Sogdian Whirl dance

The dance was imitated by the Chinese and became popular in China, where it went on to be performed at court.

The Sogdian Whirl and other similar, imported dances were popular in China during the Tang dynasty, especially in Chang'an and Luoyang.

[7] In the Sogdian Whirl, a young woman was spinning inside a circle.

The dance was performed at court by, among others, the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei.

[6] Further, it was depicted on many native Chinese tombs, which further shows its popularity in China.
