Chinese & American Dancing China & America both are have interesting thoughts on dancing. They also have different views on dancing. When you read this and find the similarities and differences on Chinese and American dancing. As you’ll read you will find the different types of dancing in both cultures.

Chinese dancing is about culture. When dancing started in 860 B.C the two types of dancing were civilian and military. In civilian dancing they would dance for a good hunt or fish. Civilian dancers wore feathers and danced in smaller group. Military dancers would dance with weapons and danced in a larger group. Now dancing in China is based on personality and beauty. Still like before they dance in groups. Chinese were long dresses usually made from silk. Most Chinese people who dance are female but some are male.

In America we think of dancing a hobby. When you think of dancing you probably think of ballet, modern, tap, hip-hop, there is lots more. But those are the main dancing. Americans were different outfits for different styles of dancing. In ballet they wear longer dresses, in modern there wear about the same, but in hip-hop they’d wear baggy pants and tennis shoes.

In both countries dancing is a big part of their life style. In fact Chinese square dances they got it from the U.S. We also have ballet in common, also modern. We both dance for festivals and celebrations.

Both countries differ & have simulates in dancing. If you’d ever go to China and want to dance you should start in either ballet or modern. And if you’re in the us and want to dance than you should start in ballet, modern or tap. Have fun dancing!
