Join the PVCC Dance Program for an evening of dance featuring the personal stories of students, faculty and guest artists. The dance concert will include ballet, modern dance and Jazz styles.

Desert Dance Theatre will perform as guest artists in Paradise Valley Community College’s Spring Dance Collection, “Personal Stories in Motion” featuring “Box Dance,” an excerpt from HT Chen & Dancers’
South of Gold Mountain and “Inside the Outer Corners” choreographed by Lisa R. Chow with original music performed live by Step Raptis.

South of Gold Mountain is an interpretation based on the images and oral histories of the Chinese that settled in the southern states prior to WWII. Early Chinese settlers refer to the United States as “Gold Mountain”, a term deriving from the Gold Rush era. Lesser known were the Chinese who came to the southern states to work on plantations, widen the Augusta Canal, or build the railroads. The BOX DANCE pays tribute to the livelihoods of Chinese grocers who persevered to make a difference in the communities they lived in.

H.T. Chen is a leading choreographer, performer and arts advocate. Through his company, H.T. Chen & Dancers, he has created a body of work that gives poetic voice to Asians in America. H.T. Chen is a graduate of the University of Chinese Culture, The Juilliard School’s Dance Division, and NYU’s Dept of Dance Professions, where he received his MA in Dance Education.
