Rising Stars Shine at the Water Festival · News · Hsinmin Elementary 新民國小

To give children a fun and memorable summer, Tianzhong Township Office organized a two-day Water Festival packed with exciting performances and activities. And in the heart of it all, eight young dancers from Hsinmin Elementary's dance club — Hsinmin Rising Stars — took the stage as invited guests! 🎉

These eight students have been training hard in the school's dance club, challenging themselves across all kinds of dance styles. When they first started, many of them were shy and nervous — afraid to look up at the audience. But step by step, through practice after practice and performance after performance, they found their confidence, discovered their self-worth, and learned to love the stage. Today, all that hard work finally burst into something brilliant. 🌟

They chose the powerful K-pop hit Golden — and they absolutely delivered. With sharp, synchronized moves and determined eyes, they sent a clear message to every single person watching:

"On this stage, we will shine — golden."『我們將會在舞台上，像黃金一樣綻放最耀眼的光芒！』

A huge thank-you to all the parents who came to cheer the dancers on in person. Watching your children pour their hearts into every move — and seeing that confidence light up their faces — is something truly worth being proud of. 💛🥰
