Zhongxin. com, December 18 (Zhang Naiyue) "Hands are shaking, feet are shaking". Recently, a dance called "Subject Three" has been constantly swiping the screen network, and even set off a craze around the world.
Even the Royal Russian Ballet, which is touring in China, "do as the Romans do". After the performance, it suddenly danced the popular online dance "Subject III", which won applause and laughter, and caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
"Swan Lake" meets "Subject 3"
The full name of "subject three" is "subject three in Guangxi", and its origin has been difficult to verify. Many people think that it comes from the anecdotal saying that "every Guangxi has to go through three exams in life: singing folk songs, talking about rice noodles and dancing".
Some netizens introduced on Russian social media that the popular "Ballet Edition Subject III" came from a performance of the Royal Russian Ballet in Shenyang, China recently. After the performance of "Swan Lake", the ballerinas danced "Subject III". Many dancers dressed in ballet costumes danced in unison with the rhythm of modern electronic music, and some people could not help smiling.

In addition, netizens from Britain, Ukraine, the Philippines, Spain and other countries showed off their dancing and attracted numerous praises.
Smile, dance and resonate.
"Subject III" can dance both solo and in groups: people twist their waists, swing their hips and wave their hands, and with their ankles half twisted, they are extremely silky in one go, which is called "in line with the mental state of contemporary people" and "the square dance of young people". Even if you watch it, you can have fun and relax from the video.

Overseas, "Subject III" first spread among China students, and then "spread" to overseas teenagers. Many young people with foreign faces shouted, "The Russian area is divided", "The English area is not big, creating myths" and started "competition", which added heat to the "subject three".
Music and dance are ways of communication that can transcend nations and languages. "Subject III" spread quickly because of its easy-to-understand and relatively easy-to-remember dance and "brainwashing" music, which easily mobilized the senses and was easily imitated.
However, the success of "subject three" in becoming a cultural phenomenon "going out of the circle" or even "going out to sea" is inseparable from the feeling of relaxation and freedom it brings to people, which is a simple happiness that netizens from all over the world can experience. Faced with the pressure of reality, modern people can show their personality, gain resonance and vent their emotions by playing with stalks, and they can find happiness from it no matter where they come from.
The collision between ballet, Latin dance and the popular internet stem "Subject III" is the communication between tradition and modernity, and also the communication between different cultures. Between a gesture and a slide, the audience and dancers will smile, and different nationalities will know each other better.
