Our mission is to promote the ancient Chinese sport of dragon boat racing within the community, fostering team building, friendship, and a healthy lifestyle.

Founded in 1980 by a devoted group of women, the CAACF Dance Troupe was born to celebrate and share Chinese culture through movement, music, and storytelling. Our purpose is to promote Chinese cultural heritage and build community connections through performances — using the art of traditional Chinese dance to engage audiences of all backgrounds.
