童心中校明星班学生参加国际艺术节闪亮登场
Splendid Performance at International Festival by Fine Arts Chinese School
一年一度的国际文化艺术节在麦城最大的艺术中心Overture Center隆重举行，我们中国专场共选派出5个优秀的节目在中心里最大的表演厅Overture Hall为大家表演了具有中国特色的舞蹈、民歌、民乐…特别是我们童心中校明星班的学生以“快乐童心 闪亮宝贝”为题，为此次艺术节提供了精彩的华裔儿童服装表演。我们的节目让现场掌声欢笑声不绝于耳，小明星们的演出真是太棒了！
The annual International Festival was held in Overture Center, the largest performance art facility in Madison. In the main theatre, the Overture Hall, the Chinese community showcased five traditional performances, including Chinese dances, folk songs, and folk instruments. The students from Madison Fine Arts Chinese School performed a delightful fashion show, titled “Joyful, Shining Little Stars.” There were applauses and laughter throughout their entire performance; our little stars did an excellent job!
我们童心艺术中文学校开设的明星班，意在挖掘出学校里各方面的表演人才。通过各类演出形式，比如舞蹈表演、服装表演、乐器表演、小品表演、相声表演等加强对学生的表演艺术培训指导，我们充分开发学生的兴趣爱好，并让学生通过参与各类演出活动展示自己，提高文化自豪感，让孩子们更加可爱更加自信！
The “Little Stars” class at Madison Fine Arts Chinese School is designed to develop and promote talents in performing arts. Through different forms of performing arts, such as dance, fashion show, instruments, skits, and cross talks, we help students develop and grow their interests. In addition, through public performances and recitals, the students not only get to showcase their hard work, but also their pride in their culture. As a result, the students continue to develop their skills and self-confidence.
我校明星班会不定期开办，不收学费及服装等杂费，学校会额外租用专业场地排练节目，是一项专门惠利我校学生的活动。只要是咱们童心中校的学生，都可以报名加入明星班。而学校只需孩子和家长积极配合老师的工作即可。
The “Little Stars” class is a special class without a fixed schedule. Madison Fine Arts Chinese School does not charge tuition or other fees such as costume fee. The school may rent spaces at professional dance studios for special rehearsals. The “Little Stars” class is a special benefit to the students at Madison Fine Arts Chinese School. Any student at Madison Fine Arts Chinese School can register for the class. We only request full support and cooperation from the parents.
感谢本期明星班家长们的支持配合，明星班孩子们的努力排练，我们的演出才能这么成功！希望新的一年，有更多的小明星们加入我们的明星班，为麦城热爱中华文化艺术的人们带来更多更精彩的表演！
We would like to thank the parents of the current class for the support and cooperation, and the students for their hard work culminating in highly successful performance at International Festival 2019. We hope to have more little stars joining our class in the new year, so we can continue to perform the wonderful Chinese culture and arts for the Madison community.
