Dance Program in Bejing
Dance is deeply embedded in Chinese culture heritage. Beijing, the capital city of the People's Republic of China with over 13 million people, claims the best collection of China's treasures of the past. It is home to Captital Normal University, where our summer dance program will be held, and to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace. Within easy reach are the Great Wall, the famous Qing East & West Tombs, and many other historically significant and scenic sites.

From there, we will fly to Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, for a two-day visit before returning home.
