DANCE (continued)

Lisa Chyn (An Fong Dance Ensemble)
The magnetic Lisa Chyn—both a teacher and international dance artist—performs traditional Chinese dance during a solo performance or with her dance ensemble. Also known as An Fong, Chyn is the founder and director of the Lisa Chyn Ensemble and the An Fong Dance Company, both of which have entertained and enlightened audiences throughout the United States.

China Through Dance
Wearing the exquisite costumes of traditional Chinese dancers, Chyn and company demonstrate Chinese dances—The Sliver Plate Dance, Ribbon Dance, Umbrella Dance and more. Students participate with Chinese fans and ribbons, signatures of Chinese artistry.

China Through Music
Through the gu-zheng (Chinese zither or table harp) and the ar-hu (a two-string fiddle), students learn about an ancient culture’s history and artistic legacy.

China Through Dance (Workshop)
This beautiful workshop helps students understand and appreciate Chinese culture by examining the core movements of traditional dance. Using props, students will learn one or more specific dances (e.g., Ribbon Dance, Fan Dance, Handkerchief Dance).
