Albuquerque Chinese Folk Dance Ensemble

As a hallmark of Albuquerque’s Asian community, our ensemble brings together local scientists, doctors, engineers, businesswomen, and teachers who share a love for dance and cultural heritage. With a repertoire that blends our American background with our Asian roots, we present both traditional and contemporary works, each infused with authentic music, vibrant costumes, and dynamic storytelling. Our performances incorporate elements from Tibetan, Mongolian, Southeastern, and Northwestern Chinese traditions, featuring sword-like fans, flower-like fans, nomadic costumes and hats, and powerful rhythmic drums to enhance the visual and emotional impact of our art. More than just a performance, our dance serves as a means of connection, education, and inspiration. We have actively showcased our work on various stages, schools, academies, Spring Festival galas, museums, industries, and even at the State Capitol of New Mexico.

The Albuquerque Chinese Folk Dance Ensemble is a vibrant local dance troupe based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded in 2017, we are dedicated to promoting and celebrating Chinese ethnic, folk, and classical dance while fostering cultural exchange and understanding within our diverse community. Our journey began with a passion for Chinese dance, but it has since grown into a deep commitment to preserving tradition, inspiring audiences, and strengthening cultural connections across New Mexico. Through our passion and energetic expression, we aim to preserve and share the richness of Chinese dance, fostering cross-cultural appreciation and celebrating Asian heritage. Alongside many other traditions and art forms from around the world, our folk dance team is dedicated to enriching both our community and the broader cultural landscape. We strive to ensure that the beauty of Chinese folk dance continues to thrive for generations to come, touching hearts near and far. Through our passionate performances, we aim to foster communication, friendship, and a deeper cultural understanding among the people of New Mexico.
