Abstract

Dance is an artistic expression that has a holistic impact on a person’s mind, body, and soul (Chen, 2017). Aside from the physical effects and interactions dance has with the body, it also has deeper connections to the artistic expression and self expression. Different cultures tend to have different dance forms, especially those cultural dances that are deeply rooted in their identity as a nation. China is a country with a rich historical background and culture, extensively documented by the artists and academics. As one of the long-standing cultures in the world, China has a long standing tradition of arts through visual, literature, and performing arts. One of the notable performing arts types from China is Chinese Dance. This paper elaborates on the Chinese classical dance for better understanding. In this regard, this section will expand on the historical aspect of the Chinese classical dance in terms of its provenance, roots, and current practices. This report also includes essay, Instagram documentation of planning process, and booklet of lesson plans of ages 3-6, 7-11, and 12 and up.
