@osu.bsa The Burmese Student Association at The Ohio State University performed a medley of traditional Chin dances to showcase various aspects of the rich culture in Burma at Taste of OSU 2024. The Chin culture, which extends from the state of Burma into east of India, is just one of the diverse cultures in the country. Pay attention to the unique dance steps during the performance. “Sowing” illustrates how people sustain themselves, emphasizing the agricultural nature of the country. The “Bamboo Dance” is inspired by the Chin people’s tradition of capturing birds. The “Bird Dance” is a celebratory performance that commemorates heroic deeds and serves as a welcoming gesture to guests. And “Combat” is a dance symbolizing the trials and conflicts between the different tribes within Chin culture. #TasteofOSU
