The AAARCC's Lion Dance team and Dragon Dance volunteers performed at Global Fest, a collaborative event presented by the City of West Lafayette, International Center, and Purdue Convocations. 🎉
We performed three parades at 4:45, 5:45, and 7 pm, offering opportunities for attendees to learn about lion dance traditions that symbolize the sharing joy and luck during celebrations.🧧

Fest attendees interacted and took photos with the lion and dragon as they move along the streets with a live drum accompaniment.🦁 The dragon dance was performed by Friends and Volunteers of the AAARCC who shared part of their weekend with us.🐉 Thank you so much, volunteers! Special thank you to the West Lafayette Public Library for generously hosting our preparation at their facility, and Librarian Ashley Fletcher and team for all the help!

✨️The AAARCC's Lion dance team was formed in 2020 to share and learn about this tradition performed in many Asian and Asian American communities.

📩 Are you a @purduestudents interested in joining the Lion dance team, or campus and community partners interested in inviting the team to perform? Email us at aaarcc@purdue.edu to be connected with the team.

As we rock the campuses of Purdue today and tomorrow, we have 4 Mucca Pazza members who are graduates of Indiana’s excellent public university system. People like Rachel; Sam, Dominic, and Akshat are a testament to Indiana’s commitment to excellence in music education. Thanks, @purdueconvos, for the homecoming. (We have even MORE Indiana natives not with us today!)

We had the pleasure of teaching a choreography masterclass for students from Purdue University (West Lafayette, USA) who are currently visiting Germany. We shared our creative process and working methods, and explored practical composition exercises together.

A special thank you to Kat and Renee for the invitation — it was wonderful to finally meet you in person! 🎓💃🕺🏻

P.S.: The last photo is Verena’s Purdue vintage T-shirt from 2000 from the Fort Wayne campus 👕😊
