And essentially we're getting together as a group, preferably groups of five, six, seven, eight at most.

我們基本上是以小組的形式聚在一起，最好是五、六、七、八人一組。

The reason that is it just allows for a faster rotation because if you're going to be jamming for 20 or 30 minutes there's only so many songs really that you're going to be playing.

原因是這樣可以加快輪換速度，因為如果你要即興演奏 20 或 30 分鐘，你只能演奏這麼多首歌曲。

There's only so many amount of times that you're going in.

你只能進去這麼多次。

If you're going to be a group of 30 people and everybody's going one after another people are going to have to wait a long time before they go in.

如果你的團隊有 30 人，而每個人都一個接一個地去，那麼人們就得等很長時間才能進去。

It also allows for those who are let's say less inclined to take space or a bit more shyer or a bit more overwhelmed by these certain things.

它還能讓那些不太願意佔用空間、比較害羞或對這些事情比較不知所措的人有更多的機會。

It gives them the space to kind of gradually go in and you know feel like they're participating in this thing but now it's their turn to also participate.

這給了他們一個空間，讓他們逐漸參與進來，你知道，他們覺得自己在參與這件事，但現在輪到他們也參與進來了。

So for me it's inclusive but also you're pushing people a little bit to come in.

是以，對我來說，它具有包容性，但同時你也在推動人們加入進來。

So it's a little tough love as well in a certain way, right?

所以在某種程度上，這也是一種嚴厲的愛，對嗎？

You get me.

你懂我的意思。

Of course we have to, some people can go through these sessions and never go in and that's fine and that's okay but for the most part I think it's very important if you want to improve as a dancer yourself that you kind of push yourself because we're now working on the mental and the mental block is people think I'm bad.

當然，我們必須這樣做，有些人經過這些課程後就再也不進去了，這很好，沒關係，但在大多數情況下，我認為如果你想提高自己的舞技，你就必須逼迫自己，這一點非常重要，因為我們現在正在努力克服心理障礙，而心理障礙就是人們認為我跳得不好。

People think I suck or I think I suck but really what you're saying is when you say oh I think I'm bad or I don't think I have enough material to show or I don't think I'm ready for this or I don't think this and that.

人們認為我很差勁，或者我認為自己很差勁，但其實你的意思是，當你說 "哦，我覺得我很差勁"，或者 "我覺得我沒有足夠的素材來展示"，或者 "我覺得我還沒準備好"，或者 "我覺得我還沒準備好"。

What you're really saying is I think that people think that I suck.

你真正的意思是，我認為人們認為我很差勁。

I think that people think that I'm bad.

我覺得人們認為我很壞。

I fear that people are going to judge me because I'm not good enough and that's unfair.

我擔心人們會因為我不夠好而對我評頭論足，這是不公平的。

That's unfair to the people around you.

這對你周圍的人是不公平的。

People aren't asking for you to put those horrible thoughts into their heads that are projected back at you.

人們並不是要你把那些可怕的想法灌輸到他們的腦子裡，然後再投射到你身上。

Okay so just get into a group that you feel you can trust and just let go.

好吧，那就加入一個你覺得可以信任的團體，放手去做吧。

Kill that ego of yours.

扼殺你的自負

Yes, ego.

是的，自我。

It's egocentric to think that.

這種想法太以自我為中心了。

Yeah, it's almost like some form of selfishness to not go in and I say this a lot it's a you know you're hold your you're holding back yourself you're holding something that my people might find actually very captivating interesting and inspiring and for the most part the people that I learned best from were those who were the shyest because when they came in they didn't come in with all the flashy steps and all this high energy that I had.

是啊，不進去幾乎就像是某種形式的自私，我經常這麼說，你知道你在保留你的東西，你在保留你自己，你在保留我的人可能會發現實際上非常吸引人、有趣和鼓舞人心的東西，在大多數情況下，我從那些最害羞的人身上學到的東西是最好的，因為當他們進來的時候，他們不會像我一樣帶著所有華麗的舞步和所有這些高能量進來。

They came in with something very different very fresh and something very a quality that I had to inspire to and so they helped me improve a lot as a dancer because I was like oh wow this calm energy this is what I need and this thing is this this is this is beautiful so you know so the mental game is something you need to train as much as anything else if not more because it's going to help you be able to step on stage with confidence it's gonna be able to step into a competition with confidence it's gonna be able for you to just simply if you're dancing for yourself to let go to let go so this is why I recommend a jam sessions even at the end of classes if you give it a regular class put put a jam session at the end of class for students to learn from day one what it is just to just to get loose to let go to not care and and yeah and yeah so there you go make that make sure that you do it at the end it's also a very it's a it's a part where you can encourage each other it doesn't need to be vocal right it doesn't need to be like this big party mode it can just be a simple like clap applause you know our acknowledgement like hey that was that was dope that was really cool what you just did thanks for sharing and then the other person goes in now one of the things that we look for when we're doing jams is really we need to stay and the reason is is that you just go in for a half chorus or a chorus no no no you need to stay for two three four choruses whatever it's just for a minute to a minute two minutes and the reason is is because after about 20 seconds you'll run out of steps and that's when you tap into your most creative self because now you're going to have to do things that you that you're less automatic to fall into remember we were talking about falling out of that comfort zone well this is going to allow you to really train that part and feel confident with that part about where you're you're now tapping into this letting loose and getting creative and just letting things flow right and that's when also the things that get most interesting for people outside the circus it's not like okay Charleston squat Charleston fall off the log if you oh what's that I never seen that before oh wow the way they're moving the way they're doing this oh wow music will always be your friend it will be home make sure to always come back to the music this so if you lose just when if you forget with your steps or something just go to the music and just let go and just feel trust trust yourself that's getting loose right nobody's gonna care this is this is a jam session at the end of a training that's it okay make sure to put that in your trainings it's really going to up everybody's game really and you'll see the difference gradually after a couple of weeks and then especially after a couple of months and years like 100% you will see the difference

他們帶著與眾不同的東西來，非常新鮮，非常有品質，我必須激發他們，所以他們幫助我作為一個舞者提高了很多，因為我就像哦，哇，這平靜的能量，這是我需要的，這東西是這是這是美麗的，所以你知道，心理遊戲是你需要訓練的東西，就像其他任何東西一樣，如果不是的話。因為它能幫助你充滿自信地走上舞臺，充滿自信地參加比賽，充滿自信地為你自己而跳，放手去做，放手去做，所以這就是為什麼我推薦即興表演課程，即使是在課程的最後，如果你給它一個常規的課程，把即興表演課程放在課堂的最後。讓學生們從第一天開始就學會什麼是放鬆，什麼是釋放，什
