The once-nearly-lost 5,000 years of Chinese civilization came alive in New York on Sept. 4, 2021 as dancers from around the globe participated in the 9th NTD International Classical Chinese Dance Competition. The classical Chinese dance competition is one in a series of international cultural and arts events aimed at promoting traditional culture. In China, this culture has been all but destroyed by the Chinese Communist Party over the past several decades. The events are hosted by NTD.
Eleven dancers from the Junior Female Division made it to the Finals: Lillian Parker, Victoria Li, Nancy Xu, Katherine Parker, Yingmei Zheng, Carol Huang, Judy Luo, Ellen Hsiao, Jenna Chen, Grace Huang, Luna Yu.
