Traditional Chinese dance, music and storytelling at Brewery Arts Center
Celebrate the Chinese New Year at Carson City's Brewery Arts Center Feb. 8. 2 p.m. with traditional Chinese dance featuring Nevada Arts Council artist Xian Na Carlson.
Xian Na Carlson began learning folk dances as a child growing up in Zhangzhou, China. From her aunt she learned the Tuan Shan, (fan dance), the Xin Jiang regional dance and Tai Ji forms.
Those lessons sparked a lifelong interest in sharing Chinese culture through dance, music and the arts. In 1987 she moved from China to the Gardnerville area where she has continued to teach traditional Chinese dances derived from several of the 50 provinces to her own young children as well as others in the community, from kindergartners to adults.
The performance is Saturday, Feb. 8, 2 p.m. at the BAC Performance Hall, 511 W. King Street.
There will be a free traditional Chinese dance workshop with Xian Na Carlson is on Monday, January 27th from 4:00pm-5:00pm, BAC performance hall, 511 W King Street.
