Rhythm is the common language! The 2025 Cross-Straits Street Dance Competition just lit up Pingtan, with over 500 dancers from both sides of the Taiwan Straits. It was more than a battle—it was a powerful display of cultural connection. Clad in stylish attire, the contestants delivered dynamic street dance performances with expressive movements, earning enthusiastic applause as the audience swayed to the rhythm and captured the highlights. For Wei Tao, a returning participant, the event was a heartfelt reunion: “Reconnecting with old friends and interacting with cross-Straits peers feels incredibly meaningful. Beyond competition, street dance serves as a bridge—letting us understand each other’s cultures and emotions through shared passion, fostering profound bonds across the Straits.”
