SOUNDBITE (Chinese): LIN CHUN-HSUAN, Dancer from China's Taiwan
"The most attractive part of classical Chinese dance is that it has a unique posture and charm, and it integrates the artistic essence of Chinese culture. The costumes worn in Chinese dance not only add beauty but also aid in expressing the emotions and narratives within the performance. With graceful and fluid movements, each step aims for perfection in beauty. That's why I find Chinese dance incredibly charming.
Chinese dance is an integral part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage. Teaching this art form allows me to deeply connect with the profound essence of Chinese culture. I hope to try my best to pass on the knowledge I have acquired to the students. At the same time, I will continue to learn, and try to better inherit the Chinese culture through integration and innovation."
