LONDON adidas superstar 80s baratas , March 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese-style Gangnam flash dance has made its street debut in Britain.
Liverpool city center's main square was crowded as the dance was performed during celebrations to mark Chinese Lantern Festival.
Hundreds of people cheered on the dancers in the city's Clayton Square when Fenfen Huang of non-profit arts & cultural organization China Pearl introduced the flash dance.
More than 100 shoppers and passers-by joined in the dance when Huang and other people performed Xiao Ping Guo (Little Apple) dance, creating a carnival atmosphere in one of the city's busiest shopping streets.
Xiao Ping Guo dance, designed after the emergence of a popular hit composed by a Chinese songwriter, has taken China by storm and gained a level of popularity comparable to Gangnam-style.
For Huang, who came from the city of Linhai adidas superstar flores baratas , Zhejiang Province in China and has been living in Liverpool for over 13 years, the aim is to "introduce it to the general public for British audience to know about China's latest trend and pop culture."
"As it has never been performed in this way before in the UK we have set a new record, but we want to go further and attract even bigger crowds to take part," Huang said.
"Our aim is to create in Liverpool, my second home adidas supercolor baratas , a flash dance record for the greatest number outside of joining in the dance. This was our first attempt and it was a huge success."
The song was performed by Liverpool University graduate Shaun Gibson who sang in both English and Mandarin. His own version of Little Apple has been watched on various platforms in China.
Among the spectators watching Liverpool's citizens enjoying Chinese flash dancing was the city's Lord Mayor Erica Kemp.
Lord Mayor Kemp told Xinhua: "It was a lovely demonstration of different aspects of Chinese culture. We are very proud of our Chinese community in Liverpool and what they contribute to our city cannot be quantified."

BEIJING, Nov. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- American football player Adrian Peterson and his legal team have been reportedly engaged in ongoing discussions to reach a plea agreement to resolve his child abuse case, according to media reports on Monday.
Peterson was indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child on Sept. 12 and was subsequently placed on the commissioner's exempt list on Sept. 17.
He has already missed more than the six weeks required under the bolstered domestic violence policy of National Football League (NFL), the world's biggest professional American football league.
An ESPN report said, the plea agreement would be the first step in Peterson's reinstatement into the NFL. The league has remained unwilling to allow Peterson to return to the Vikings as long as the charges are outstanding.
If Peterson reached a plea deal adidas superstar 2 baratas , he'll be back on the field this season,Attorney Ron Rosenbaum predicted.
Rosenbaum said Peterson's key worry was not what a jury or judge would decide, but what embattled NFL commissioner Roger Goodell planed.
""Even if he wins, he could end up losing with the NFL. Because the NFL has the power, even without a conviction adidas superstar slip on baratas , to punish Adrian Peterson,""Rosenbaum said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.
The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy adidas superstar foundation baratas , were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.
Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy, saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.
Yellen, 67, took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke www.superstarbaratases.es , who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.
In the public debut in her new role, Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.
Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate, now at 6.6 percent adidas superstar baratas españa , is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.
"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.
While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected adidas superstar baratas , Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.
The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January, citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.
The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying, which now totals 65 billion dollars a month, at a similar pace at each Fed meeting and end it by the end of 2014, provided the economy develops generally in line with expectations.
Yellen also highlighted the Fed's financial regulatory role ADIDAS YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 BELUGA 2.0 Grises Naranja Baratas , saying that.
