The Dance Extension In-School Performance program offers performances of Chinese ethnic dances, Chinese opera / songs, martial arts, storytelling, fashion show, and audience participation. 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. Each ethnic dance brings different and unique dance movements and styles among the selected 56 ethnic groups influenced by each group's own traditions and customs.

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.

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.

The Dance Extension In-School Performance may support virtual performance, if interested. Zoom or other available technology can be used for the virtual performance and audience participation. Will work closely with teachers to plan and coordinate the necessary details.

A performance space no less than 20'X18' or on a stage will be needed. A private room (which can be any office or 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 acts. A microphone is needed for the MC. If someone at the school is available to be our MC to introduce our performance, written scripts will be provided by us in advance. Our music can be on a CD or USB. Will need a CD or USB player sound system and someone from the school to handle our music during the performance.

This program may support virtual performance, if interested. Zoom or other available technologies can be used for the virtual performance and audience participation.
