The yangko dance is a traditional Chinese folk dance created by Chinese farmers when they worked in the rice field hundreds of years ago. During the dance, dancers sway their bodies to music rhythms and walk at an exaggerated pace to present old stories to the audience in a new style. Thanks to its jolly scene, abundant dance language, exuberant gestures, and vivid performing style, it is always favored by the Chinese. People will organize yangko dance performances spontaneously whenever there is a grand festival. All the people present are concentrating on the performance, appreciating and sharing the enthusiasm of dancers, and forgetting troubles in their own life completely.
