Traditional 'belly dance' in Guizhou

Children of the Bouyei ethnic group perform a hundred-year-old local folk dance called Wendangmu during a folk culture art festival held in Weng'ang township in southwest China's Guizhou province, on July 27, 2009. With baskets covering their heads and shoulders and humorous faces painted on their bellies, the dancers act like dwarves. The dance was originally part of local farming traditions, but is now done as an art form. [Xinhua]Traditional 'belly dance' in Guizhou
