== Dance diplomacy ==
During the 1950s and 1960s, cultural exchange of dance was a common feature of international diplomacy, especially amongst East and South Asian nations. The [[People's Republic of China]], for example, developed a formula for dance diplomacy that sought to learn from and express respect for the aesthetic traditions of recently independent states that were former European colonies, such as Indonesia, India, and Burma, as a show of anti-colonial solidarity.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wilcox |first1=Emily |date=22 December 2017 |title=Performing Bandung: China's dance diplomacy with India, Indonesia, and Burma, 1953–1962 |url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14649373.2017.1391455 |journal=[[Inter-Asia Cultural Studies]] |volume=18 |issue=4 |pages=518–539 |doi=10.1080/14649373.2017.1391455 |s2cid=111380513 |access-date=21 March 2023 |archive-date=22 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230322043705/https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14649373.2017.1391455 |url-status=live }}</ref>
