杨丽萍《孔雀舞》--peacock dance

[forloveC]

in my mind...she is the best dancer in china....

[peterroque1]

impresionante--fantastico

[compier1]

That really took my mind to a different place... How artful

[bbhung36]

Very very good dance and show!!!!

[joex0856]

很好。

[SHINWAICHI]

she loves her dancing and that is what makes this beautiful!!

[sheltondk43]

Mesmerizing.

[Valerius2316]

this dance was performed in my dance appreciation class by....this woman

[createallow3126]

Brilliant cutting edge artist. 

[msstupidturtle]

So proud that this beautiful art is a part of my culture. I really admire Ms.Yang for her dedication to dancing!

[Jadespeakschinese]

Oh it's just so amazing. The fluid movements I would love to see this live! From an accepting American who loves true art <3

[yosoccerboy]

This isn't a type of dance society usually accepts.

This is weird.

This is inhuman.

This is a transformation.

This is the soul.

This isn't a dance any more.

This is unexplainable.

[angelicwrath032]

What makes this dance even more outstanding is that the girl is deaf. She can't hear the music, but she does so well.

[lightronger]

@angelicwrath032 I think you're confusing her with Tao Liyuan. Yang Liping is the original dancer and the choreographer for this song. She can hear perfectly fine.

[angelicwrath032]

@lightronger Sorry. My Bad :(

[jusmin2011]

WONDERFUL .AMAIZING DANCE . I LOVE IT .

AWSOME MUSIC .

[HalanDinh]

What is the name of the song? It's typical Chinese. Nice dance, nice music.

[angelicwrath032]

@HalanDinh It's Pastorale by Secret Garden.

[cateyemarble]

So beautiful and magical. She is so expressive with her arms and hands that I could see the peacock. Absolutely awed!!

[Susana1027]

4:45 and forward - try spinning with your head back. It's extremely difficult!

[iampeeay01]

A graceful dancer like Yang Liping is absolutely astounding. A world class performance, i love the way she projects her hands.

[aweesomemusicftw]

wow. her arms are practically triple jointed!! :O great job (:

[BFFblaze]

Her dress is pretty

[NewKiller101]

you could perfectly see that she puts her heart into this. She dances so gracefully that every movement she does is very smooth

[starutian]

i am moved. she is yang liping, form yunnan, china!!! graet dancer!

[KOCHKA1000]

great video 

[DeportesBellas]

This is so stunning. Absolutely beautiful. <3

[DrinkingStar]

Is This Yang Li-ping? It looks like her...Magnificent dance performance

[Rapprochement123]

Such a touchingly beautiful dance! 

[clairpon]

我真的看到孔雀了...

[kIsulOvu]

wow,how can she do that :x very suprise

[SJ0319]

This dance is really boring... She is just moving her hand and there isn't anything that stands out in this dance

And I don't get y the audience were clapping randomly

[KensaiZen]

@SJ0319 you've obviousely never seen a peacock dance nor do you know anything about dancing. She captures the essence of it very well actually. Also, audiences usually clap in appreciation of certain moves and the difficulty or beauty of it.

[swalewidget]

@KensaiZen of course i don't know.. mhm... i started dancing since i wuz 5, gosh

[KensaiZen]

@swalewidget and that means what? your 10 now? if your the same person who wrote that rather ignorant statement then you obviously cannot appreciate how she captures the essence of the peacock in her dance. Or how she has taken a traditional Dai dance and turned it into something even more beautiful. what did you expect from her? half way through she were to break dance to excite you? lol let me guess, your an American.

[KirahDances]

@KensaiZen im american and i thought it was beautiful :p

[AUDREYoftheISLEofELY]

@SJ0319 This obviously is NOT Michael Jackson style of entertainment but if you understand dance moves you'll see that it's very poetic in it's movement. Her movements translate perfectly what she's trying to convey in this dance piece.

[Iciebleu]

@SJ0319 As a dancer myself, you don't know how beautiful that takes. She spent years and years developing her hands to perform the grace of the peacock. The muscle control and the timing are flawless.

[gibehemoth]

I think "the spirit of a peacock" is one of the most difficult dance.

But she did a good performent.

Her movement is amazing, fantastic.

But her dress reminded me a strain of fish: shiver blue grass guppy, not a peacock.

[OneWhiteSeed]

The design of the dress is traditional for the peacock dance, though the colors often vary. If the aim was to be as realistic as possible, she'd have to wear peacock feathers or something.

[bestprayer]

我讨厌那些突然的掌声。。。。

[DeseraeFOA]

What's the name of the music she's dancing to?

[Liliyanne]

what instrument is the background music? flute?

[tayounorise]

This is breathtaking beautiful to me (*_*) She is a dream with the music and the dress and the choreography and the spirit.................simply breathtaking awsome!

Thank you for sharing!

*bow*

[Anson156]

好美! 很令人感動的舞!

[lilylessons]

Who want to learn Chinese with me?

[sxiangmiro]

whats the song name :|

[shuanghkkk]

Everytime I watched the video I am so impressed by Ms yang. She conducts successfully the spirit of the peacock. There is a small pity in this video that, it is not the orinigal music Yang used.

[flying011401]

perfect !

[MegaMrHan]

[MegaMrHan]

TY for sharing the beautiful vid! added to my playlist Asian Grace

[ScienceArtSpirit]

Yang LiPing for me is the greatest dancer on earth

[bogdancomm]

This would be one of the best version of the peacock dance I ever seen... Is that Yang Li Ping dancing?

[bluekiss704]

whoo..i'll be really dizzy if i was to do that...lol..but love this

[MrPasticho]

Beautiful movements, she is fantastic in the way she moves her fingers, nice music.

[Babiemunky]

Beautiful, funny when she does the hand thing :P, but a beautiful dance.

[m0rrie1]

Beautiful dance...does anyone know the song that's playing in the background?

[akumah]

It's called Pastorale.... by Secret Garden.
