Sometimes words are simply not enough to express the depth and beauty of Chinese Culture, and that's when we must turn to a different kind of language - the language of the body through performing arts. Classical Chinese dance is an art form that brings alive the folk tales, legends and myths of China. It transports you across time and space to the rich and colorful world of the Middle Kingdom.
