Brief Introduction£º
The origins of Chinese dance can be traced back
as far as four or five thousands years ago. Now,
after thousands of years of development, and with
the input of many ethnic minority groups, Chinese
dance is characterized by a wide range of styles.
This program introduces the foundations of Chinese
dance and the most characteristic of classical and
folk dance. China's national history is written
by its prominent figures, but its cultural history
is recorded in the language of dance. The gorgeous
Dunhuang Dance, the Nishangyuyi Dance of the prosperous
Tang Dynasty are all documented in this program.
This program invites viewers to join in the happy
dances of China's minorities and to feel the heart-shaking
effects of Chinese dance.
