Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao's call was to Nathan Donner, the leader of a parkour enthusiasts group in Los Angeles that he had met. After confirming that they happened to be playing parkour in that residential area again this afternoon, Xiao Yao brought the entire dance team there.

"What is this? City Spider-Man?" After arriving at the place, Xiao Yao led everyone towards the group of people. Before they got there, Paul had already looked at the group of people "flying over the roof and wall" and asked Xiao Yao.

"This is called "parkour", and it is a new extreme sport." Xiao Yao introduced to everyone while walking, "The main thing is to use various movements to cross the obstacles in front of you while running."

"Our band has a very important performance next week, so in the next few days, my energy will be mainly on the band's rehearsal, and I may rarely come to the dance team." Xiao Yao continued, " Besides, the two battle dances in the main competition mainly depend on the novelty and difficulty of the reactions and movements during the competition. In this regard, I can't make up a complete dance for you like before. More , still have to rely on you to create more novel, beautiful and creative movements. I brought you here today to watch them parkour, hoping that the movements in this kind of sports can inspire you and bring you some inspiration."

"You mean, we won't be cared about from now on?" Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said. There was also a trace of tension on the faces of Paul and TJ.

"Of course not," Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I will focus on the band in the next week. When the show is over next week, I will still come over and be with you as often as before. It's just that I won't be here this week. You can't just do nothing, you have to have something to practice with. I hope that when I come back next week, you can create a lot of new movements yourself, and then we can perfect it together .”

"Okay, this is no problem, we will try our best." Zhou Jingyi nodded reassuringly, with a relieved expression on her face.

A group of people walked and said that they had come to a place not far from the parkour crowd. Raymond Patsy had sharp eyes and was the first to notice Xiao Yao's arrival. He was the first to greet him with a smile and said, "Old Yuan Yang!"

"Bet on Ray!" Raymond insisted on calling him "Old Man Yang", and Xiao Yao had no choice but to retaliate by nickname.

"Are you guys saying hello?" Zhou Jingyi asked the two of them strangely.

"It's just a title, don't worry about it." Xiao Yao smiled at Zhou Jingyi, then turned to introduce Raymond: "These are my friends, they are all hip-hop dancers. I brought them here today to see you parkour, yes I want them to find some inspiration from your movements, and I hope it will be helpful for them to participate in the "National Hip-Hop Dance Competition."

"It's not you, it's us!" Nathan Donner also came over at this time, and said, "Last time you ran away on the excuse that it was too late, you have to join us this time anyway, and spend more time with us. Play for a while."

"You will too?" TJ looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Don't you think the action I just came down from the second floor of the theater is very similar to what they are playing now? And I told Piper Hugo that I play parkour, and I told you just now that this sport is called parkour .” Xiao Yao rolled his eyes helplessly.

"He is not only good at playing, but also one of the initiators of this sport, which was invented by his team. That's why we call him the old man Yang." Nathan said to the dancers.

"You invented it? You still have a parkour team? How many teams do you have?" TJ exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"Does Elder Yang have many teams?" Nathan also looked at TJ with interest and asked, "Oh, by the way, I'm Nathan Donner." Nathan stretched out his arm while speaking.

"Terrence Jackson." TJ shook his arm, and then said: "He is the choreographer of our street dance team, and a member of a band from West Bridge Middle School, and now he also has a parkour team , isn't that enough?"

"Um,

I know that his parkour team is in Huaxia, and I have seen the band, but this is the first time I have seen your hip-hop team. Yuan Lao Yang is Yuan Lao Yang, he really knows how to play! "Nathan laughed.

"Old Yuan Yang, we have all gone to the cinema to watch the movie with your band's song as the theme song. Not to mention the movie, the song is great. For that song, I went to the theater to watch the movie three times .” Raymond suddenly said to Xiao Yao as if offering a treasure.

"Thank you." Xiao Yao said to Raymond with a smile.

"It's a pity that I didn't see your band's live performance," Raymond muttered regretfully, "The effect of the two videos on the Internet is not very good."

"You don't know?" TJ asked Raymond and Nathan.

"Know what?" Nathan and Raymond both looked puzzled.

"Next week's "Daydream" concert in Los Angeles, Yang's Immortals band will be the opening guest, and will perform live at their concert." TJ said.

"Really?" Nathan and Raymond looked at Xiao Yao together.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Nathan looked at Xiao Yao complainingly.

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was a little confused.

"Forget it," Nathan waved his hand down, took out his phone and started making a call.

"Hey, Lily, I'm Nathan, do me a favor and buy me tickets for the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert. I don't care about the price, no, my idol is not "Daydream", it's their opening guest, it's a long story, you help me buy the ticket, I'll tell you when I get back."

"So, Young is your idol?" TJ asked Nathan.

"Ours," Raymond interjected, bumping fists with Nathan. "He's one of the founders of our favorite sport, and of course the idol of our group."

"He is the choreographer of our hip-hop team. We will participate in the main competition of the "National Street Dance Competition" in Los Angeles in January. Tickets are not required for the competition." TJ hurriedly said.

"No problem, tell me the time and place, and we'll go cheer you on." Nathan nodded.

"Good job!" The dancers praised tj one after another.

"Are you finished chatting? It's time to get down to business." Xiao Yao interrupted everyone. He really didn't know how to deal with this scene, so he simply took off his coat and ran to the parkour venue.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was about to start running, Nathan, Raymond, and members of the street dance team did not continue to chat. Nathan and Raymond went directly after Xiao Yao, while the street dancers found a good position and carefully watched the movements of the parkour guys on the field.

After watching for about half an hour, the hip-hop dancers also felt that this sport was very cool. Many movements are very entertaining and difficult. Watching this seems to be very helpful for them to dance hip-hop. It's just that how to turn these movements into their hip-hop movements is not something that can be thought of immediately, and they need to think about it slowly after they go back.

Xiao Yao and the street dancers stayed here for almost an hour. Hearing from Nathan and Raymond's introduction that this group of people is Xiao Yao's street dance team, many people took advantage of the break in the middle and came over to say hello to the street dance team members very enthusiastically. Playing parkour and hip-hop dancing are both very cool things, and everyone is young, so the two groups soon became familiar with each other.

During this period, tj and a few guys in the hip-hop team who were very interested in parkour also enthusiastically tried it out. As a result, the few people who played this for the first time naturally fell badly, but fortunately, Nathan and the others had reminded them of the safety precautions that they needed to pay attention to, so although they fell embarrassingly, they were not seriously injured.

After playing for an hour, Xiao Yao, who had a great time running, saw that it was getting late, so he bid farewell to Nathan and the rest of the hip-hop team, and set off for Calabasas.

On the way back, TJ, who was in the same car with Xiao Yao, Paul, and Zhou Jingyi, was still talking about the feeling of playing parkour for the first time with great interest, and proposed to organize a group of people to play parkour together after returning to Calabasas.

Xiao Yao is naturally very happy to see that TJ is so passionate about parkour. However, he still kindly reminded TJ: "Although this sport is very cool, it is still dangerous. You have to play for fun, but you must be careful not to get injured, and don't delay everyone's hip-hop competition."

"So when we started, we had to come to Los Angeles to learn from Nathan and the others, and ask them to watch over us?" TJ asked.

"That's not necessary." Xiao Yao shook his head, "Besides, Nathan and the others don't have activities and play every day. It just happened to happen today, and it may not be certain in the future."

"If you want to play, you can learn from the videos on the Internet." Xiao Yao continued, "There is a dedicated parkour video section on pv. There is a channel called yrf where the videos are uploaded by my Huaxia parkour team Yes. It introduces the safety precautions that need to be paid attention to in this sport in more detail, and there are teaching videos of some basic movements. If you want to learn, you can watch those to learn."

"Yrf? Is that your founding team that Nathan mentioned? Is this how you promote the sport?" TJ asked with interest.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "yrf is the name of our team. y is me, r and f are the acronyms of my two good friends. In this world, the three of us were the first to play parkour. indivual."

"It's so cool. Jan, you are the coolest person I've ever seen in this world. What else do you want? Take me to play with you too." TJ said again.

"Yang is good at kung fu, like you, Yang can hit three by himself, at least." Zhou Jingyi remembered what happened in the alley back then, and interjected with a smile.

"Uh" TJ was taken aback. (.)
