Prelude #54
 
Theme: Hexagram:
  C major    Kwai mai "a marrying girl"

There are currently two competition routines in Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan. Currently, there are no plans to teach either of them as part of the daily curriculum. If there is interest one or both routines would likely be taught as weekend seminars. I believe the 56 Movement form was choreographed by Professor Kan Gui Xiang. The 42 Movement form combines moves from Chen, Yang, Sun and Wu styles and was created by the Chinese Sports Committee headed by Professor Li Deyin in 1989.
Here is a link to Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei's daughter Sifu Chen Juanjuan doing 56 Movements with a tutorial
