If you are a dance lover, now may be a good time to start thinking about New Tang Dynasty 2nd International Chinese Classical Dance Competition, which will run from August 22-24, 2008 at New York City’s Town Hall Foundation, located on 123 West 43rd St.

Sometimes words are simply not enough to express the depth and beauty of Chinese culture, and that’s when we must turn to a different kind of language – the performing arts. Chinese classical dance, in particular, is an art form that brings alive many folk tales, legends and traditions of China. It takes you to a rich, unique, colorful and enjoyable world of the Middle Kingdom. Come and enjoy the dance competition, which will open your eyes and mind!

In addition, NTDTV is delighted to bring DIVINE PERFORMING ARTS (DPA), the world’s premier Chinese dance and music company, to Manhattan Center, NY, on Sunday, August 24. Inspired by the rich spirit of Chinese culture, DPA brings to life classical Chinese dance and music in a gloriously colorful and exhilarating show. Based on ancient heroic legends and modern courageous tales, the charm of Divine Performing Arts is not to be missed!
