I’ve seen dance-offs in hanfu—cool stuff! Look for local groups on socials, they’ll post sign-ups.

If you’re diving into hanfu for the first time, go for a classic style like a qixiong ruqun—high-waisted skirt and top, very iconic! Start with a set that’s not too pricey, maybe from a reliable shop online. Study the basics of layering and tying—left crosses over right, always—and maybe get a simple hair accessory to feel the vibe. It’s a cool way to connect with the history!
