Most ethnic minorities are generalists. Why can't Han people dance?

Not because Han people can't dance, but because there are different kinds of dances. People are good at dancing because of the colorful life of ethnic minorities. It cannot be said that Han people can't dance, but some people are not good at it. Each of the 56 ethnic groups has its own characteristics, which makes us a big family in China.

Most Han people don't know their own traditional dances, but in fact these dances are all ours. Han dance, as its name implies, is a traditional dance of the Han nationality in China and a model of the national dance in China.

Han dance has a long history and a wide variety. Even the same kind of songs and dances will have their own characteristics and unique charm in style, dress and expression because of different regions. However, due to historical reasons, the original appearance of many Han dances has been lost. At present, the classical dances in Han and Tang dynasties are divided into dance circles, such as stepping songs and harmony, and Han folk dances, such as Shandong Yangko, Jiaozhou Yangko, Yunnan Lantern and Anhui Flower Drum Lantern.

Our common Uygur dances mainly have six styles: Duolang, Sainaim and Banwu.

There are four forms of Tibetan dance: heap harmony, fruit harmony and harmony dance.

Living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they are used to having loose upper bodies and leaning forward slightly. When dancing, the knee has a continuous, small and rapid center of gravity movement formed by trembling or flexion and extension, which drives the relaxed upper limbs to move and makes the arm movements move accordingly. Whether shaking or flexion and extension, the knees are required to be relaxed, flexible and elastic, and the movements of the upper body must not have the slightest initiative.
