Illuminations Dance Troupe

Illuminations is Cornell University’s co-ed undergraduate Chinese cultural dance troupe. Founded in 2004, the troupe is committed to sharing Chinese culture, both past and present, through contemporary interpretations of traditional dance. Our members choreograph, teach, and perform a variety of Chinese dances in folk, classical, and fusion styles. Illuminations aspires to use our dances and our showcase as an opportunity to encourage interest in Chinese dance and Chinese culture. We hope that through our performances, we will provide people with more exposure to Chinese dance, and further stimulate interest in Chinese culture.
