Lotus steps are a dance movement found in nearly every traditional Chinese dance. The popular move is also the inspiration behind the name of the Chinese Cultural Dance Club at UCLA’s annual dance showcase, “Lotus Steps: Origins,” which will be held Saturday in Royce Hall at 7 p.m. The club delves not only into classical Chinese dance, but also a small sample of the dances and traditions of China’s ethnic minorities. Listen to dancers and instructors of CCDC describe the origins of these dances and how they differ and connect.
