Do folk dances have different styles due to regional differences?

China is a multi-ethnic country, and the dance of each ethnic group has its own distinctive features.

Folk dances have different styles and regional differences. For example, the Yangko in the north is simple and vigorous, and the lanterns in the south dance gracefully. The dances of ethnic minorities are even more varied. Mongolian dance is rough and powerful, and Tibetan dance stretches smoothly.

Yangge originated from transplanting rice seedlings and ploughing fields. Popular all over the country. In some areas, folk dance forms such as flower drums, tea-picking lanterns, dry boats and running bamboo horses are all called yangko. Small field is a large-scale group dance with changing formation as the opening and ending, interspersed with dances or musicals performed by two or three people. Dancers dress up as various figures and dance with fans, handkerchiefs, colored silk, umbrellas and other props. They have certain skills and are very popular folk dances on festivals and festive days. Among them, North Shaanxi Yangko, Northeast Yangko, Shandong Jiaozhou Yangko, and Millet Yangko have very distinctive styles.

In Mongolian folk dance, one person should lead the singing, while others are singing and dancing in the back. Generally, it starts with adagio, with melodious tunes and bold movements.

String dance, a Tibetan folk dance, is popular in Changdu, Tibet and Tibetan areas in Sichuan and Yunnan, and is famous for its beauty, fluency and lyricism. When dancing, they form a circle and shake their long sleeves with their hands. A person plays a beautiful tune with Heizi (a musical instrument similar to Jinghu), and everyone dances while singing. Every song has different steps.
