Beauty. Energy. Adventure. Thrilling leaps and delicate, floating spins. Classical Chinese dance has it all. How is an art form that’s thousands of years old still so amazing and fun to watch? The secret is its roots in the divinely-inspired culture of ancient China. CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS ROOTS Did you know that Classical Chinese dance is closely linked to Chinese martial arts? It’s true! During grand celebrations, generals would perform in front of the emperor. The same moves they used on the battlefield, such as athletic flips and kicks, became part of classical Chinese dance. ONE-OF-A-KIND STORYTELLING But what really makes classical Chinese dance special is the “bearing” or “yun” of the dancers. Yun is deeply connected to the dancer’s breathing and state of mind. It uniquely reflects a performer’s personality. This leads to incredibly expressive storytelling through dance. That means dancers can bring the ancient legends of China to life right in front of your eyes. And you can feel the difference. “This is the finest event I’ve ever been to in my life,” said producer Jim Crill. “The human spirit, the dignity, the power, the love coming out of those people was astounding!” www.shenyunperformingarts.org
