What is Han and Tang Dance?

Han-Tang dance is one of the four schools of classical dance in China, and it is a school of classical dance in China based on the cultural tradition of music and dance represented by Han-Tang. Many movements are based on historical records such as documents, ancient books, cultural relics and murals.

The Han and Tang dances you saw today have not been handed down from ancient times to the present, thanks to Professor Sun Ying of Beijing Dance Academy. From the early 1950s to the end of the 20th century, Professor Sun Ying devoted himself to nearly half a century's research and decades' practical exploration. With his profound historical and cultural knowledge and unique artistic spirituality, he carried out frequent creative practice activities, and finally reappeared the music and dance style of Han and Tang Dynasties. Momo, a dancer who participated in this performance, is a former Hong Kong Dance Company. During my stay in the troupe, I participated in many original dance dramas by Professor Sun Ying.
