Dance and dance education: developing dance education in Hong Kong and in mainland China

The following areas form the basis of my public work. Dance Education, evidenced by education work in Western Theatrical Dance, Natural Movement (re-titled knowledge through dance), Western Folk Dance, Ballroom and Latin American Dance. Repositioning dance within the culture of Hong Kong and China through dance promotion and advocacy, evidenced by production of the weekly half-hour Rediffusion Television program Let’s Dance from 1965 to1967, choreography for local musical films, and serving in advisory capacities for professional dance companies, organizations, and publications. Productions in Hong Kong and China of Ballroom and Latin American Dance demonstrations, competitions (both amateur and professional) and performances. Work as impresario/coordinator of productions of traditional cultures of China and internationally. Development of funding strategies and donors for non-profit events and organizations. Developing understanding of Chinese culture at home and abroad, and Western culture in Hong Kong and China evidenced by development of working relationships, links, networks, and partnerships between Hong Kong, the Mainland, and internationally.
