Founded in September by artisans, parents and other members of the Chinese community in the Twin Cities, the Center for Chinese Culture (3C) is a community-based nonprofit organization that promotes the learning and appreciation of Chinese culture and arts, including music, drama, dance and kungfu.

Part of its mission and the reward for its members -- is to share its work and talent with the community at large. 		The 3C Chinese Dance Theater, with about 100 performers from 6 years olds to adults, loves to perform Chinese dances at:
  • Chinese New Year celebrations
  • Diversity events
  • Cultural activities
  • Birthday bashes
  • Special occasions
  • Corporate events
