Summary

"A wide range of styles characterizes Chinese dances. This program introduces the fundamentals of Chinese dances and the characteristics of classical and folk dance. It also showcases the gorgeous Dunhuang Dance and the Nishangyuyi Dance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. China's history has been written by its prominent figures, but its cultural history has been recorded in the language of dance."--Publisher's website www.huwadvd.com viewed 1/23/06.
