Gold Winner Sunni Zhou Shares What Makes Classical Chinese Dance Different from Other Dance

Through studying classical Chinese dance, Shen Yun Dancer Sunni Zhou not only saw improvements in her dance techniques, but also a change in herself. Zhou says a dancer’s inner state is crucial to her performance, and that: “classical Chinese dance is different from other dances because it needs to express the dancer’s inner beauty. And such beauty is not something that can be achieved just by practicing movements daily. You really have to search for it in your heart so when you dance, you can actually express that inner beauty to the audience.” She won the Gold Award in the Adult Female Division at NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition. www.shenyun.com #ntddancecompetition #whatisshenyun #shenyun
