Liverpool celebrates Lunar New Year with ancient dance

A Chinese dancer living in Britain has revived a 2,000-year-old traditional dance as a centerpiece of a feast of entertainment to welcome the Lunar New Year of the Horse.

Fenfen Huang from Linhai in Zhejiang province wants a British audience to experience the colorful spectacles that dominate television screens across China.

Huang, director of a Liverpool-based arts and culture company, China Pearl, has choreographed an evening of Chinese dance and music on Feb 1 to be performed at the Unity Theatre in her adopted city.
