Bound Feet Women

Tonghai, Yunnan Province
Kyra Doolan, University of Richmond

This dance troupe consisted of about 8 women, and it gets smaller every year due to the age of the women. They are what remains of the foot binding tradition that used to take place in China. They have grouped together to preserve a part of their culture. They danced and played music for us, then performed taiji, and at the end had us join in and dance with them.
