Baishou Dance

The Baishou Dance or baishouwu (摆手舞, literally 'hand-waving dance') is a 500 year old historic group dance of the Tujia, one of 55 ethnic minorities in China. The dance uses 70 ritual gestures to represent war, farming, hunting, courtship and other aspects of traditional life.

Literature

This dance is referred to near the end of Chapter 3 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby:
"Forms leaned together in the taxis as they waited, and voices sang, and there was laughter from unheard jokes, and lighted cigarettes outlined unintelligible 70 gestures inside."
