Johnny Pearson, Ted Roumbanis ?– Chinese Ribbon Dance Record Of Instruction
----------------------------------------------
FYI
The ribbon dance is called Cai Dai Wu Dao. This dance features dancers whirling long strips of silk through the air. It originated during the Han Dynasty. The story behind the dance is a man saved the Han Dynasty emperor from an assassination attempt. He blocked the sword using the silk from his sleeve.
It was traditionally performed for royalty. Large, flowy movement were accompanied by slow music. Sharp movements that made the ribbon flick and snap were done to faster music. The ribbons that were used could be any color but red was more preferred.
Chinese Ribbon Dance is one of the most famous traditional Chinese dances. The Chinese ribbon dance is a performance that features dancers using sharp, rhythmic movements and long colourful ribbons. The silk ribbons are attached to short, varnished sticks, and as the dancer manipulates the silk, they will also perform specific steps and leaps. The ribbons and choreography are precisely synchronized so that the ribbons form patterns and designs in the air that are captivating to all who watch a performance. The history of the Chinese Ribbon Dance goes back thousands of years. Chinese Ribbon Dance originated during the “Han Dynasty” and reached its peak in the "Tang dynasty". The ribbon dance was performed only for the royal people. Today, Chinese Ribbon dance has its popularity among the common people for its beauty and grace. The Chinese Ribbon Dance is known as "Cai Dai Wu Dao" in Chinese culture. It is performed in almost all the cultural festivals of China.
The ribbon sets for this dance are made up of two parts: silk or satin ribbons and wood or plastic handles. The ribbons used in the dance can be of any colour, but there is a strong preference for red ribbons. Red is traditionally the colour of happiness and luck in Chinese culture. Once you have you ribbons, you’re ready to learn your dance.
Listening to the beat of the music is the most important part of ribbon dancing’s art. All twirls and tosses should be synchronized with the main rhythm of the song, and in traditional Chinese music you will usually find a very distinct melody to follow. In general, large and flowing movements are ideal with slow music, so your ribbon will “float” above your body. Sharp and quick movements will give the look of fluttering and flapping that will bring an equal amount of beauty to your dance. Again, allow the music to dictate your motions and expressions. To stay authentic and professional-looking, be mindful of your ribbon at all times. Keep it off of the floor and watch out for knots as you dance. Practice many times before your performance, this is especially true if performing as a large group.
