FIRE AT 70 MULBERRY STREET

FIRE AT 70 MULBERRY STREET Image

On the eve of January 23, 2020 a 3-alarm fire, which escalated to 5-alarm, tore through 70 Mulberry Street, home to Chen Dance Center. The historic building, formerly PS 23, is home to numerous cultural and social service organizations. We are grateful all our teaching staff, artists, and students are safe.

For over 40 years, Chen Dance Center has been dedicated to serving the Asian-American and dance communities through arts education. We will continue to provide on-going classes in the community until 70 Mulberry Street is restored.

At a time like this, we ask for your help to get back on our feet. For those able to help us at this difficult time, your support is greatly appreciated at charity.gofundme.com/chendancecenter
