Dancing is a performing art, therefore performances are often considered to be the highlight of a dancer’s experience each year! Though the thought of rehearsals, costumes, and dancing for a large audience may seem overwhelming at first, participation in an dance performance is an incredible opportunity that harvests a variety of benefits for both the dancers and their families! As the deadline of our year end show registration approaches, I, as Teaching Director of Sufei and the Director of the 2019 year end show, would like to tell all of our parents and students what are the 5 benefits of Dance Recital Participation.
舞蹈是一种表演艺术，因此年末汇演往往被认为是学舞蹈的孩子每年经历的亮点! 尽管一开始，排练、服装和为一大群观众跳舞，这些想法会让人感到压力很大，但参加舞蹈表演是一令人难以置信的机会，可以为学生们和他们的家人带来各种各样的好处! 随着苏菲年末汇演的报名截止日起越来越近，作为苏菲艺术教育教学总监以及年末汇演的总策划人，我和家长及学生们讨论一下参加年末汇演的5大好处。

5 Benefits of Dance Recital Participation
参加年末汇演的5大好处
01
Performances Boost Confidence!
克服怯场,提升自信
Taking part in a recital or performance helps dancers to overcome shyness, fear, anxiety and stage fright. It gives students a chance to showcase all of their hard work, dedication, and progress from throughout the year. As children experience getting on stage, performing for an audience, and being applauded for their efforts, they gain self-confidence that will carry with them in all aspects of school and life!
参加排练或表演有助于帮助学生们克服害羞、恐惧、焦虑和怯场。它给了学生一个机会来展示他们在这一年中所有的努力、奉献和进步的机会。当孩子们走上舞台，为观众表演，并因他们的努力而受到赞扬时，他们获得了自信，这种自信将伴随他们在学校和生活的各个方面!
02
Performances Promote Teamwork!
汇演促进团队合作
By working with their fellow dancers on a group performance, dancers learn the positive aspects of working as a team to create the best end result. Teamwork and camaraderie are skills needed not only in dance class, but also school, future careers, and family life. Because this is a basic skill necessary in all aspects of life, it is never to early to start learning! Performances provide a wonderful opportunity for dancers to learn that anything one can do, a group can do better!
通过与其他舞者在一个团体表演中合作，学生们学会了团队合作，以达到最佳的最好的结果。团队合作和友爱不仅是舞蹈课上需要的技能，也是学校、未来职业和家庭生活中需要的技能。因为这是一项基本技能，在生活的各个方面都是必要的，越早开始培养合作精神越好! 表演为学生们提供了一个绝佳的机会，让他们了解到一个人可以做任何事，团体可以做得更好!
03
Performances Provide Goals!
汇演确立目标,更有学习动力
Athletes have tournaments and games, and dancers have performances! The weeks/months spent preparing for a performance teaches students how to work towards a goal! Dancers take pride in conquering new steps; and knowing that they’ll be showing their moves off to friends and family gives them the added encouragement to work hard!
运动员有比赛，舞蹈演员有表演! 花几周或几个月的时间准备一场表演，教学生如何朝着一个目标努力! 跳舞的学生们以学会新的舞蹈为荣; 知道他们会在朋友和家人面前表现自己的舞蹈，这给了他们更大的动力去努力跳舞!

Performances Build New Skills!

05
Performances Create Memories!
表演记忆是一生的记忆
Performance memories are lifelong memories! Performances provide dancers with the opportunity to share what they have been learning with their friends and families. Costumes become treasured keepsakes, and performance pictures become the highlights of photo albums and scrapbooks. For families, a performance is a time to celebrate their dancer’s achievements, and for dancers, the performance instills a passion for the art of dancing and performing.
表演记忆是一生的记忆! 表演为学生们提供了与朋友和家人分享他们所学到的东西的机会。服装成为珍贵的纪念品，表演照片成为相册和剪贴簿的亮点。对家庭来说，表演是庆祝舞蹈学生成就的时刻，对舞蹈学生来说来说，表演注入了对舞蹈和表演艺术的激情。
