Let’s journey together into the world of the poetry of dance and art.

普米族舞蹈
普米族的音乐与舞蹈有密切联系，普米族诗歌几乎没有不用于演唱的，民歌演唱则大多伴有舞蹈：连臂踏歌，牵手而舞。普米族人在“打跳歌”中唱道：“笛声不停莫歇脚，舞场上没有陡岩子，脚底板下没有刺，跳它个地动山也摇”。
Pumi Dancing
The dance of the Pumi has a close relation with the music. It could be said that, all Pumi poems can be sung, and all folk songs of the Pumi people go with dances so that the people sing and dance at the same time. As the song Datiaoge goes “never stop dancing unless the whistling stops, there is no cliff in the dance hall, there is no prick under your feet, let’s dance crazily to shock the whole world”.

塔吉克族舞蹈
塔吉克族舞蹈以模拟雄鹰为特色。舞蹈以各种技巧表现雄鹰的起落、盘旋、追逐、捕猎以及扶摇直上的气势与姿态，伴之以塔吉克族特有的乐器“纳依”（一种用鹰骨制成的短笛），舞乐相偕，充满了浓郁的西域风情。
Tajik Dancing
The main feature of the Tajik dance lies in the imitation of the eagle. Various dancing skills are used to express how the eagles fly up and down, circling in the sky, hunting, and embody the imposing postures of eagles swooping steeply down. A special Tajik instrument the “Nayi” (a piccolo made from eagle bone) has been adopted to accompany the dancing. The dance and music embrace the bold style of the western region.

白族舞蹈
白族民间舞蹈有七十多种，最具代表性的是“霸王鞭舞”。霸王鞭轻巧灵活，舞动时发出清脆的声响，由此产生舞蹈的节律与美感，深受白族女子喜爱。“霸王鞭舞”与“仗鼓舞”、“花灯舞”合称为白族的三朵艺术奇葩。
Bai Dancing
There are more than 70 dances of the Bai ethnic group, with the most representative one called “King’s Whip Dance”. The king’s whip is flexible and agile. The dancers glide to the dance rhythm all the while waving their arms in a beautiful flowing motion that is much loved by the girls of Bai. The “King’s Whip Dance” together with the “Zhang Drum Dance” and the “Festival Lantern Dance” are called 3 master pieces of art of the Bai people.

水族舞蹈

Hani Dancing
The folk dancing of the Hani people has a very long history.
