ribbon dancing
Gymnastic fabric choreography
Ribbon dancing is a performance art in which dancers manipulate long ribbons attached to sticks, creating flowing patterns and spirals through the air.
It originates in Chinese folk tradition and became part of rhythmic gymnastics as an Olympic discipline.
The ribbons, typically silk or satin, extend several meters and require continuous motion to maintain their fluid shapes: The ribbon dancing at the festival mesmerized the crowd.
