On November 20th, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) helped at Mayo Performing Arts Center (100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960) for the 2022 Purple Swans Song and Dance Charity Gala.
Dancing into the Dawn. By popular request, Purple Swans is coming to Mayo Performing Arts Center this fall after their highly praised performance of “Dancing under the Harvest Moon” Song-and-Dance Charity Gala in 2019, which raised $11,684 for Mental Health Association in New Jersey and dedicated to Youth Mental Health First Aid. Purple Swans’ brand new show integrates Chinese indigenous and classical dances with dance traditions from other parts of the world. Audiences will experience a grand celebration of various Chinese ethnic cultures and value as well as the Chinese American singers’ and dancers’ vocal and choreographic interpretation to eastern and western performing arts.
Mission Statement: Enrich the community by connecting the East and the West and promoting cultural exchange through intercultural performing arts.
The Purple Swans Corporation is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by a group of dance professionals and enthusiasts. With an objective to create a positive impact in peoples’ lives and promote Chinese performing arts within the community, the group has produced many memorable classic performances in the greater New York area. Founding members are accomplished professionals from a variety of fields including finance, technology, education, and art, who dedicate their time to this great cause.
