Last Wednesday, eight Chinese dancers, four girls and four boys all between the ages of 18 and 21, danced and perform a 40-minute show in room W203. Some innovative, other classical and all of the dancers were dancing wearing traditional costumes and using props such as sticks, drums or handkerchiefs. “It reminds me of my training in Chinese dance when I was little, and I wish that with dances like this everybody can see the beauty of my homeland China.” Recently there has been a political effort from the government of China to bring Chinese traditional culture to the world.
