Chinese term or phrase: 一顺边
I believe that this is a specific dance move for Dai Dance (傣族舞蹈).

对作品《赞哈》作具体解读的基础上,分析了傣族舞蹈女性表演中的“三道弯”、“基本手型”、“律动美”、“一顺边”以及“三道弯”与“一顺边”的融合等一般特征

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
cis-handedness (towards the same direction)

从小就跳舞:民族舞,芭蕾,到现在的拉丁,国标, 我的理解是:一顺边/顺撇子 indicate not only 'limbs going towards the same direction' but also 'the simultaneous movement of the arm/leg on the same side', i.e. cis-handedness.

"same direction"; unidirectrional dance movement


Explanation:
web search yield "same direction" translation , but I believe translating it as "unidirectrional dance movement" would be more acceptable for native English.

“一顺边”,指的是舞蹈过程中顺手和顺脚一同出一侧特殊的动律、体态,它是在高山缺氧,山路崎岖,劳动艰辛,往来不便等特殊条件下形成的。

The Tibetan makes the "Same Direction" the basic movement in their dance.
The "Same Direction" means that the hands and the feet of the dancers move in the same direction and makes special well-regulated movements.

Example sentence(s):
  • “一顺边”其实就是顺撇子。在日常生活中,顺撇子行路走步的动态是不符合惯常生活规律的。然而在高原之上,山里的少数民族却把顺撇子微妙地揉进日常劳作中,并且以美妙的律动点缀着民
  • “一顺边”,指的是舞蹈过程中顺手顺脚一同出一侧特殊的动律,体态。
