Performances include Filipino dance from The Filipino School of NY & NJ, Korean music from Canadian-Korean cellist Soo Bae, Japanese dance from the Yosakoi Dance Project - 10tecomai and Chinese dance and music from our NYCCC artists. After the performances, we will have a couple of dance workshops for you to pick up some new moves. We are excited to collaborate with the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans in this event.
