Dai Dance
The Dai minority people live in a tropical climate, and they often wear a hat in their daily lives.  Such hats have become an important prop in Dai folk dance.  The lead dancers (not pictured here) carry an instrument called the "hulusi," which originated from Dai culture.

Performed by the students (ages 13-16) of the Atlanta Chinese Dance Company as a part of Ming, Gu, Xian in September 2004.
