my heroes were people like
16
138000
2000
还没长大的时候，我的英雄是
02:35
Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson.
17
140000
4000
Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson.
02:39
I grew up in a musical family.
18
144000
2000
我成长在音乐之家
02:41
(Laughter)
19
146000
1000
(笑声)
02:42
And those guys, those were like, ultimate heroes.
20
147000
3000
而这些家伙，他们就是终级英雄
02:45
Being a shy, little, skinny Asian kid growing up in the Silicon Valley
21
150000
3000
作为一个在硅谷长大的瘦小腼腆的亚洲孩子
02:48
with low self-esteem, those guys made me believe in something bigger.
22
153000
3000
有点自卑，这些家伙让我相信可以成就更大的事情
02:51
Those guys made me want to, like, "I'm going to do that
23
156000
2000
这些家伙让我觉得，好像“我今天
02:53
moonwalk at that bar mitzvah tonight for that girl."
24
158000
3000
晚上要为女孩子们在成人仪式上跳月球漫步。”
02:56
(Applause)
25
161000
3000
(掌声)
02:59
And it seems like those dance heroes have disappeared,
26
164000
3000
看上去这些舞蹈英雄好像已经消失了
03:02
sort of relegated to the background of pop stars and music videos.
27
167000
4000
他们常常被当成流行明星和音乐录像的背景
03:06
But after seeing what I've seen,
28
171000
2000
但是当我亲眼目睹后
03:08
the truth is, they have not disappeared at all.
29
173000
2000
发现实际上，他们一点儿也没有消失
03:10
They're here, getting better and better every day.
30
175000
3000
他们就在这里，并且每一天都变得越来越好
03:13
And dance has progressed.
31
178000
2000
舞蹈也有了新进展
03:15
It is insane what dance is right now.
32
180000
2000
现在的舞蹈真是令人不可思议
03:17
Dance has never had a better friend than technology.
33
182000
2000
没有什么比科技更能推动舞蹈的发展
03:19
Online videos and social networking ...
34
184000
2000
在线录像，社交网络
03:21
dancers have created a whole global laboratory online
35
186000
3000
舞蹈家们为舞蹈创造了一个全球的在线实验室
03:24
for dance, where kids in Japan are taking moves
36
189000
2000
日本的孩子们从YouTube的
03:26
from a YouTube video created in Detroit,
37
191000
2000
一段在底特律制作的录像上学会新的舞蹈动作
03:28
building on it within days and releasing a new video,
38
193000
3000
然后在那个基础上添加新的动作，然后发布一段新的录像
03:31
while teenagers in California are taking the Japanese video and remixing it
39
196000
2000
而加州的青少年则将日本的录像融合进了Philly特色
03:33
with a Philly flair to create a whole new dance style in itself.
40
198000
4000
形成一种全新的舞蹈风格
03:37
And this is happening every day.
41
202000
2000
这每天都在发生
03:39
And from these bedrooms and living rooms and garages,
42
204000
3000
从卧室到客厅到车库
03:42
with cheap webcams,
43
207000
2000
用廉价的摄像机
03:44
lies the world's great dancers of tomorrow.
44
209000
2000
培养了明天世界上最伟大的舞蹈家
03:46
Our Fred Astaires, our Gene Kellys
45
211000
2000
我们的Fred Astaires，我们的 Gene Kellys
03:48
our Michael Jacksons are right at our fingertips,
46
213000
2000
我们的Michael Jacksons就在我们的身边
03:50
and may not have that opportunity, except for us.
47
215000
3000
如果没有我们，他们也许没有这个机会
03:53
So, we created the LXD,
48
218000
2000
所以我们建立了LXD
03:55
sort of a -- the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers,
49
220000
3000
意思是：杰出舞蹈家组成的舞蹈团
03:58
a justice league of dancers that believe
50
223000
2000
它由一群相信舞蹈可以改变世界的
04:00
that dance can have a transformative effect on the world.
51
225000
2000
舞蹈家组成
04:02
A living, breathing comic book series,
52
227000
3000
他们创造着活生生的动画系列
04:05
but unlike Spiderman and Iron Man,
53
230000
2000
唯一跟蜘蛛侠和钢铁人不一样的地方是
04:07
these guys can actually do it.
54
232000
2000
这些家伙可以真的做到
04:09
And we're going to show you some today. So, let me introduce to you,
55
234000
2000
今天我们就在这里为你们展示一下。现在，让我向你们介绍
04:11

04:22
(Applause)
61
247000
1000
(掌声)
04:23
(Video): Madd Chadd: When people first see me,
62
248000
2000
(录像)：Madd Chadd：当人们第一次看见我
04:25
I get a lot of different reactions actually.
63
250000
4000
事实上大家的反应很不一样
04:29
Sometimes you would think that maybe kids would enjoy it,
64
254000
4000
有的时候你想大概孩子们会喜欢这东西
04:33
but sometimes they get a little freaked out.
65
258000
4000
但是有的时候他们倒是被吓倒了
04:37
And, I don't know, I kind of get a kick out of that a little bit.
66
262000
4000
我不知道，我觉得这挺逗的
04:41
(Music)
67
266000
3000
(音乐)
05:57
(Applause)
68
342000
5000
(掌声)
06:02
J Smooth: When I'm in the zone -- I'm dancing and free styling it --
69
347000
3000
J Smooth：当我在场上的时候，我边跳边自由创造些动作
06:05
I actually visually kind of picture
70
350000
3000
我事实上在想象一些图片
06:08
lines, and moving them.
71
353000
2000
线条，然后移动它们
06:10
I think of like, Transformers,
72
355000
2000
我想到变形金刚
06:12
like how panels open and then they fold,
73
357000
4000
像它们那样打开折叠模块
06:16
they fold in, and then you close that panel.
74
361000
3000
它们折叠起来，然后你关起那一块
06:19
And then another thing opens,
75
364000
3000
然后另一块打开
06:22
you close that.
76
367000
2000
然后你关起来
06:24
(Music)
77
369000
3000
(音乐)
07:40
(Applause)
78
445000
6000
(掌声)
07:46
Kid David: It's kind of like, honestly a lot of times
79
451000
2000
Kid David：老实说，很多时候，好象
07:48
I don't really know what's going on
80
453000
2000
我真的不知道怎么回事
07:50
when I'm dancing.
81
455000
2000
当我跳舞的时候
07:52
Because at that point it's just really like, it's my body and the music.
82
457000
2000
因为那一刻音乐就是我身体的一部分
07:54
It's not really a conscious decision,
83
459000
2000
这不是一个有意识的决定
07:56
"I'm going to do this next, I'm going to do this."
84
461000
3000
“我下面做这个，做那个”
07:59
It's kind of like this other level
85
464000
3000
我们在另一个层面
08:02
where you can't make choices anymore,
86
467000
2000
你不再能够做出选择
08:04
and it's just your body reacting to certain sounds in the music.
87
469000
4000
你的身体只是对音乐中的不同声音做出反应
08:08
I got my name just because I was so young.
88
473000
2000
我得到这个名字只是因为我很年轻
08:10
I was young when I started. I was younger than a lot of the people I was dancing with.
89
475000
4000
我很小就开始跳街舞了。我比很多跟我一起跳的人都要小
08:14
So, it was always like, they called me Kid David, because I was the kid.
90
479000
4000
所以他们都叫我小孩大卫，因为我就是个小孩
08:21
(Music)
91
486000
3000
(音乐)
09:09
(Applause)
92
534000
7000
(掌声)
09:16
L'il C: I tell them to create a ball,
93
541000
2000
L'il c：我让他们去做个球
09:18
and then you just use that ball of energy.
94
543000
2000
然后你就用球带来的力量
09:20
And instead of throwing it out, people would think
95
545000
2000
不是把它扔出去，人们会觉得
09:22
that's a krump move, that's a krump move.
96
547000
2000
那是个Krump移动，那是Krump移动
09:24
That's not a krump move. You're going to throw it out,
97
549000
2000
这不是一个Krump移动。你将要把球扔出去
09:26
you throw it out, and you hold it.
98
551000
2000
你扔出去，你握住
09:28
And you let it go, and then right when you see the tail,
99
553000
2000
然后你让它出去，而当你看见它的后面
09:30
you grab it by the tail, then you bring it back in.
100
555000
2000
你抓住它的后面，然后你把它带回来
09:32
And you just got this piece of energy
101
557000
3000
你就把握了这股力量
09:35
and you just, you're manipulating it.
102
560000
2000
你只是控制它
09:37
You know, you create power, then you tame it.
103
562000
4000
你知道你创造了一种力量，然后驯服它
09:45
(Music)
104
570000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
The LXD - Dance adventurersThe LXD (the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers) are building an interactive web series that represents the next evolution of dance.
Why you should listen
Imagine two rival factions -- one good, one evil -- squaring off in an epic battle ... an epic dance battle. Welcome to The LXD, a new online adventure in which heroes and villains combat each other with dance superpowers. With stunning choreography, dancers float over the ground like marionettes or crush the laws of physics beneath their feet when they perform breathtaking aerial maneuvers and transcendental step sequences.
The series hopes to do more than follow the dance-battle zeitgeist that rules today’s TV ratings. In addition to live performances, The LXD reveals dance superheroes on both sides of the screen—viewers can learn dance moves from instructional videos, and even become part of the story by participating in the web community. The LXD is written and directed by Jon Chu, a veteran of dance productions, including the box office sensation Step Up 2: The Streets and the Internet phenomenon, The Biggest Online Dance Battle.
