    SUMMARY/EXCERPT:

    The winning team of last year’s Chinese version of “So you think you can dance?”

    The show is “1-2-3-4 Dance” (1234舞) and the team, two boys named A Li (阿力) and Yang Yifan (杨一帆), talk about the dance they call “Forbidden Love,” then perform it. In the interview, both the dancers and the announcer acknowledge the homosexual storyline told by the choreography.
    In the US, the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental diseases in 1973. In China, the equivalent happened in 2001.
    For the finale of 1234舞 last year, Yang Yifan was eliminated and A Li was named the winner. The show is filmed in Changsha, capital of Hunan province. This year’s contest is still under way.
