In the West we are familiar with ballets like Swan Lake. But theres another classical dance form 1 a long history which has only recently burst onto the world scene. It is called classical Chinese dance.

In 2005, however, a performing arts company 6

(tradition) culture, and this included 8 (present) classical Chinese dance in its purest form. Not quite a decade later, classical Chinese dance has become much 9 (well) recognized and is starting to influence western ballet.
