Superstars of Dance Sunday January 4 at 9pm EST

I enjoy dance competitions very much but I must say that I was disgusted to see that representing true China traditional dancers were a bunch of Shaolin Monks performing as well. It is a dance competition not a performing arts competition.

I have been teaching 29 years focusing on technique and explaining form movements as it is applied to combat situations. I am bothered by ignorance that Wu Shu is a dance. If you type in english the words Martial Arts and translate to Chinese Characters you will see Wu Shu comes up. To see this nonsense on USA Television just makes my work go down the drain.

Worst of all as a judge there sits a Shaolin Monk who gives every performance an 8.0. This show will continue on Monday nights so if you missed it you can see it. Performers are actually dancing in their chosen crafts and along comes Shaolin kids performing Modern Wu Shu Skills and Iron Shirt demonstrations resting their bodies on Spear heads as they are elevated by 8 monks. This does not belong in this type of competition. Now I will hear how great Wu Shu dance is.
