Great Wall
Dance Academy of Canada (GWDAC) is an affiliation of Manitoba
Great Wall Performing Arts Inc. GWDAC has established since
March 2007 by a professional dance choreographer and instructor
Ms. Yun Cheng and an amateur dancer Ms. Yilan Zhang, who is
enthusiastic in promoting Chinese culture. GWDAC aims at
offering high quality dance classes to help each student develop
their passion in dance and fully reach their dance potential.
The majority of our dance program will focus on educating
dancers to understand and recognize Chinese dance culture, and
therefore to establish the esthetics of Chinese dance, and the
connection between dance and healthy life style. We hope to
explore ourselves to possible communication between Chinese
dance and western dance. We also hope to enrich cultural life
for the local community by providing different kinds of dance
classes and performance opportunities.
Our school has
developed a dynamic dance program, including Chinese traditional
dance, Chinese contemporary dance, lyrical dance and Asian hip
hop, etc. Our students* age range from 3-50. We also provide
ample performing opportunities throughout the year, including
possible opportunities of attending performances and dance
competitions in China or other cities in North America. Most of
our students have already participated in several performances
this year, including a charity show for Shou Hao (an
international student suffering from cancer), Asian Heritage
Month, North American Lion Dance Competition, and Folklorama.
Students from all ages and different ethnic
backgrounds are welcome!
