DANCE CHINA NY is America's premier traditional Chinese dance company. The
Manhattan-based DANCE CHINA NY is in residence at the New York Chinese
Cultural Center, founded in 1973 in New York's Chinatown. DANCE CHINA NY's
dancers include internationally-renowned artists from performance stages and academies
throughout mainland China, Taiwan and the U.S. Performing a vast and dynamic range
of Chinese dance and Peking Opera styles, DANCE CHINA NY transports audiences to
a world of colorful myths, historical drama, and timeless beauty. DANCE CHINA NY's
repertoire of traditional and contemporary folk and classical dances weaves a vibrant
vision of China's ancient indigenous folk cultures across varied terrains of time and
region - legend and reality.
They evoke the haunting beauty and melancholy of imperial
courtesans, recreate the rousing carnival rhythms of a harvest festival, and conjure up
the dramatic beating of drums and clashing of swords on a distant battlefield. Noted
for pieces with powerful grace and contained elegance, DANCE CHINA NY performs
regularly throughout the United States for audiences of all ages. DANCE CHINA NY
has toured to hundreds of cities across 23 states, bringing the movements and rhythms
of China to communities large and small. Each year, DANCE CHINA NY performs at
over 500 events and reaches an audience of over 150,000 people.
