Established in 2002, the Twin Cities Chinese Dance Center (“TCCDC”) is a non-profit performing arts and educational organization founded with the goal of promoting the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture. Our activities are designed to preserve traditional Chinese genres of performing arts and nurture innovations that reflect the dynamic and diverse Chinese cultural heritage.
Our programs fuse contemporary performing arts with traditional Chinese performance styles. Our objective is to take audiences beyond cultural boundaries to where tradition meets innovation and creative freedom arises from discipline in the technical aspects of Chinese performing arts. Through teaching, performing Chinese traditional dance, and entering into competitive events, TCCDC has educated and inspired students and audiences for nearly a decade.
TCCDC offers a comprehensive curriculum. We offer classes that focus on traditional Chinese dance movements and the historic cultural background of these movements. Chinese dance has its own unique vocabulary, meanings, and ordered structure that enables a dancer to fully express his or her thoughts and feelings with ease, grace and technical acumen. To reach this high level of performance, TCCDC students are trained by professional instructors that are also performers and therefore have a deep comprehension of both the technical and physical aspects of Chinese dance, as well as of the Chinese culture that is the basis for the dance steps. To satisfy broader interest of our students and parents, we also offer specially designed courses such as Latin, ballet, and Chinese martial arts.
TCCDC has developed essentially since it was established in 2002 with growing support from a variety of individuals, communities and organizations in Minnesota. We gained high reputation in the communities for professional instructors and curriculum setup, high quality performances and reliable operation. TCCDC held quite a few successful performances such as the 2009 annual production (Dance of the Joy) and the 2010 Mother’s Tribune show. Furthermore, TCCDC also dedicated to out reaching and improving communities diversification through out all kinds of concerts, dance competition as well as local theme events and performances. Speaking of excellence and high level of performance, five students from TCCDC brought back three first-place and one second-place trophies from the North American Dance Competition in May of 2010.
With the quality, diversity, and social responsibility, TCCDC is truly the most promising Chinese dance center in the Twin Cities.
