Description
The Chinese Ribbon Dance is a traditional dance that has been performed for more than a 1000 years. The Chinese legend has it that Emperor Tang who ruled China from 713-755 AD had a dream that he was in the moon palace with many fairies singing and dancing who were wearing beautiful multicolored long robes. His dream was turned into a dance with the dancers using long silk ribbons. Each year the Ribbon Dance is performed at New Year celebrations and harvest festivals.
