Classical Chinese Dance

Classical Chinese dance is the epitome of China’s traditional aesthetics. For thousands of years, it was passed down among the people, in imperial courts, and through ancient plays. It was continually refined, eventually developing into one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world. Still largely unfamiliar to the West, classical Chinese dance has incredible expressive power. Both emotive and energetic, it transcends barriers of nationality and language. It is the perfect medium for sharing the wisdom and values of five millennia of Chinese civilization.
