As shared by Lower, Middle, and Upper School Chinese teacher Amy Liao:
On Monday, October 26, eighth and 10th graders studying Chinese had a
fun-filled local engagement trip to Chinese Culture and Community Center
(CCACC) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Students learned Tai Chi martial art and
classical sword fighting forms and techniques from passionate and engaging
teachers.
Students listened to live Chinese opera music from MeiJing Chinese
Opera Society. Following the performance, students then had the opportunity to enhance their artistry in
fan dance by trying out new dance movements. As you may recall, the premiere of
the Chinese fan dance at the Holton Mosaic event made quite an impression on everyone.
The girls then wrapped up their trip by having an authentic Chinese lunch from Seven Seas Restaurant in Rockville, Maryland, and shared stories
with local residents and participating members of CCACC.
