Original Taoli version of Tao Yao 桃李杯的桃夭

This is the Taoli Dance Competition version of Tao Yao. The CCTV version is the shorter, modified version of this. The first three minutes are different in the CCTV version. In any case, I still LOVE this dance. It's probably the first dance that can be compared to Ta Ge.

The name Tao Yao or Peach Blossoms (桃夭)，comes from a poem aluding the blooming peach blossoms to prosperity of the household. Peach is the symbol of fertility and prosperity, thus in the poem, it says that "Look how strong the peach tree is, the blossoms are heavy in its branches, the girl that will be married shall bring happiness and prosperity to the household."

Although there is some mismatch of music & dancing steps (possibly recording problems at u-tube). I prefer this original Taoli cup in terms of choreograpy as dancers show more individual skills and more variation as compared to the new version. New version would capture more viewership due to better sound recording, clearer picture, possibly prettier dancers too.
