SUMMARY:The Elegance and Style of Chinese Classical Dance: Introduction to Liyuan Dance with Kaili Chen
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an immersive dance workshop exploring the elegance and enduring style of Chinese Classical Dance\, taught by choreographer Kaili Chen\, founder and director of Li Garden Dance Company and a current SNEAP Mentor. \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn fundamental elements of Chinese classical dance\, including expressive hand gestures\, focused eye work and facial expression\, refined walking patterns\, and short movement combinations that highlight rhythm and flow. The session also introduces the historical background and distinctive aesthetics of Liyuan Dance\, a classical form rooted in Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE) court traditions. \nParticipants will also explore creativity through traditional face painting\, designing their own classical-inspired makeup details such as the mei xin (forehead ornament) and dimples. The workshop includes hands-on experience wearing Han-style costumes and using flowing silk scarves (pibo) to embody grace and everyday etiquette. \nBlending movement\, history\, fashion\, and self-expression\, this workshop invites participants to experience Chinese classical dance as both an art form and a way of life. \nWorkshop choreography is geared towards female participants ages 8 and up. Please wear a fitted top and pants. Light-colored socks required. \nArtist Bio: \nKaili Chen is the founder and director of Li Garden Dance Company\, a nonprofit organization established in 2017 in Stamford\, Connecticut. Dedicated to preserving and sharing traditional Chinese culture. \nOriginally from Taiwan\, she was a principal dancer and rehearsal director with the renowned Han-Tang Yuefu Music and Dance Ensemble in Taipei for over 30 years and trained extensively in Liyuan Classical Dance\, a court dance tradition originating in the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE)\, and studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple. Her work has been presented at major international venues including Lincoln Center Theater\, The Joyce Theater\, Théâtre de la Ville and Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris\, and the Palace Museum in Beijing\, as well as festivals such as Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. \nTICKETS \n$20 General Admission\n$15 Members\nFree for Members 150+\nCost covers all materials. \nGET TICKETS\nThis program is generously supported by the Auerbach Schiro Foundation.
