World
Steps Series Features Shirley Chen and Dancers Oct. 7
Clark
County Parks and Recreation’s World Steps dance series
continues with Chinese dance at 2 p.m. Oct. 7 at
Winchester Cultural Center, 3130 S. McLeod Drive.
Shirley Chen and Dancers will present the performance.
Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for children and
seniors.
Shirley
Chen graduated from the University of California, Los
Angeles with a degree in dance and helped to establish
the American Chinese Dance Association, which schedules
many performances and cultural functions throughout the
year to promote Chinese culture. Chen created Shirley
Chen and Dancers in 1992 after returning from an
inspirational trip to Taiwan.
Chen
moved to the Las Vegas Valley in 1995 and continued her
efforts to teach Chinese dance and promote her culture.
She and her dancers perform and lecture at various
elementary, middle and high schools, universities, local
libraries and events held by the City of Las Vegas and
Clark County.
The
World Steps series was created in response to requests
by those who enjoyed Winchester Cultural Center’s
World Vibration music series. Both showcase the rich
cultural talent of the people who make Las Vegas home.
The World Steps series continues with Brazilian dance on
Nov. 4.
