Peekaboo Kids Music by Xia Guangru

There are several well-known dance/rhythm system classrooms in Taiwan - Yunmen Life Rhythm, Dacros, Aesthetic Education Orfu, Music Childhood..., and teacher Xia Guangru is in three of them - Aesthetic Education, Cloud Gate, Music Childhood They have long-term work experience, and they are responsible for important tasks in curriculum development and teacher training (20 years at Yunmen alone, but the teacher himself is visually in his 30s~). Therefore, this time I invited Teacher Xia Guangru to come to the "Educational Dance" class for freshmen and sophomores, hoping to introduce to everyone the body rhythm course he developed during his musical childhood, and to provide teacher training places for those who hope to develop in the future. Students who are engaged in dance teaching. Perhaps it seems a little early for freshmen and sophomores to talk about employment. Many of them may still be exploring their own interests - will they continue to dance after graduation? What else can you do if you're not a dancer? Should I go to graduate school, go abroad, become a teacher in a junior high school, or take part-time lessons in a dance club? Of course, I still hope to join a well-known dance company, go global, and become a respected dancer, choreographer, and artistic director. , dance company administration; or become a powerful curator, dance critic, or scholar. But how many people look forward to entering the classroom, holding a child’s hand, and being the first teacher to lead her/him into the first dance class in life? There are so many options, but no one seems to know where the opportunities are. Teacher Guangru understands everyone’s mood very well. Therefore, before officially entering the demonstration teaching, students should first be led to think about "who am I" and "what is my potential for the future". But she did not use the old-fashioned "My Wish" as the title to ask students to share. Instead, she used the treasure-hunting game "Pokémon" that caused a whirlwind in the past few years as a metaphor, asking students to think about what they would like if they were a Pokémon. What can it evolve into? This group of dance students, who have been required to have three meals a day to practice since they were young, had bluntly stated at the beginning of the lecture that they had never "played" any games when they were young, but at this time they suddenly became super excited and started writing and drawing in their notebooks. , with a bright smile on their faces, and they would also look at each other’s notebooks and smile knowingly. It seems that games have made the originally heavy "my future" fun. Life is a wonderful adventure!
