One of the greatest things about living in a multicultural city like Vancouver is the chance to experience everything those different cultures bring to the city.

I have so many images of dancers that I decided to just select the wide variety of Chinese dances I have seen.

These were mostly taken down on Granville Island during a variety of free Performance Works shows. The costumes are amazing!
Chinese New Year is also a great place to see a variety Chinese dances. This sword dance is based on martial arts.
The Chinese New Year dragon dance acrobatics. Here the dragon dancers gather in preparation…
and then they jump on each others shoulders and swirl around.Another version of the fan dance.
