Chinese Dancers |

| Dancers perform in Beijing, China. The complex choreography requires mastery of many hand gestures and facial expressions in addition to rhythmic dance steps. The hand gestures illustrate the influence of Buddhism, in which they represent abstract symbols that aid meditation. An ancient art form, dance has been a part of China’s artistic heritage for thousands of years. | ||||||
