Celebrate the year of the Rooster with costumed folk dances, Lion Dance, and traditional arts & crafts. For the third year in a row, the New York Chinese Cultural Center (NYCC) brings its signature program to the Queens Museum.

2-3pm: NYCC Performance Program<\/p>\n

Featuring Kung fu demonstration, Chinese ritual percussion music, dances from China\u2019s diverse regions and ethnic groups, signature performances include run-ins with a mischievous lion, classical songs played by traditional Chinese instruments, and lively renditions of our award-winning red ribbon dance.<\/p>\n

3-4pm: Hands-on Artmaking Workshop<\/p>\n

An instructor from the NYCCC will demonstrate the art of Chinese calligraphy. Guests can try out the art and take home simple Chinese characters they have written themselves. The history of Chinese calligraphy is as long as that of China itself. It is one of the highest forms of Chinese art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
