ACLS had previously hosted three wonderful “Acton Chinese Music Night” events in 2006, 2007, and 2009, respectively. Those high-quality professional performances have left profound impressions on audiences and had a great impact on local communities and neighboring towns.

This year the Angel Dance Company is invited to perform a feature presentation of its outstanding dance and music celebration in the themes of “Ancient Grace of the Dragon Heritage” (龙族古韵), “Brilliant Colors of the Minority Regions” (姹紫嫣红), “A Song Dedicated to you” (为你而歌).

Directed by Keke, founder of the Angel Dance Company, and highlighted by the guest artists, Guzheng (Chinese zither) musician Hui Weng and award-winning dancer Yifeng Liu, over 100 local dancers from the Angel Dance Company and Angel Dance School will present to you Ancient Chinese cultural elements through modern dance and music performances and transform you to a colorful dreamland of Chinese ethnic groups. This fantastic performance was a huge success when Angel Dance Company performed at John Hancock this April. You will surely be indulged in an unforgettable night of enchantment of Chinese performance art in Acton on Dec. 2.
