The thriving school, located at 70 Mulberry Street in Chinatown, offers classes in different dance styles, as well as lecture/demonstrations, workshops, and even lessons in Chinese history and culture.   During the summer, the organization will also undergo renovations to improve its work spaces, lobby, staircase, and entryway at 70 Mulberry Street, one of Chinatown's historic buildings.
