For instance, Santa and Chinese dancer Ma Xiaolong drew inspiration from the Chinese tea ceremony. Through their artistic dance movements, they eloquently portray the various steps of tea-making, from washing the cups to pouring water and brewing, creating a mesmerizing visual display that celebrated the essence of this age-old tradition.
Meanwhile, another celebrity, pop idol Li Sidanni, blended the Yuju Opera performance Mu Guiying Takes Command with the electrifying Krumping street-dance style, which features aggressiveness and sharp, powerful movements.
Lu believes that the team spirit and mutual support among the crew members showcased in the show will resonate with young people.
"The journey of a young dance crew's development parallels that of entrepreneurship, as both demand the joint efforts of a group of like-minded companions to achieve shared aspirations."
The last episode has now been released on Youku for those wanting to check out the street beats.
