王ㄧ鳴，就是大家熟知的小寶，最近以他的舞蹈動作席捲全世界，不管是機械舞、鎖舞、還是霹靂舞，跳遍麥可傑克遜的閃人、“Beat it”, “危險之旅” 和 “比莉珍”.
Xiao Bao draws curious crowds when he breaks into a spontaneous dance routine.

“Watching a little child dance so well is very strange. It seems these days parents are putting more and more effort into nurturing kids like him.”
北京居民杜易凱說：「看到小孩舞跳的這麼好很奇特，最近的父母似乎更努力在栽培像他一樣的小孩。」
Xiao Bao has been dancing since he was two, and claims he was tapping away before he’d seen the light of day.

“When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving around like this. But we didn’t think that he had such a strong feeling for music. When he was just a couple of months old we would let him listen to music and he would immediately stop crying and calm down.”
小寶的母親邊愛卿說：「當他小的時候，我們就開始放音樂給他聽，他就像這樣動來動去，我們也沒想到他的音感這麼強，他才幾個月大時，放音樂給他聽，他就立刻不哭了，就安靜下來。」
