The basic dance form of Dai dance is "three bends", which mainly imitates the peacock's shape, that is, the bend formed between the head, ribs, hip roots, knees and lines.
Peacock dance is one of the most popular dances of Dai people.
Peacock is an auspicious symbol and an important national symbol of Dai people. Most of the peacock dance we see today are adapted and created by dance artists, but the traditional "peacock dance" has extremely strict standards. Only men can jump. Dancers will wear masks and pagodas, and perform peacock's actions such as walking, flying, opening the screen and splashing water according to strict procedures and dance steps. The dance is vigorous and full of primitive vitality.
Dai dance is soft as water and tall and straight as bamboo, which is the crystallization of the artistic wisdom of the Dai people in China. I believe that if you master the basic rhythm, hand position and pace, you can also enter this dance form and this "water-like nation".
