Chinese dance has a long and profound history. Classical dance, in particular, is highly representative, embodying Eastern aesthetics and integrating movements and forms from martial arts and Chinese opera. It balances strength and grace, making it an essential classic for learning Chinese dance. One effective method to learn classical dance is through studying repertoire pieces to train various aspects of body rhythm, dance sense, and technique. In response, Ieng Chi Dance Garden introduces the 'Chinese Dance Repertoire Course,' focusing on learning selected dance pieces to train students' body rhythm, movement methods, and techniques.
Classical dance places special emphasis on the role of the eyes in performance, the coordination of breathing, and is rich in rhythm and form. Its unique Eastern blend of strength and softness is captivating. Chinese classical dance primarily consists of body rhythm (身韻), movement methods (身法), and technique. Body rhythm is the essence of Chinese classical dance; the flavor of each dance is unique, and even two people performing the same movements will have different nuances. Movement methods refer to dance postures and actions. Rooted in the fertile soil of traditional Chinese culture, classical dance strongly emphasizes the body rhythm principle of 'unifying form and spirit, integrating body and mind, harmonizing internal and external.' Spirit and rhythm are the soul of Chinese classical dance.
