Banquet of Tang Palace: on and off the stage

Banquet of Tang Palace, a dancing show performed by 14 dancers from Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theater, went viral online after it was staged at the Spring Festival gala of central China's Henan Province.

Brilliantly choreographed and acted, the dancing has almost brought ancient dancing figurines of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) alive.

The performance Banquet of Tang Palace, inspired by the dancing figurines displayed at a museum, tells a story about the life of female musicians during the Tang Dynasty.
