THE CHANGING FACE OF YINGGE DANCE

英歌：广东普宁民间传统舞蹈

Yingge dance in Puning, Guangdong province, is just one of hundreds of small-scale regional folk arts trying to stay afloat in modern China. It was once performed by the whole village, but today’s Yingge dancers are farmers who sing stories of heroes in their spare time. The skilled hands of makeup artists transform ordinary villagers into outlaws and spirits, who continue to entertain the countryside as they have for centuries.
