Welcome to Freestyle Thoughts, a Dance Podcast! I've done a lot of Chinese dances over the years, but the one that I'm proudest of having done is called 八女投江 (bānǔ tóujiāng), which depicts the story of 8 Chinese female soldiers during WWII. It's a very different dance from a lot of the other Chinese dances we've talked about on this podcast, but in today's episode, I reflect on some of the challenges I faced while I was practicing and learning this dance, as well as some of the fun little anecdotes that came out of hard practice.
