Chinese traditional dance reminds me a lot of modern interpretive dance mixed with martial arts. Here are a few great videos I found on YouTube of some gorgeously choreographed Chinese traditional dances accompanied by lovely music.
TAO YAO - Starts out with scary makeup and exaggerated smiles, but once the camera zooms out, you’re treated to a flowingly elegant performance.
TA GE - The performers sing a catchy tune while they sway in rhythm.
CHU YAO - Kind of a weird bird-like dance but the performers are highly skilled with crisp and expertly controlled movements.
LIANG ZHU (BUTTERFLY LOVERS) - Fusion of Chinese traditonal dance, acrobatics, and ballet on steroids performed to the modern Chinese orchestral masterpiece Butterfly Lovers. You won’t believe what the main female dancer tip toes on at the end!
TAI JI - Otherwise known as Tai Chi, this showcases some breathtaking martial arts with traditional dance and acrobatics. Pay special attention to the guy who lands on the leg he kicks with! So awesome!
