A Textbook of Classical Dance, Part 1 (hand wrist, and fingers)

古典舞元素训练_古典舞身韵教材 The easiest guide to follow I have found...and a start for the names... But it is odd that finger-shapes (hastas) are so central - not that that disappoints.That sort of "diction" is not native to "Han" dance, but comes from Indian court and temple dances. Which suggests that "classical" means 4-6 centuries AD: Dunhuang. How refreshing to see so many middle/high school girls working to learn this very demanding parallel to ballet. But again here too, no boys. Must it always be a gender thing?
