A dance style originally from India opened the Brigham Young University Ballroom Dance Group's performance at Beijing's Poly Theatre.

The Brigham Young University Ballroom Dance Company visited Beijing on Tuesday night with a collection of national dances from all over the world.

For two-hours, dancers whirled through a variety of dance routines, ranging from the universally loved Irish tap dance and Spanish Flamenco to rarely-seen folk dances from Israel and Hungary.

The Chinese folk song "Jasmine Flower" inspired a new routine, bringing the dancers closer to the Beijing audience.

The night ended with Beijing's Olympic theme song " You and Me".

Created in 1975, the company is known as one of the best formation ballroom dance teams in the world. It has frequently participated in many Chinese cultural events.
