Rose Festival Performance – June 8, 2019
This was the ninth year we were performing in the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade. We are very honored to represent the Chinese Community to broaden public awareness and appreciations of traditional Chinese arts and culture with a potential audience of 500,000 along the Portland streets, and more on live TV.
We participated with another strong team of 28 dancers. Our dance is titled “Flower Drum Lamp Dance”. This year’s team was directed by our Artistic Director, Ms. Alice Chumbleholme, and co-ordinated by our Performance Directors. Ms. Iris Zhao and Ms. Lisa Hu the logistics of getting the team ready for the performance.
Our performance team consisted of representatives from the Chinese Friendship Association of Portland’s Fitness Team, the Portland Chinese Dance Troupe, and members from the local Chinese Community. Our volunteer dancers have very strong interests to showcase Chinese arts and culture to the global community through participations in the Grand Floral Parade. Many are busy moms as well as professionals in arts, business, technology, accounting, legal, teaching, real estate, etc. Many are small business owners or work in Fortune 500 companies such as Intel, Nike, and area businesses, etc.
We celebrate our 2019 accomplishments with a wonderful Celebration Dinner onSaturday, June 22, 2019, 6pm at Wong’s King Restaurant
Thank you, everyone. We could not have done it without our hard working dance team.
