About
Based in Los Angeles, Yaya Dance Academy bridges Eastern and Western cultures through dance, helping American-born Chinese students connect with their cultural roots and identity. The academy, with campuses in Rowland Heights, Irvine and Torrance, fosters personal growth alongside technical skill, aiming to cultivate individuals who contribute meaningfully to society.
The group performing in the 65th Annual L.A. County Holiday Celebration consists of Elite and Junior Competition Team Members from the Rowland Heights campus. These members undergo rigorous training and represent the academy at prestigious events, including the Lunar New Year Celebration with Pacific Symphony at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall since 2017. Yaya Dance Academy has also earned recognition at the Youth American Grand Prix Finals and was recently invited to the Asian Hall of Fame Gala, marking the first inclusion of dance in the program.
