🌟 Motivation Monday 🌟

This week, let your soul speak through your actions, just as Martha Graham said: “Dance is the hidden language of the soul.” 💃🕺

Whether you’re facing challenges or celebrating victories, remember that there is power in expressing yourself—sometimes without words. Your passion, your energy, and your movements are all reflections of the strength within you. ✨

This week, dance through whatever comes your way—embrace the rhythm of life, and let your soul guide you to new heights. 💪

Throwback to 8 years ago! 🌟

We had the incredible opportunity to witness the lead soloists from the Shanghai Dance Theatre up close! ✨ These award-winning dancers took us behind the scenes of their gold medal-winning choreography “Overflow, Slowly 漫，慢” and “Dai Village Girls in Dai Village Rain 傣家女孩傣家雨.” What an experience—and what a workout it was! 💪

A huge thank you to Monica Pain of Flato Markham Theatre for offering us this rare and amazing chance to connect with the magic of Shanghai Dance Theatre.

Throwback Thursday🌟 **4 Years Ago: A Story of Warmth in the Coldest Times** ❄️

Amid the darkest days of the pandemic, our team refused to let hope fade. ❤️🔥 During a freezing Chinese New Year (-20°C!), when so many were isolated, our incredible artist **AAD Jiapei Ma** had a bold idea: to spark joy right from her front yard! �

Dressed in vibrant traditional costumes, she danced, laughed, and shared light with those feeling alone—**braving the cold to warm hearts**. 🩰💃 Her courage and passion still inspire us today.

To Jiapei and every team member who turns challenges into moments of connection: **THANK YOU**. You remind us that even in the coldest seasons, kindness can melt barriers. ❄️➡️💧

🎉 **Who else remembers this moment?** Tag someone who brings light to your world! 👇

Happy Monday! Throwing it back to an unforgettable performance—still creating dances with the same passion! 🤍

“Traction” is an expression of the choreographer’s sentiment to the current state of society and our chaotic world. The tension of the red strings symbolizes the interplay between passion and endless desire, to which human-kind is held captive. By severing the red strings, the choreographer escapes from the present state of affairs to examine her role in society at this height of human suffering. Through this journey of introspection, the choreographer aims to discover solace and attain inner peace.
