Chinese Water Sleeve Dancers

Inspired by the 'Water Sleeve' dancing from the Tang Dynasty (608 - 907AD), the sleeves of the costume are extended beyond the hands, flourished as part of the dance and to accentuate the movement of the arms.

‘Sensational Stilt Walking’ has put this ancient and beautiful dance on stilts. Two stilt dancers perform a choreographed 'water sleeves' routine periodically throughout their 45 min roving appearance. This act is truly unique and would be a stunning addition to your event.
