DANCE

Chinese dance has a long history of thousands of years. It is an art form based on the deep foundations of traditional aesthetics and has rich expressive power. It is characterized by delicacy, grace and is a unique artistic expression. Dance in China appears to have developed out of religious ceremonies and has a long association with theater and martial arts. Most traditional dance forms survive in Chinese opera. 

At the Confucius Institute we are pleased to offer Chinese dance lessons to anyone interested, thus making this expression of Chinese culture accessible to all.
