In Chinese classical dancing, the elegance of the art form is created by the use of the torso – fingers, wrists, eyes, neck, arms, spine - with the hands making specific gestures to tell a story. In this virtual class, you will learn a short dance sequence that will transport you to China’s classical age.

The workshop is free/pay-as-you wish. All ages and abilities are welcome; no previous dance experience required so don’t be shy – come dance with us!
