September 17th, the Alberta Mid-Autumn Festival Dance Festival: use "dance" to express lovesickness Watch and worship, express feelings, reunite the whole family, and together...

Local families

Watch and worship, express your feelings, reunite the whole family, sing and dance together, and share delicious food, forming a traditional activity. This year, at 6:30 pm on September 17th, the local Chinese people celebrated our traditional festival with a folk song and dance at the Meisha Art Center.

There are more than one hundred local Chinese in Phoenix studying Chinese folk dance, modern dance, dance techniques, etc. at the Alberta College of the Arts. Many performers in this dance festival have received professional training for many years and will use "dance" to express their lovesickness and use the most Chinese art to express the feelings of overseas Chinese towards their motherland and their relatives.

The fields around me, the fragrance of jujube flowers at hand, the ripe sorghum fills the sky with red, Jiuer, I will send you to the distant place. The dance "Jiuer" once again shows the familiar land of my hometown in front of the audience. Jiu'er, who is far away from home, turns her wrists and raises her hands to beautify your heart step by step. "The moon rises in the sea, and we are at the end of the world at this moment." She expresses the emotions of being in a foreign land in a detailed way. It is poignant, touching, and heart-wrenching. It is the feeling of homesickness.

The dance "Plum Blossom Tears" is a collection of Chinese national body charm training. Every wave of sleeves and every look back reflects the charm of oriental beauty. "The Dance" is the first program where a mother and daughter perform on the same stage. The beauties, big and small, dressed in palace costumes, are pampered, delicate and cute, and full of grace.

As the saying goes, "One minute on stage, ten years off stage." The young actors from three years old to teenagers will have a very exciting display of dance skills, allowing everyone to see how those beautiful and picturesque dances can be performed through rigorous training. This will be a high-level dance competition for Arizona Chinese.
