Traditional Tibetan dance gains fans in Chengdu

CHENGDU — At a public square in Chengdu, a bustling city of over 20 million people in southwestern China, 24-year-old Tibetan dancer Yanggyi prepared for her performance, adjusting her traditional attire and her hair.

As the tune of a Tibetan love song permeated the night air, she entered the dance floor, initiating a vibrant Guozhuang dance party.

Guozhuang, which means singing and dancing in a circle, is a traditional Tibetan dance. During their leisure time, Tibetans of all ages often gather in circles, gracefully dancing to the rhythmic beats.
