Dunhuang dance

Dunhuang Dance is a form of Chinese dance which combines traditional culture and modern art. Dunhuang dance draws inspiration from the body movements in the Dunhuang grotto frescoes, and the musical instruments and music scores found in Dunhuang, Gansu province, West China. The dance shows the combination of ethnic dance styles from Central and Western China. The dance, itself, is also influenced by Buddhist images and Buddhism.
