Chinese Folk Dance Association

​Established in 1959, the Chinese Folk Dance Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization committed to promoting Chinese culture and dance through education and expression.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, our organization welcomes individuals of all ages, 8 and above, to join our weekly dance classes. These classes provide a safe and supportive environment for learning, allowing dancers to explore the beauty of Chinese dance and its cultural significance. Beyond just learning dance techniques, we instill discipline, dedication, and perseverance in our students, empowering them to value their own efforts.

As active participants in community celebrations, we showcase our dancers at street fairs and festivals, culminating in a performance every two years that highlights their progress and dedication. Through these opportunities, we actively promote self-confidence and teamwork within our dancers and strive to foster an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual support.
