A few days ago, the Keqiao District Cultural Center launched “Pearl Class” online as an extension of the popular offline art class in order to show the charm of art to the citizens by offering them indoor courses in 19 subjects including Chinese zither, paper-cut, fan dance and traditional opera.

“The lessons can be attended again and again whenever and wherever possible.” Wang Sujuan, who is learning the fan dance, thinks that the online class is a new way for her to acquire knowledge. “Fan elements are added movements in the online course, making dance steps colorful, light and graceful. It’s a good course for the masses.” Wang Sujuan, who teaches a dance course at a college for the aged, also told the reporter that she would share the new dance with her students. At present, in addition to the dance course, the Chinese zither course is also popular with many citizens.

It is understood that the District Cultural Center has offered ten sessions of art class online in the form of “Internet+ Public Cultural Service” since October this year. In the future, excellent courses in 19 subjects will be taught for more than 80 sessions on WeChat. Yu Qibin, Director of the Cultural Center, expressed his willingness to share artistic information through art training courses to benefit more art lovers.
