Celebrating over 30 years of dance making, the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company is a rare Asian American female-created touring company that honors and advances the dynamic spirit of Chinese-American cultural tradition. Nai-Ni Chen’s unique choreographic styles reflect the grace and splendor of the Chinese cultural traditions she studied in Taiwan, and the dynamic spirit of modern and contemporary dance she acquired in New York. The Company’s contribution to the community has been honored by OCA, the leading national Asian American advocacy organization. The Company has toured extensively in the US and international festivals around the world, and has the honor of more than 20 awards from the National Endowment for the Arts. Prominent institutions, including the Lincoln Center Institute, the Joyce Theater, NJ Ballet, and Ballet Met all have commissioned notable works.
