West to East, East to West
05/24/2010 to 05/25/2010
The emergence of western dance forms such as ballet and modern dance in China have greatly impacted the development of Chinese ballet and traditional Chinese dance in China.  Balletic influences such as pointed feet, turn out of the legs, high extension, and ethereal quality can be observed in Chinese ballets and Chinese dances of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.  In recent years, modern dance concepts such as creative self-expression, freedom of movement, floor work, and sense of gravity have also influenced the development of Chinese dance.
