KASHGAR, Xinjiang: Under a clear blue sky and in front of the golden Etigar Mosque, 15-year-old Xiayidan Mukongmu did a pirouette, her colorful dress swirling in the wind.
"I dance at home every day after I finish my homework. It is boring to dance alone, so I dance with my 7-year-old brother," she said.
"We Uygurs dance when we walk and sing when we speak."
