Peacock dance from the 4th Taoli National Dance Competition in 1994. Finalist. This is significantly different from Yang Liping's. The music sounds very scratchy but not much can be done about it.
She took Honorable Mention. The first prize went to the dancer for ??? (http://www.youtube. com/my_videos_edit?n s=1&video_id=yJscd45 Q1iQ).
The first version to break out of the traditional peacock dance, which was a male dance. This features the gentleness of the peacocks as depicted by a group of female dancers. The lead is an ethnic Korean who was well known for her drum dance.
No kites, but a lovely fan dance effortlessly performed by Beijing Dance Academy. Many tempo changes and interesting formations, definitely NOT your average boring fan dance.
Pas de deux from the 3rd National Dance Competition. The male dancer took 3rd prize. I'm posting this because there is a woeful shortage of Chinese ballet footages on YouTube.
Modern portion from 3rd Taoli Cup National Dance Competition, Junior division. Ji Pingping went on to take the only senior division gold at the 2000 Paris Ballet Concours. She is currently a principle at Shanghai Ballet. The music is from the 2nd mvmt of 1 of Chopin's piano concertos (if I recall correctly).
Mongolian Dance from the 4th Taoli Cup. Note the use of the skirt to show both galloping on the steppes and wind. At one point, the dancer seems to be looking out onto the vast plains. The dance should be about a minute longer but this version somehow cuts the beginning section out.
Classical ribbon dance patterned after the flying goddesses of Dunhuang mural. This is the original Dunhuang dance, by the dancers who premiered it in the mid 1950s.

Lovely female group dance by the Central University for Nationalities. 3rd prize at the 3rd CCTV Dance Competition. This version is the earlier and less synchronized version of the CCTV prize-winning dance.
Note the clever use of the girls' scarves.
6th Taoli Cup National Dance Competition; beautifully danced, wonderful costume.
The dance portrays theh life of Yang Yuhuan, the most beloved concubine of Emperor Gaozong (I think he's the one) of the Tang dynasty. 1 of the 4 legendary beauties of ancient China, known for her voluptuous figure, her dance and her love of lichees.
The dance that made ??? a star. This dance took multiple top prizes at national competitions. It blends martial arts, folk and classical dance, virtuoso and acting, all in the context of a bottle-happy young man.
This version is from the 2000 6th Taoli national competition, junior division; to be distinguished from the later CCTV Dance Competition version. Same dancer, a couple of years younger here.
