About Austin Chinese Dance Company
Founded in the Fall of 2014, Austin Chinese Dance Company represents a passionate community of University of Texas Austin students united by a shared mission: to share Chinese culture with the world through dance. This student-led organization has grown into a vibrant cultural hub where members collaborate to celebrate the richness of Chinese artistic traditions while building meaningful connections within the Austin, TX community.
At its heart, Austin Chinese Dance Company is about more than just performance—it's about cultural exchange, artistic growth, and community building. The members of ACDC come together as students at the University of Texas at Austin with a deep commitment to preserving and promoting Chinese dance heritage. They understand that dance is a universal language capable of bridging cultures and creating shared understanding. By welcoming all levels of dancers and performers, the organization embodies an inclusive philosophy that values participation and passion over experience.
What sets Austin Chinese Dance Company apart is their comprehensive approach to Chinese dance education and performance. They don't limit themselves to a single style or era; instead, they embrace the full spectrum of Chinese dance traditions—from time-honored classical forms to contemporary folk interpretations and modern explorations. This diversity reflects the organization's belief that Chinese culture is living and evolving. Serving the Austin, TX area since 2014, ACDC continues to provide opportunities for students to connect with their heritage, learn from one another, and share the beauty of Chinese dance with audiences throughout the community.
