What if every movement could tell a story?

Classical Chinese dance is so much more than just flips, jumps, and techniques.  There’s 5,000 years of history behind every expression, and even the smallest gesture has a story to tell.

Swipe to see what makes this art form so unique.

Happy National Dance Day!

Some see a face in the moon. In Chinese legend, it's a rabbit with a mortar and pestle.

He is grinding herbs into an elixir of immortality, up in the Moon Palace, where he keeps the goddess Chang'e company. Cute and fluffy and white, and not an ordinary bunny at all.

In one Chinese telling of how he got there, the rabbit was tested by a starving stranger who asked him for food. The monkey had fruit to offer. The otter had fish. The rabbit could find nothing but grass, and so he offered himself instead.

This retelling of a classic legend depicts the origins of the moon goddess Chang’E.

Her husband Hou Yi is an archer of admirable skill, and together the couple lives peacefully.

But soon, a group of fairies accidentally brings the attention of a wicked red dragon to their village.

In a pavilion of flowers, maidens wearing long “water sleeves” dance beneath a soft light’s golden rays.

This piece is set in the Sui Dynasty (581–618), though the use of silky water sleeves dates back at least a thousand years earlier.

Atop the Himalayas sits the grand profile of Lhasa’s Potala Palace. Beneath its gaze, Tibetan men dance to a catchy song.

They form a line, admiring the view from the steppes. Together, they jump and leap, twirling their sleeves in celebration.

The idea of spiritual elevation has long been an important aspect of traditional Chinese culture.

And yet, in today’s China, people practicing Falun Dafa meditation one day, find themselves facing persecution the next.

What happens when holding a banner that says: “Falun Dafa is Good,” is considered a crime?
