There will be a free workshop in traditional Chinese dance with Nevada Arts Council artist Xian Na Carlson on Monday, Jan. 27, from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall, 511 West King Street. All ages and experience levels welcome.
About the artist: Xian Na Carlson began learning folk dances as a child growing up in Zhangzhou, China. From her aunt she learned the Tuan Shan, (fan dance), the Xin Jiang regional dance and Tai Ji forms.
Those lessons sparked a lifelong interest in sharing Chinese culture through dance, music and the arts. In 1987 she moved from China to the Gardnerville area where she has continued to teach traditional Chinese dances derived from several of the 50 provinces to her own young children as well as others in the community, from kindergartners to adults.
