Chinese Han and Tang Dynasty dance refers to the traditional dance forms that flourished during the Han (206 BCE – 220 CE) and Tang (618 – 907 CE) Dynasties in China. These dance styles were characterized by their elegance, grace, and rich cultural significance. During the Han Dynasty, dance was an integral part of court rituals and ceremonies, often accompanied by music and performed by trained dancers wearing elaborate costumes. Tang Dynasty dance further developed these traditions, incorporating influences from various ethnic groups and regions within China as well as from Central Asia.
