Atlanta · Since 2020
Snow Angels Dance Group is an Atlanta-based, non-profit, amateur dance team. We perform a wide range of styles, including Chinese classical and ethnic folk dance, as well as Latin and jazz.
Our group has appeared at NBA events, Fox Atlanta, CNN, Channel 11, and many local festivals and community events. United by a shared love of dance, our mission is to bring joy, connect communities, and share the beauty of Chinese culture through movement.
“Dance doesn't belong only to artists. Folk dance isn't the ‘square dancing’ people picture — and even square dancing can be danced beautifully. What I want to pass on isn't just dance. It's joy.”
Xiaoxue, Snow Angels' teacher, loves dance and has devoted herself to dancing for health. She leads the group in charity performances at companies, schools, senior communities, shopping centers, neighborhoods and tourist sites — sharing joy, friendship and Chinese culture through dance.
From seven or eight people at the start to more than 200 regular dancers today.
Eleven hours of teaching every week, unpaid — year after year, rain or shine.
An Engineer's Dream of Grace
—— Joy G.
I'm an engineer through and through. To me, dance belonged to artists and naturally graceful women, and performing on stage felt out of reach. Square dancing seemed like exercise, not art. I never imagined I would one day perform confidently on an NBA stage.
Snow Angels begin with seven or eight people.
