Witness their extraordinary talent as NTD and its sister media, The Epoch Times, livestream the semifinals, finals, and awards ceremony on NTD’s global television network, the NTD and The Epoch Times websites, and their social media platforms. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch this captivating event live on the new digital platform Gan Jing World.
NTD’s classical Chinese dance competition is part of a series of international cultural and arts events aimed at promoting traditional culture. Unfortunately, in China, this rich heritage has been nearly eradicated by the Chinese Communist Party over the past several decades.
Classical Chinese dance training encompasses three main components: bearing, form, and techniques. This expressive dance form is deeply rooted in 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and is considered one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world.
NTD’s classical Chinese dance competition aims to usher in a new era for this ancient art form by fostering cultural exchange and bringing global recognition to this purely authentic traditional dance that embodies purity, goodness, and beauty.
Discover the forgotten ancient techniques of classical Chinese dance, such as “shen dai shou” (the body leads the hands) and “kua dai tui” (the hips lead the legs), which have been reintroduced to the world by the founder and artistic director of Shen Yun Performing Arts, Mr. D.F. Be captivated as these techniques are brought to life on stage, offering a glimpse into the highest realm of classical Chinese dance.
Join us for the second part of the semifinals on this page at 1:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 9.
