“CulturalFest goes beyond mere entertainment; it's a catalyst for dialogue, learning, and building connections that transcend cultural boundaries.”
Traditional Chinese Dance at UW (TCDUW)
Every year, FIUTS CulturalFest is filled with loud music, fascinating dance moves, and most importantly, laughter and more laughter. You never get tired of seeing new cultural dimensions each performing group brings.
The newly formed Traditional Chinese Dance group at University of Washington found its place at CulturalFest and is back with 2 new dances to showcase the diversity of Chinese culture! Get insight to their preparation below:
Our group is the Traditional Chinese Dance at UW (TCDUW)! We were founded in 2021 with a mission to build a community of passionate dancers by providing an inclusive, supporting, and energizing environment for students to learn diverse ethnic Chinese dance styles. TCDUW aims to spread Chinese culture in the UW and Seattle communities through various performances, events, and workshops.
Last year's CulturalFest was an unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression on our entire team. The warmth and hospitality extended by the staff, coupled with the camaraderie forged among fellow performers and participants, made it a truly remarkable event. The chance to showcase our culture on the prestigious stage of Benaroya Hall was also a dream come true.
Altogether this inspired us to participate in CulturalFest again this year. We are honored and eager to contribute to the vibrant tapestry of cultures, build new connections, and continue spreading the love and beauty of our heritage through dance this year!
This year we are bringing two group dances! One is a rendition of a widely known Chinese Fan dance called Paper Fan Scholar and the other is a Tibetan dance called Heavenly Shower. By bringing two different styles of dances, we hope to reveal how diverse Chinese dance and culture is!
The profound impact of events like CulturalFest on fostering cultural understanding within the community cannot be overstated. CulturalFest serves as a dynamic platform where individuals from different backgrounds come together to celebrate diversity. The exchange of traditions, customs, and artistic expressions not only educates but also inspires a collective appreciation for the richness of our collective heritage. It goes beyond mere entertainment; it's a catalyst for dialogue, learning, and building connections that transcend cultural boundaries.
It’s hard to not imagine how amazing they will look on stage. Can’t wait for their performance at CulturalFest this Saturday!
