Dance is an elegant performing art that showcases the dancer's spiritual world. Xu Shaman and Cai Weiyi, graduates of the School of Journalism and Communication at Jinan University, majoring in Network and New Media, have showcased the beauty of Chinese dance in the UK and spread the charm of Chinese traditional culture to the world.

Xu Shaman joined the Jinan University Student Dance Troupe in her freshman year, making her undergraduate time even more unforgettable. As members of the dance troupe at Jinan University, Xu Shaman and Cai Weiyi have left their graceful figures on many stages.

After studying at the University of Manchester in the UK, Xu Shaman discovered that the university had no Chinese dance-related clubs. Her foreign classmates or teachers couldn't distinguish between Chinese dance and ballet or Korean dance. She and Cai Weiyi agreed to present the diversity of Chinese dance culture to the world with their dance skills.

During her time in the UK, Xu Shaman spent nearly two months producing a Chinese dance video. In the video, the two girls danced gracefully, and the unique charm of Chinese dance was evident. After the video was posted on major social media platforms at home and abroad, the number of views and other data immediately skyrocketed. The dance video also attracted foreign dance enthusiasts to join the ranks of learning Chinese dance. They said, "Our mission to spread Chinese traditional culture is far from completion."

舞姿翩翩！中国姐妹花英国街头传播中国文化｜暨南大学校友全球追梦

舞蹈是一种优雅的表演艺术，展现着舞者的精神世界。许沙曼、蔡蔚怡，毕业于暨南大学新闻与传播学院网络与新媒体专业，她们在英留学期间多次走上街头，展现中国舞蹈之美，以中国舞的形式，向世界传播中华传统文化的魅力。

许沙曼在大一就加入了暨南大学学生舞蹈团，她的本科生涯也因此更让人难以忘怀。作为暨南大学舞蹈团成员，许沙曼、蔡蔚怡在众多舞台上留下了她们蹁跹的身影。

到英国曼彻斯特大学深造后，许沙曼发现曼彻斯特大学不仅没有中国舞相关的社团，她的外国同学或者老师也根本分不清中国舞和芭蕾舞、韩舞之间的区别。她与同样在英国深造的蔡蔚怡约定：通过自己的爱好特长，向世界展示中国舞蹈文化的多样性。

在英国期间，许沙曼用了近两个月的时间制作了一条中国舞视频。视频中，两位姑娘裙袂飘飘，中国舞的独特魅力扑面而来。视频在各大海内外社交平台发布后，包括浏览量在内的各项数据立刻刷新了账号纪录。这条舞蹈视频还成功地吸引了国外舞蹈爱好者加入学习中国舞蹈的行列。她们表示：“传播中华传统文化，我们的使命还远未结束。”
