金秋九月，桂花飄香。

September, the golden season of the year, is filled with fragrance of osmanthus.

蘇州外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)校相城校區(qū)藝術(shù)舞蹈團(tuán)參加了由相城區(qū)舉辦的2019年《慶國(guó)慶迎中秋各界人士聯(lián)誼會(huì)》活動(dòng)。

It was just in this time that SCFLS Dancing Club participated in the 2019 Celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day held by Xiangcheng District.

現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，舞蹈團(tuán)的孩子們與國(guó)際教師共同用精彩的歌舞，為佳節(jié)慶賀，向蘇城獻(xiàn)禮，贏得了相城區(qū)委區(qū)政府領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的一致好評(píng)！

The excellent dance performed by the students of the dancing club and international teachers won great applause from the leaders of the Xiangcheng District government.

獨(dú)在異鄉(xiāng)非異客，對(duì)于舞蹈團(tuán)里這群可愛(ài)可敬的國(guó)際教師來(lái)說(shuō)，這個(gè)中秋節(jié)他們過(guò)得并不孤單。在藝術(shù)中心的指導(dǎo)下，國(guó)際教師們利用休息時(shí)間和舞蹈團(tuán)的孩子們一同排練，一同揮灑汗水，并在師生共同努力下完成了作品《舞動(dòng)蘇城》。

Though are these international teachers far away from their home, they spent a meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival this year. Under the guidance of the Art Centre, these international teachers sacrificed their break time to rehearse with the kids, and finally accomplished the performance—Dancing Soochow together.

《舞動(dòng)蘇城》這支舞蹈充分融合了街舞、印度舞、爵士舞、拉丁舞等不同舞種元素，形式多樣，輕快活潑，淋漓盡致得展現(xiàn)了我校國(guó)際多元文化與東西方經(jīng)典藝術(shù)相融合的藝術(shù)教育理念！

Various types of dance, such as street dance, Indian dance, jazz, and Latin dance are fully integrated in this dance. This flexible, brisk and lively dance demonstrates the educational philosophy of art in our school, which is to integrate the international multiculturalism with both the Eastern and Western classic arts. 

藝術(shù)是人類進(jìn)行自我表達(dá)的一種普遍形式，同時(shí)也是一種獨(dú)特的認(rèn)識(shí)方式，每個(gè)孩子天生都擁有藝術(shù)的心靈。

The arts are a universal form of human expression and a unique way of knowing. Every child is born with the artistic talent.

蘇外相城校區(qū)藝術(shù)舞蹈團(tuán)自2018年成立以來(lái)，受到了家長(zhǎng)和孩子們的廣泛關(guān)注和喜愛(ài)！在這一年多里，孩子們利用CAS課時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，研究舞蹈技巧，刻苦練習(xí)，先后完成了街舞、古典舞、民族舞等多支舞蹈作品。在今年，舞蹈團(tuán)還將更新課程，打造精品社團(tuán)，將更多優(yōu)秀的舞蹈作品展現(xiàn)給大家！

Since the foundation of SCFLS Dancing Club in 2018, wide attention and affection have been received from both parents and students. For over a year, the students have been learning the basic knowledge, inquiring into the dancing skills, and practicing with great effort by taking CAS courses. They successfully performed several dances, such as the street dance, classical dance, folk dance and etc. This year, the dancing club is going to update the course, build a “Quality” club, and bring more excellent dances to the stage!

藝術(shù)是生命的彩虹，是神秘大自然賜予純美心靈的恩典。我們相信,每個(gè)孩子都具有藝術(shù)家的天賦，期待SCFLS的學(xué)子們?cè)谌{舞臺(tái)上綻放屬于他們的光彩！

Art is the rainbow of our lives, and a gift bestowed upon us from the nature.  We believe every child has the artistic gifts and talents, and we look forward to the development of all SCFLS students on this inclusive platform!
