To save her father from death in the army, a young maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China’s greatest heroines in the process! Unknown to her, her ancestors are aware of this and to prevent it, they order a tiny disgraced dragon, Mushu to join her in order to force her to abandon her plan. He agrees, but when he meets Mulan, he learns that she cannot be dissuaded and so decides to help her in the perilous times ahead…

Dance in China has a long recorded history. Classical Chinese dance is deeply rooted in the Chinese civilization. Depictions of dancing in China appeared over 4,000 years ago.
Its origins go back to dances in ancient imperial palaces and folk traditions that were passed down through the generations.
The art of dance in China reached a peak during the Tang Dynasty during the 7th and 10th century Silk Road period when numerous dances were recorded.
In more recent times dance has enjoyed a resurgence, and it is widely performed by the public and professionals alike.
While many Chinese dances have ancient pedigree, dance is also a continually evolving art form and modern developments in Chinese dances are continuing apace.
Xuejuan Dance Ensemble’s The Land of Mulan” perfectly combines the classic dance forms with modern dance movements, it is said to be the most exciting new production on the performing arts scene in the greater Washington DC metropolitan area!
