Lusheng Dance is a traditional folk dance favored by ethnic minorities like the Miao, Dong and Yi. This unique folk dance is performed during nearly every celebration in their villages. If you travel to Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, you will be not difficult to see this kind of dance in the ethnic minority villages.

Lusheng dance originated from ancient rituals, such as praying for a good harvest before sowing season, or giving thanks to gods after a good harvest. It is danced to different songs, each with a different meaning and played in different situations.

But nowadays, this kind of dance is performed in a merry mood. During a festival, groups of highly-skilled Lusheng dancers from all villages get together to showcase their individual styles. And high Lusheng poles are erected, with dancing teams' flags flying at the top. There are people solely responsible for instrument accompaniment.

Young men holding a small lusheng (a reed-pipe wind instrument) and beautifully dressed young women are standing in two concentric circles(concentric circles or rings have the same centre) and dancing anticlockwise(in the direction opposite to the rotation of the hands of a clock). While playing the Lusheng, a kind of reed-pipe wind instrument, they dance in this complicated patterns, and sing to each other. The lively dance is also the best chance for young men and women to seek a romance partner.
