Ode to the Beautiful Ladies

Watch on Youtube

This dance piece reenacts the emperor’s harem in Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), where the beautiful ladies socialize with each other and hide their lust for power. Instead of synchronized choreography, CHORD added a taste of individuality among dancers to interpret the dynamic in this story.

Peacocks By The Lake

Watch the recording

Peacock Dance is a signature variation of Dai Dance (ethnic dance originated from Yunnan Province), which is famous for its “peacock-like” moves and the stunning costume. This particular routine paints a lovely picture of the mother & daughter peacocks playing by the lake. The interaction is cute and heart-warming.
