Have you ever seen the Chinese silk ribbon dance performed? The dancers swirl and spin a long silk banner in the air while they leap and turn across the stage, creating images of cascading waterfalls, flying dragons, crashing ocean waves, and flowing rivers.
This class will begin with learning basic Chinese classical and folk dance steps and techniques of manipulating a 'ribbon' held in one hand. Then we will combine them to create short dances that will be both elegant and vigorous.
