The Colour of Dances

Access

About

We live in a vivid, colourful world. And In the eyes of our dancers, each dance has its colour and meaning. The Vancouver We Dance Association of Canada brings a brand-new production, the Colour of Dances, that highlights different aspects of Chinese culture through visually stunning storytelling, choreography, and beautiful costumes.

The Colour of Dances consists of six components and each part is presented in different colours: Red, Green, Blue, Pink, White, and Orange. Red and Green, those two dances bring to life the spirit of ancient China. Blue is a contemporary dance to express people's feelings, and Pink has two dances blessing the motherland for its prosperity.

To all of us who love ancient Chinese culture, dance and music, be prepared to enjoy some classic Chinese music and songs as well. We assign them to White and Orange colours.
