Grant Avenue Follies

We Bring to Life the Legacy of San Francisco Chinatown’s Golden Nightclub Era  of the 1940’s, 50's and 60's (www.GrantAvenueFollies.org)

Originally made up of four retired SF Chinatown nightclub dancers, they were following doctor’s orders to exercise for improved physical health. The Follies rediscovered the sheer joy and freedom of dance and reconnected with their roots. They give performances to show “just because you’re retired, you don’t have to stay in your pajamas all day!”

The Follies enjoy a loyal following of seniors, many of whom frequented SF Chinatown nightclubs such as Forbidden City, Sky Room and Shanghai Low.  Now, younger generations are also taking an interest in their unique place in San Francisco Chinatown’s history.

They just finished touring China, the UK, Europe and are currently going across the USA to promote their documentary film "Chinatown Cha-Cha," featuring GAF and famed night club dancer Coby Yee (www.ChinatownChaCha.com).
