China-Spring Festival Gala/Robot Dancers
Beijing, China - Jan 28, 2025 (CCTV - No access Chinese mainland)
1. Various of Yangge dance performance by human dancers and robots at 2025 Spring Festival Gala
A team of robot dancers took to the stage alongside their human counterparts for a fun performance featuring the Chinese folk dance Yangge during the 2025 Spring Festival Gala on Tuesday evening.
The grand television show has integrated traditional culture with innovative means to entertain audiences on the eve of the Chinese New Year, with the robot dance being among the many memorable on-stage performances during the hours-long variety show which is being broadcast live on Tuesday.
Advanced humanoid droids adorned with bright flashy colors strutted their stuff as they danced in synchronized steps to the Chinese folk dance of Yangge, which is popular in both rural and urban areas of northern China.
The robots also impressively performed the "handkerchief spin" - a signature move in Yangge which typically requires great skill and practice.
The annual gala, also known as "Chunwan", was first broadcast in 1983 and is seen as a major cultural symbol for Spring Festival celebrations in China.
Recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's most-watched annual TV program, the hours-long television extravaganza attracts over a billion views every year.
The 2025 Spring Festival, or the Chinese New Year, falls on Wednesday this year, ushering in the Year of the Snake.
