Tips

culture

Chinese 民间舞 covers a vast range — Han classical 秧歌 (yāngge), Mongolian saddle dances, Tibetan 锅庄, Uyghur Sanam, Dai peacock dance — and is a core subject in Chinese dance academies. Distinguished from 民族舞 (mínzúwǔ, 'ethnic dance') which is the broader category, and 古典舞 (classical dance).
