Program details
With our 2023 New Year Gala, we are celebrating 18 years of bringing dance culture to the Bay Area. Our anniversary is particularly significant in light of the COVID pandemic, through which we drew resilience from our united passion for dance. This performance is a unique and brilliant combination of Ballet, Contemporary, and Chinese Classical Dance. Our beautifully choreographed program includes our award-winning 2022 competition pieces.
We dedicate our entire program today to our amazing students, parents, faculty, and friends. Together, let’s continue to pursue the joy of dance and community.
Please enjoy the show and Happy New Year!
