Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato has taught opera master classes at Carnegie Hall for many years. In this video, you can clearly see the link to t'ai chi practice: connecting energy, breath, root and how that can be harnessed in singing.

A Voice Lesson for Tai Chi Players
Music and t'ai chi share a lot in both principles and practice. Here, singer Joyce DiDonato coaches opera singer Amalia Avilán Castillo in a very tai chi-ish way....consistency, energy, aim, relax, whole self, whole body. You can watch DiDonato teach on these Carnegie Hall opera master class videos, and other venues online.
