Dance, as a performance artform, is practiced for reasons through various ways. It is made up of intentionally ‘selected sequences of human movement’ with embodied value in terms of aesthetics and symbolism (Fraleigh, 1987:49). There is an increased discourse that dance is a political tool as well as embodied politics, Prickett (2007: 237-290), the author who delved into the relation between dance, protest and identities, has made the contribution of that suggestion. In her works, Prickett depicted how the body had become the medium through which dance was performed as an instrument of political protest, and how dance pageants had been the vehicle to fight for social and economic equality (Christofidou, 2004:111-114). This essay starts the discussion about minority, identity, hegemony and cultural hegemony. Then the Chinese ethnic minority group and ethnic minority folk dance are briefly overviewed.
