Author: Source: Updated:2019-04-28

Dasanxian Dance is also called Viennese waltz. It is a traditional folk collective dance that Sani people developed with reference to "Axi Dance in the Bright Moonlight", expressing happiness, optimism, passion. Dancers dance while playing instruments. The basic pace of this dance is three steps and one kick and then formation change according to this pace, thus called "Viennese waltz”. When dancing, young men hold Dasanxian and accompany medium flute, small flute and whistle. When flutes sound, young men play and dance, and girls hold hands to dance in a row towards the young men. With clear instrument sound and beat, people clap and dance happily. Both sides dance in the pace of three steps and one kick. After three steps, girls usually have a 360-degree turn naturally. Because of large amount of exercise, people usually dance for four or five minutes at a time and take a rest, and then dance again. This will repeat again and again, looking monotonous but intriguing. Fast and cheerful with full emotions, Viennese waltz is suitable for young people to dance, thus called "dance for youth". It is also called “dance with Dasanxian”.
