Dancing to the tune of creativity

University competition sponsored by sportswear giant gets in the groove to showcase talent, Xing Wen reports.

The tables are turned in a street dance performance when 14 arrogant self-entitled bullies disdainfully toy with a leopard as if it were their plaything.

The narrative takes a dramatic twist when the wild spirit of the leopard is stirred awake. Capitalizing on the moment, the leopard breaks free from its confinement, reversing the roles and making prey of its former captors, who are, unsurprisingly, not as arrogant as before.

The performers, all from Password, a dance crew at the Communication University of China, skillfully utilize stage choreography, dynamic formations and layered musical elements to propel the story through its twists and turns.

The dance piece recently won a golden prize in the Beijing station of the Nike National University Street Dance Competition.

The event is the first national competition held by the sportswear giant for university street dance enthusiasts, aimed at offering students and dance communities a platform for self-expression and an opportunity to showcase their creativity.
