I'm Jon M. Chu. And I'm not a dancer,

Ja sam Jon M. Chu, i ja nisam plesač.

I'm not a choreographer -- I'm actually a filmmaker, a storyteller.

Ja nisam koreograf, ja sam u stvari redatelj, pripovijedač.

I directed a movie two years ago

Režirao sam film prije dvije godine

called "Step Up 2: The Streets."

pod nazivom "Step Up 2: Ulice."

Anybody? Anybody? Yeah!

Netko? Bilo tko? Odlično!

During that movie I got to meet a ton of hip-hop dancers --

Za vrijeme tog filma susreo sam tone hip-hop plesača --

amazing, the best in the world --

nevjerojatno, najbolje na svijetu --

and they brought me into a society, the sort of underground

i oni su me uvukli u svijet, neku vrstu podzemne

street culture that blew my mind.

ulične kulture koja je bila nevjerojatna.

I mean, this is literally human beings

Mislim to su doslovno ljudska bića

with super-human strength and abilities.

sa super-ljudskom snagom i sposobnostima.

They could fly in the air. They could bend their elbow all the way back.

Oni su mogli letjeti zrakom. Mogli su svinuti lakat skroz unazad.

They could spin on their heads for 80 times in a row.

Mogli su se zavrtjeti na svojoj glavi po 80 puta zaredom.

I'd never seen anything like that.

Nikada nisam vidio ništa slično.

When I was growing up, my heroes were people like

Kada sam odrastao, moji heroji su bili ljudi poput

Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Michael Jackson.

Freda Astairea, Gene Kelly, Michaela Jacksona.

I grew up in a musical family.

Ja sam odrastao u muzičkoj obitelji.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And those guys, those were like, ultimate heroes.

A ti ljudi, to su bili ultimativni heroji.

Being a shy, little, skinny Asian kid growing up in the Silicon Valley

Bio sam sramežljivi mali Azijac koji odrasta u Silicijskoj dolini

with low self-esteem, those guys made me believe in something bigger.

s malim samopouzdanjem, i ti ljudi su me natjerali vjerovati u nešto veće.

Those guys made me want to, like, "I'm going to do that

Ti ljudi su me natjerali željeti, poput, "Napraviti ću taj

moonwalk at that bar mitzvah tonight for that girl."

mjesečev hod na bar mitzvah večeras za tu djevojku."

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

And it seems like those dance heroes have disappeared,

I čini se kako su ti plesni heroji nestali,

sort of relegated to the background of pop stars and music videos.

na neki način su degradirani u prošlost s pop zvijezdama i muzičkim videima.

But after seeing what I've seen,

Ali nakon što sam vidio ono što sam vidio,

the truth is, they have not disappeared at all.

istina je, oni nisu uopće nestali.

They're here, getting better and better every day.

Oni su ovdje, i postaju sve bolji svakim danom.

And dance has progressed.

I ples je napredovao.

It is insane what dance is right now.

Ludo je gdje se ples nalazi danas.

Dance has never had a better friend than technology.

Ples nikada nije imao boljeg prijatelja od tehnologije.

Online videos and social networking ...

Online videi i društveno umrežavanje ...

dancers have created a whole global laboratory online

plesači su kreirali cijeli globalni laboratorij online

for dance, where kids in Japan are taking moves

za ples, gdje klinci u Japanu preuzimaju pokrete

from a YouTube video created in Detroit,

s YouTube videa koji su napravljeni u Detroitu,

building on it within days and releasing a new video,

nadograđujući na to unutar nekoliko dana i izbacujući novi video,

while teenagers in California are taking the Japanese video and remixing it

dok tinejdžeri u Kaliforniji preuzimaju japanski video i remiksiraju ga

with a Philly flair to create a whole new dance style in itself.

s doticajem Philadelphije kako bi kreirali cijeli novi plesni stil za sebe.

And this is happening every day.

I to se događa svaki dan.

And from these bedrooms and living rooms and garages,

I iz tih soba i dnevnih boravaka i garaža,

with cheap webcams,

s jeftinim web kamerama,

lies the world's great dancers of tomorrow.

dolaze najveći plesači sutrašnjice.

Our Fred Astaires, our Gene Kellys

Naši Fred Astairei, naše Gene Kelly

our Michael Jacksons are right at our fingertips,

naši Michael Jacksoni su navrh prsta,

and may not have that opportunity, except for us.

i možda neće imati tu priliku, osim za nas.

So, we created the LXD,

Tako smo kreirali LXD,

sort of a -- the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers,

na neki način -- Legiju izvanrednih plesača,

a justice league of dancers that believe

pravednu ligu plesača koji vjeruju

that dance can have a transformative effect on the world.

da ples može imati transformativnu ulogu na svijet.

A living, breathing comic book series,

Strip serija uživo,

but unlike Spiderman and Iron Man,

ali za razliku od Spidermana i Iron Mana,

these guys can actually do it.

ovi ljudi to stvarno rade.

And we're going to show you some today. So, let me introduce to you,

I pokazati ćemo vam neke od njih danas. Dozvolite da vam predstavim,

some of our heroes right now.

neke od naših heroja sada.

We got Madd Chadd,

Imamo Madd Chadda,

Lil' C, Kid David and J Smooth.

Lil' C, Kid Davida i J Smootha.

Please be excited, have fun, yell, scream.

Molim vas budite uzbuđeni, zabavljajte se, derite se, vrištite.

Ladies and gentlemen: The LXD.

Dame i gospodo, LXD.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

(Video): Madd Chadd: When people first see me,

(Video): Madd Chadd: Kada su me ljudi prvi puta vidjeli

I get a lot of different reactions actually.

dobio sam puno različitih reakcija ustvari.

Sometimes you would think that maybe kids would enjoy it,

Ponekad mislite da će klinci u tome uživati,

but sometimes they get a little freaked out.

ali ponekad se pomalo preplaše.

And, I don't know, I kind of get a kick out of that a little bit.

I ne znam, i ja pomalo bivam izbačen.

(Music)

(Glazba)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

J Smooth: When I'm in the zone -- I'm dancing and free styling it --

J Smooth: Kada sam u zoni, plešem slobodnim stilom,

I actually visually kind of picture

na neki način vizualno snimam

lines, and moving them.

linije i krećem se po njima.

I think of like, Transformers,

Mislim na, Transformere,

like how panels open and then they fold,

kako se paneli otvaraju i onda sklapaju,

they fold in, and then you close that panel.

oni se sklope, a vi ih zatvorite.

And then another thing opens,

I onda se druga stvar otvori.

you close that.

Zatvorite to.

(Music)

(Glazba)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Kid David: It's kind of like, honestly a lot of times

Kid David: Na neki način, iskreno puno puta

I don't really know what's going on

ne znam što se događa

when I'm dancing.

kada plešem.

Because at that point it's just really like, it's my body and the music.

Jer u tom trenutku postoje samo moje tijelo i muzika.

It's not really a conscious decision,

To nije stvarno svjesna odluka,

"I'm going to do this next, I'm going to do this."

"Napraviti ću ovo, pa nakon toga ovo."

It's kind of like this other level

To je na neki način na drugoj razini

where you can't make choices anymore,

na kojoj ne možeš raditi izbor

and it's just your body reacting to certain sounds in the music.

i tvoje tijelo reagira na određene zvukove u muzici.

I got my name just because I was so young.

Dobio sam ime samo jer sam bio mlad.

I was young when I started. I was younger than a lot of the people I was dancing with.

Bio sam mlad kada sam započeo, bio sam mlađi od većine ljudi s kojima sam počeo plesati.

So, it was always like, they called me Kid David, because I was the kid.

I tako su me uvijek zvali Kid (dijete) David, jer sam bio dijete.

(Music)

(Glazba)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

L'il C: I tell them to create a ball,

Lil'C: Kažem im da kreiraju loptu,

and then you just use that ball of energy.

i onda samo koristite tu loptu energije.

And instead of throwing it out, people would think

I umjesto da je bacite vani, ljudi bi pomislili

that's a krump move, that's a krump move.

to je "krump" pokret, to je "krump" pokret.

That's not a krump move. You're going to throw it out,

To nije "krump" pokret. Izbaciti ćete to van,

you throw it out, and you hold it.

izbacite van i zadržite to.

And you let it go, and then right when you see the tail,

I pustite da ide, i onda kada vidite rep

you grab it by the tail, then you bring it back in.

zgrabite za rep, i dovučete nazad.

And you just got this piece of energy

I samo imate taj komad energije

and you just, you're manipulating it.

i s njime jednostavno, manipulirate.

You know, you create power, then you tame it.

Znate, kreirate snagu, i onda je ukrotite.
