Stock type Movement of Hua Dan- Cinderella

The way they walk-
They are not as grounded as most characters, and tend to hop before posing or making a gesture. They walk with small trots which makes them look energetic and youthful.

The way they move their upper body and posture-
They tend to be lithe and fluid in the movement of their upper body, showing a good command in terms of flexibility and coordinated body isolation.

The way they make gestures with their arms-
They actually have one of the most complicated set of gestures and movements for this area. As they do not possess water sleeves they need to refine and perfect the use of their fingers and wrist so as to further exaggerate their movements. This in turn equates in a greater control of the movement of their arms as the audience can actually see what they do.

The way they move their heads-
They are very animated, moving it along with their arms and body, giving rise to a very playful looking character.

In General-
This character is very lively and bustling with energy. It needs to be played with a lot of energy as the movements required of it has to be 'blown up' on stage.
