The Development of Dai Dance

Dai dance is a reflection of the ancient and complicated Dai culture. Until the eve of the founding of New China, the Dai people still retained very rich folk dance resources. In recent years, more than 20 kinds of Dai folk dances have been collected through comprehensive and extensive investigations by relevant departments. In the inheritance of Dai folk traditional culture, Dai dance expresses culture and folk psychology in a unique way, which is directly passed down from person to person.
