Description
Zhang Jun (张均 1935-2012) was a pioneer of the genre known as "Oriental Dance" (东方舞), in particular the dances of South and Southeast Asia. Born in Hubei, Zhang joined the "New Peace" (新安) performance ensemble (later the Shanghai Experimental Opera Theater) in Shanghai in 1950. From late 1954 to mid-1955, Zhang travelled to India, Burma, and Indonesia on a Chinese Cultural Delegation led by Dai Ailian. In 1956, Zhang entered the Beijing Dance School, where she became a founding member of the Oriental Music and Dance Course, and in 1962, she was a founding member of the Oriental Song and Dance Ensemble (东方歌舞团, est. 1962), a national-level ensemble based in Beijing that specialized in the dances of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Between 1980-1981, Zhang received intensive training in multiple styles of Indian classical dance at the Darpana Academy in India. In China, she pursued advanced study in Indian religious history at Peking University and published one of the first Chinese-language books on bharata natyam. Zhang studied in India again in 1986-87, 1993, and 2003, the last two times with her students. Zhang was recognized by Indian presidents and cultural leaders for her accomplishments in Indian dance.
