CCIP students danced away in New York City during NYC Dance Week 2014. The city-wide event was held from June 19 to 28 to celebrate diversity through dance. Free dancing classes were offered to all by different studios, such as Hip Hop and Jazz.
New York City is famous for dancing, with performers dancing even in the subways. In Hong Kong, dancing in the streets or subways is typically viewed as unusual. However, these dancers are appreciated as artists in New York City. By participating in dancing, students realized how through performance, different community members could be brought together.
"We enjoyed the dancing classes a lot and one of our members won a NYC Dance Week T-shirt and souvenirs. Hurray!" said Alice Choi, a liberal studies major at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
