Chinese Dance Workshops

 

Experience the beauty and grace of the Chinese dance workshops

 

Jin Cheng Dance Arts would like to bring our unique collection Chinese Dance Workshops to your school. Just like the Chinese language, dance has its own unique vocabulary, semantics, and syntactic structure that enable a dancer to fully express their thoughts and feelings with ease and grace. With more than fifty ethnic groups adding their own unique flavour, Chinese dance has evolved over five thousand years where many of the dances were confined to the villages in which they originated. Participants will learn these and other fascinating facts about Chinese culture as they explore this fully interactive workshop. By the end of the session, they will understand how traditional dances were linked with both religion and the everyday experiences and events of the time.

 

The aims of the Dance Workshop

 

  • To highlight the beauty, promote interaction and gain an understanding of Chinese culture, dance and music

  • A fun and entertaining way for students of other cultures to experience Chinese dance

  • To help a new generation of Australia-born Chinese and new Asian immigrants to showcase their talents and maintain their culture

Teamwork, manual dexterity, intricate choreography and extravagant gestures and poses all come together in the lively Chinese handkerchief dance.

Not only will participants experience a lively, fun workout, they will also get a valuable taster about life and art in the exotic Far East.
