Welcome to the Little Lotus Troupe Website
The Little Lotus Troupe, led by Ms. Hè XiaoSong, made their debut in the fall of 2004, with dances and even fashion shows where they displayed their colorful Chinese outfits including the "cheong sam" or as it is known in China: "qi pao", a traditional Chinese formal dress for women.
The performance group was organized to offer a unique opportunity for children of Chinese heritage to learn and enjoy traditional and contemporary dance as well as other Chinese Performing arts.
The Little Lotus Troupe consists of 19 girls ranging from 5 to 13 years old. Classes consist of stretching exercises and warm-ups, followed by instruction in dance technique then learning and perfecting their dances. In addition, several hours are spent learning how to walk properly and model clothing in preparation for their fashion shows.
The little Lotus troupe performs at Chinese New Year celebrations in Charlotte, Davidson and Myrtle Beach, SC. They also perform at the "Festival in the Park", the Asian Festival and Dragon Boat Races at Lake Norman, the Children’s Arts Festival in South End and UNCC's IFest, among others.
The girls share pride in their Chinese heritage and have a special relationship with each other, much like sisters.
