Features: When it comes to Dai ethnic dance, people naturally think of the "Peacock Dance," because from Mao Xiang and Dao Meilan to Yang Liping, they have all left us with the image of graceful and vividly posed "peacocks." Although the "Peacock Dance" is not the entirety of Dai ethnic dance, the "Elephant Leg Drum Dance" and the "Peacock Dance" are indeed representative and symbolic of Dai music and dance. This book explains the unique rhythm of Dai dance, including percussion instruments and musical scores, and contains a brief introduction to the history, religion, and folklore of the Dai ethnic group, analyzing their influence on dance from a scientific perspective. It is a highly valuable and specialized dance textbook.
