Shanghai lion DanceOriginated from Ma Qiao Xiang, Shanghai, a type of lion dance that is performed to celebrate their local holiday. I learned this for 5 years. In 2017, I had the chance to perform this during an event at the Palace of Fine Arts

WATER SLEEVE DANCEThe water sleeve dance is when the dress has two long sleeves up to 5 feets long. Like water, it flows in the air when there is movement. In 2017, I performed the song "Three Thousand Peach Blossoms."

Art expressionsThere are many dances I have learned are expressions of Chinese culture. The one in blue robes is about the attitudes on traditional values. The one in white and red is about Chinese paper cutting, where it is showing the liveliness of this form of art.
