Yingge dance makes new moves and new waves

03:17

Taoyuan Yingge dance is renowned for its martial arts moves – leaps, turns and jumps all contribute to its charm. Little wonder then that training a dance performer is an involved matter, taking at least a year. What's more, continuous practice is needed to achieve coordination with other troupe members. So maintaining a talent pool for Yingge dancers is not easy, especially when so many performers have to leave their hometowns for reasons of work and study. That's why He Murong, a septuagenarian Yingge dance inheritor, has decided to partner with young animator Zhu Xiaopeng to create an animated film based on Yingge dance. Could his innovative approach help Yingge dance reach out to a new generation?
