Intertwining Chinese dance, history, and culture with personal storytelling, Ribbon Dance of Empowerment tells a story of Chinese Americans in search of identity, belonging, and self-acceptance. When the dancers wield ribbons, they are empowered to command the majestic dragons within them.
This educational yet entertaining production brings to life China’s long history and diverse cultures through a collection of traditional dances. It also features an original mini dance drama exploring the rarely-told experience of Chinese Americans growing up in the South.
