AS IT IS 2016-06-22 Syrian Youth Perform at Refugee1 Camp 难民营里的叙利亚青年演出展示难民不只是难民

All six of them, wearing black T-shirts, jeans and caps turned to the side, jumped on the stage dancing to music.

Meet the B-Boyz breakdancers.

They are young people who have fled2 the war in Syria with their families. They recently sang and danced in a talent show in the large Arbat refugee camp in the Kurdistan area of northern Iraq.

The show was organized by the United3 Nations High Commissioner4 for Refugees5, or UNHCR.

Arzhin Baruda was one of the performers6. He had practiced for weeks with his friends. He said he wanted to tell people through his performance that even though he is a refugee, he still has talent. He and his friends learned7 many of their dance moves by watching videos on the internet.

Baruda is one of almost 8,000 young Syrian refugees living in the Suleymania area. Most of them do not attend classes because their parents do not have the money to pay for the schooling8.

Hundreds of refugee families watched the show, which lasted for a few hours. It was a chance to forget how far from home they are.

UNHCR worker Marco Rotunno helped organize the event. He said it was a chance for young performers to show that they are more than just refugees.

He said when he told people about it “there (was) a light in their eyes.” He said they thought “Oh, I can do something, I want to participate.”

Rojbeen Abdelaziz is a 17-year-old dancer who has been in the camp for two years. She says the event gave her a chance to show the power of girls. She says boys are considered more important than girls. She says boys can dance everywhere and anytime, but girls cannot.

So she helped create a group called “A-B-C-D.” Its letters stand for “Any Body Can Dance.” The five teenage9 girls learned how to dance from watching Bollywood movies. Those are movies made in India that have many dancing scenes in them.

Abdelaziz said it was not easy to get her mother’s permission to dance. Her teammates said it was probably the last time they would be able to dance in public.

Abdelaziz said the performance changed her life. She says members of her family in Syria called her and said they had seen her on YouTube and Facebook. She says “that makes me happy.”
