A Quote from Nai-Ni Chen

Traditional Chinese dance, the training I had since I was four years old, involves the entire Chinese culture, not just its dance steps. The western modern dance I learned about is not just Martha Graham technique or José Limon technique; to me, modern dance is an entire way of thinking, of freedom, of expression. Besides learning the two different dance cultures, I tried to learn how people think and find ways to express the dynamic spirit of our changing world.
