What is the name of traditional Thai dance?

Thai people are good at singing and dancing, with beautiful national dances and beautiful music. Accompaniment instruments mainly include drums, gongs, cymbals, boards, flutes, gongs, sheng and other folk instruments. Thai traditional dance can be divided into classical dance and folk dance.

Among them, classical dance is a very complicated and subtle art, and each dance step has a special meaning. It tells a story of Brahmanism with a very tortuous plot.

Classical dance is the essence of Thai dance art and has a history of about 300 years. It originated from the "Kadakali" religious dance in southern India and was influenced by Chinese shadow play. In classical dance, pantomime is especially famous. Classical dance is different from "inside the palace" and "outside the palace". Palace dance is more serious and stuffy, and there is no funny scene. The corresponding dances outside the palace are lively and free, humorous and interesting.

The dress worn by the dancing girl is made of famous Thai silk with glittering gold coins on it. The hats they wear are temple-style pagoda-shaped golden crowns, which are full of religious flavor.

Thai classical dance often appears in religious activities and commemorative ceremonies. During the performance, the performers are completely barefoot, and no matter what they do, they are so slow, rhythmic, elegant and charming. Dancers are good at expressing themselves with their hands and fingers, such as putting their hands on their chests to show their love, pinching their necks with their hands to show their anger, putting their left palms flat on their chests to show their inner joy, and pointing their index fingers to the ground to show their fierceness. There is stillness in the whole dance, and there is movement in the stillness, especially the actress, whose movements convey feelings and eyes are vivid, which contains endless charm.

Thailand's national dances are very colorful and famous for their luxurious costumes, elegant movements and rich connotations. There are "wedding dances" to show wedding customs, "peasant dances" for women to grow rice in fields, "harvest dances" to celebrate the bumper harvest of crops, and "blessing dances". Blessing dance is a kind of mass dance, which usually dances with guests after banquets and parties. During the performance, men and women perform in pairs, swinging their arms, lifting their feet gently and dancing lightly.

Thai dance and eyebrow folk dance are expressive and infectious, and the movements of the actors' fingers can also show many subtle emotional changes. Representative folk dances include interesting mask dance, jade finger flashing fingernail dance, candlelight firefly candlelight dance, sweet Wang Nan dance and so on.

Watching Thai dance is one of the must-see programs when traveling to Thailand. Thai dance with Ramochien as the theme is the most worthy of careful appreciation. The most famous Thai dance is "khon", which is performed by masked male dancers. "Lahong" and "Likai" are two popular branches of "Confucius House", and the difference between them is that performers don't wear masks. You can go to the National Grand Theatre and some hotels with cultural performances.

Shemale Song and Dance: The world-famous "Shemale Song and Dance" performance is the most prominent transgender performance in Thailand, and it is also the most amazing program for many tourists. Those slim and graceful "beauties" are singing and dancing, full of tenderness, which really makes people feel heart-rending. Thailand's shemale performance is famous, unique, mysterious and fascinating. Thailand is the country with the largest number of transsexuals in the world, and it is also the place with the largest number of transsexual operations.

There are basically shemale performance groups in all parts of Thailand, but the largest and most exciting programs are the "Aksa Shemale Performance" and "Tiffany Shemale Performance" in Pattaya, a seaside resort city. The transvestites in these two performance venues are the most beautiful in Thailand. The venue is extremely luxurious, the program is wonderful, and the audience is full almost every day.
