Within the Sydney Chinese Dance Group, Christine Huang is one of the younger dance members who joined the dance group in 2010, at an early age of 14. Born in Sydney, she has maintained her passion and skills for dance through a wide variety of dance styles, ranging from ballet, contemporary to modern. During the later year of 2010, Christine joined the Sydney Chinese Dance Group, with considerable experience, in hopes of gaining a greater understanding of the Chinese culture and knowledge while further developing on her technical dance skills.
With a height 170cm, Christine is a talented, graceful and elegant dancer whose youthful spirit has captured the attention of many among audiences within dance performances. She is competent in both the English and Chinese language, while remaining a high-level of proficiency in academics at school. Christine is a quiet, attentive and hardworking student, aiming to improve her dance abilities through her commitment and endurance every week to dance.
In 2012, she represented the Sydney Chinese Dance Group in a workshop, held by the Cultural Performing Arts Network, CPAN, which included a face-to-face audition with industry professionals. Along with another young member, Jessie, they performed the internationally recognisable Chinese dance, the “Blue Peacock”, which can be viewed on their website.
Christine has also performed in many exciting dance performances, including “Flower Goddesses of the Tang Dynasty” and shows held in Parramatta Riverside and Leagues Club, council functions and many more. Many of which, she has entertained audiences with her modern solo piece, “Lighting Up”, a dance of strength and dynamism.
In 2014, Sydney Chinese Dance Group was invited to perform at the Multicultural March Dinner on Harmony day, hosted by the Premier of NSW, with special requests for the famous White Peacock Dance, a dance piece based on the imitations of this elegant and beautiful animal. This event celebrated cultural diversity, with an evening of multicultural food, fashion and performances. Christine was more than willing to represent Sydney Chinese Dance Group in the promotion of the rich and vibrant Chinese culture.
Since joining the dance group, Christine has explored her passion for dance as more than a hobby, but also a challenge she has taken part of that has allowed her to grow as a person. Through her endurance and determined spirit, she continues to spread the Chinese culture, introducing it to the Australian community through the representation of both modern and traditional Chinese dance.
