Duke Chinese Dance (DCD)
The Duke Chinese Dance (DCD) is an organization of students with a passion for dance and dedication towards presenting Chinese culture to the Duke, Durham, and surrounding North Carolinian communities. There are 52 minority groups in China, each of which emerged from centuries of civil war and diplomacy-induced cultural exchanges with unique traditions that inspire art and dance styles rarely seen by most American audiences. To showcase the incredible complexity, grace, and creativity of Chinese dance and the diversity of Chinese culture, we have expanded our repertoire in the past few years to feature minority dance styles alongside popular Han ribbon and fan dances.
