自制生日贺卡On a recent visit to NDI，I watched as Jonathan and other students practiced for an upcoming performance.I also spoke with d’ Amboi about the influence that dance has had on his life and why he started a program for children.
“Dance changed me，” he said，“and I’d like to e other young people—especially boys—have the
arts in their life，using dance as a window.”
For d’Amboi，dancing is like competitive sports.Ice hockey (冰球) players，for example，“learn to compete as a single person and as a team，” he said.“They learn how to win or lo and accept either result.And they develop skills and unity (团结) by being on a team.” The same is true for dancers.
Jonathan says that Saturdays at NDI are all about energy and fun.But dancing also requires great effort.“Work hard，” he advis other young people，“and you’ll make it.”
