| Please see below for space/setup requirements. | A performance space no less than 20'X18' or on a stage. A private room (which can be any office/classroom) for the performers to change and leave their belongings there. This room needs to be very close to the performing area to allow performers to quickly change costumes in between programs. A microphone for the MC (and a low-stand microphone and a chair if classical instrument is part of the performance). If someone at the school is available to be our MC to introduce our performance, written scripts will be provided by us in advance.

The Dance Extension In-School Performance program offers students and teachers an opportunity to experience and explore Chinese dances and cultural performance packaged with history, geography, arts and culture of China. Each ethnic dance brings different and unique dance movements and styles among the 56 ethnic groups influenced by each group’s own traditions and customs. Available programs for our performance include Chinese ethnic dances, live classical instrumental music, Chinese opera / songs, martial arts, storytelling, ethnic fashion show, and audience participation in learning and performing a Chinese dance. Programs can be designed along with a teacher’s objective as an extension to learning in a subject area, Chinese festival celebrations, or simply a celebration of diversity with the global language of dance. Colorful and culturally rich costumes and the related historical, geographical, and cultural background will be presented along with the selected ethnic dances and cultural performance. As an audience demo at the end of the performance, students will listen and follow instructions to learn and perform the dance steps, patterns, and movements according to music and rhythm. Students will have the opportunity to learn, experience and demonstrate a Chinese ethnic dance. |

| Will work closely with teachers to plan and select performance programs based on teachers’ objectives and requests. For example, if the teacher has Chinese customs and culture of Mongolian ethnic group in his/her lesson plan, we will incorporate a Mongolian dance in our performance beside other dances and cultural programs. | |
| We always welcome volunteers to assist in our performance. 2 to 3 volunteers can assist with being the MC of our performance (we will provide introduction scripts in advance), stage management including lighting and handling of music/sound during our performance. | |
