Dance
I have performed in a range of places, from the Kennedy Center to the Embassy of the People's Republic of China to the Verizon Center.
I was a member of the Fairfax Chinese Dance Troupe, which performs across the DMV (DC, MD, VA) area. Up until college, I performed about 20 times a year, usually solo but also duo and group as well. I was also a performer and choreographer for Traditional Chinese Dance at USC where I had the lead role of Queen of Hearts in our annual show in 2017 and choreographed the finale for our annual show in 2019.
