China Classical Dance: It is a young dance with a history of less than 100 years! It and ancient dance are two concepts, ancient dance is lost, close to the Han and Tang dance department! They are preserved from pottery murals! China classical dance is a dance refined by modern predecessors according to China traditional opera and martial arts! The basic skills of actors are very demanding, and the body rhyme is also very important. Watch out for a lap!
As for the national wind China dance you mentioned, I always think it is a modern dance (modern dance is definitely not the street dance now), and it can only be said that it is a modern dance with China classical colors and themes! Modern dance does not stick to the form and fixed skills, but pays more attention to the feelings and artistic conception of the actors themselves! Because of your Chinese style, you want actors to show it through style, clothing and some subtle movements. This is modern dance!
China classical dance is the most famous major of Beijing Dance Academy!
Your teacher's statement is right! If you sign up for the play, you will sign up for the classical dance! This is more in line with the theme and will not mislead the audience!
