Flower Drum Dance

The Flower-drum Dance is popular in the area of Bengbu City and Huainan City along the Huai River. It integrates folk arts, such as dancing, singing, gong and drum playing, and playlets together, and is famous for its vivid rhythms, passionate atmosphere, elegant poses, fine performances, and artistic charm.

The Flower-drum Dance is very popular with audiences. During the time of traditional festivals, temple fairs, slack seasons in farming, or plenteous harvest times, people will dress up, lighting up lanterns, beating the gongs and drums, festively dancing and singing. When many performance teams meet together for joint celebration, a grand occasion will take place. Following China's open policies, the Flower-drum Dance has been promoted and glorified; now it has become a splendid “oriental ballet” in world art circles.
