A Benefit Celebrating Dian Dong

Join us to celebrate Dian Dong and her life’s work, honor her and H.T. Chen’s legacy, and thank the board and community who carried us through fire, pandemic, and loss. We will also welcome Yeeli Chen and Evelyn Chen as our next generation of leadership.

We will unveil the Dian Dong Dance Education Fund to sustain the K-12 school residencies and teaching-artist training Dian pioneered.

Enjoy a ten-course Chinese banquet dinner as we reflect on decades of trailblazing modern dance and AAPI storytelling.
