Dance of Asian America, led by Director Janie Yao, will present all new, authentic, award-winning choreography from China. Dance of Asian America is Houston's premiere non-profit Chinese Dance Company presenting dance by national award-winning dancers from China and professionally trained local dancers. The evening s performances range from classical to cutting-edge contemporary. Many of the dances are inspired by nature, portraying a painted sky, willows in the wind, and blossoms in the rain. The presentation of Eastern dances will also include top dancers from Chinatown's Mitsi Dancing School in new choreography from the heart of China. This exciting evening in the park will be fun for the whole family. Hope to see you there!

Ad Deum Dance Company will perform Prophet, choreographed by Steve Rooks of Martha Graham Dance Company. Set in classic Graham style, this piece is Rooks memorial to his work with Martha Graham.
