In original ethnic dances, more than 90% dancers are farmers. They don't dance as part of a performance; instead, dance is a ritual about life, their children or sacrifice. Their vivid expression evokes audiences’ applause and cheering. Mr. Pan Zhi-tao and Ms. Dao Mei-lan, two famous dancers, said that, those original ethnic dances really impressed them a lot and it is the spirit of dance.
