In the West we are familiar with ballets like Swan Lake. But there’s another classical dance form 1 a long history which has only recently burst onto the world scene. It is called classical Chinese dance.
Classical Chinese dance is 2 incredibly demanding， refined， and expressive dance form. Alongside ballet， it is also one of the most comprehensive dance systems 3 （know） to humankind.
Until recently ， few people outside China had ever heard of classical Chinese dance. One major reason was that when Chinese companies 4 （perform） abroad， they often mixed Chinese dance with western dance styles. So the audience left the theater not sure exactly 5 they had just seen.
In 2005， however， a performing arts company 6
（establish） in New York. Its mission was to promote 7
（tradition） culture， and this included 8 （present） classical Chinese dance in its purest form. Not quite a decade later， classical Chinese dance has become much 9 （well） recognized and is starting to influence western ballet.
Although they have significant differences， both ballet and classical Chinese dance have the ability to vividly tell
10 （story） and move us through beautiful art.
