Learn Classical Chinese Dance

An extraordinary five-millennium-old dance system, is poised to grow into the world’s leading art form. Virtually no other style can match the strong expressive qualities and diversity of technique found in classical Chinese dance. It is an altogether unique dance heritage and has its own complete set of training methods in foundational skills, a strict regimen for perfecting bearing and form, and a unique means of training for skill sets such as jumps, turns and flips, as well as extremely demanding aerial techniques.

Classical Chinese Dance is a unique dance heritage. In its early stages it was mainly passed down among the common people, through members of the imperial court, and as part of ancient theater. Over the years, dancers refined, experimented with, and reworked it to arrive at the extraordinary system of Chinese classical dance known today. It is part of the divinely inspired heritage that is China's five-millennia-old culture, and one means by which that culture lives on.

Classical Chinese dance has as its foundation China's divinely inspired culture of five thousand years. The unique art of Chinese dance that we know today, with its impressive scale and system is the product of generations of dancers' many years of artistic experience combined with their refining, reorganizing, and reworking of the art form.

Classical Chinese dance has its own complete set of training methods in foundational skills, a strict regimen for perfecting bearing and form, and means of training for skill sets such as jumps, turns, and flips, as well as extremely demanding aerial techniques, culminating in an enormous dance system. The aerial movements of classical Chinese dance contain a wealth of high-flying dives, dexterous leaps, and diverse spins.

It is the deeper resonances of traditional Chinese culture, however, that imbue a dancer's movements with such rich expressive power. The dancer is thus capable of not only portraying a given figure's disposition or mood, but even the vivid expressions unique to a certain age, whatever the land or time.
