Welcome to
New York Chinese Cultural Center
(新苗文艺中心)
NYCCC is dedicated to deepening the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture in the global and local communities.
The following video is the last of our 50th Anniversary videos celebrating NYCCC in the 2020s! We hope you enjoyed watching our five videos each highlighting a decade in NYCCC's history. For 50 years, we have shared the beauty of Chinese performing and visual arts with communities across the New York tri-state area and the U.S.
Please consider donating to support our work. We need your help to ensure we can continue to share the beauty of Chinese arts with you all and support artists creating new works in Chinese artforms for years to come.
Arts in Education
Performed by professional dancers from Dance China NY, our assembly program showcasing Chinese culture and arts is the best you can find outside of mainland China. It presents the beauty of Chinese dance with full costumes, authentic music, and interactive segments that will engage your students in a fun and educational way.
NYCCC offers individually-designed residencies, workshops, and after school programs in dance, martial arts, Mandarin, and visual arts to fit your schedule, budget, and other requirements. Teachers, trained in Chinese dance, Beijing opera, Mandarin, kung fu, and visual arts, are available for all educational needs, ranging from beginner to professional levels.
