It was a few years back when I first watch her performance on the TV. I was really amazed by her arms and body movement. She controls her muscle isolation so well and yet look so elegant and graceful. I've been searching for her video clips for quite sometime and finally, I found it!
Yang LiPing became well-known overnight for her individual dance "Spirit of Peacock" in a national contest and ever since, she has been dubbed "Princess of Peacock." She's now in her late forties and still performs her Peacock Dance to adoring audiences.
The peacock is the totem worshiped by the Dai people. Based on the Dai's folk dance imitating the peacock, Yang's peacock dance highlights the vitality and elegance of the noble creature.
