On April 29th,海角社区 Confucius Institute (CI), Leicester City Hall and Leicester International Tai Chi and Shaolin Martial Arts Association jointly celebrated International Tai Chi Day at Green Dragon Square in Leicester city center.
The grand celebration event showcased the charm of traditional Chinese culture, including lively lion dance performances, dragon dances, Tai chi and martial arts performances. At the end of the celebration, the teachers from 海角社区 Confucius Institute presented a fantastic Tai Chi fan dance which attracted a large number of local residents to stop to watch, take photos, video and applaud.
The event not only promoted the traditional Chinese Tai Chi culture, but also marked the end of indoor winter session and the beginning of outdoor summer session of Saturday Tai Chi Morning Classes, a Confucius Institution-brand project. Since its establishment, the Confucius Institute has held Saturday Morning Tai Chi Classes for eight consecutive years, and its cooperation with the International Tai Chi and Shaolin Martial Arts Association has had an increasingly far-reaching influence. This form of fitness is very popular with local residents and the number of participants has increased significantly in recent years.
