The Spectrum Performing Arts Association (SPAA) is proud to announce our latest community initiative: "Rhythms of Mississauga." Supported by the Mississauga Arts Council (MAC), this project brings professional-grade Chinese classical and folk dance to the heart of our city.

Our Vision

This project aims to bridge traditional Eastern aesthetics with Mississauga’s vibrant multicultural landscape. Through a series of specialized workshops and a grand public showcase, we provide a platform for local dancers to elevate their skills and for the public to experience the profound beauty of Chinese performing arts.

Featuring Guest Artist: Lian Wang

We are honored to collaborate with Lian Wang, a distinguished dance educator and choreographer. A Master’s graduate of the Beijing Dance Academy and founder of Lotus Dance Academy, Lian brings over 20 years of expertise to this project. Her leadership ensures that "Rhythms of Mississauga" maintains the highest standards of artistic excellence and technical precision.

Community Impact

Professional Mentorship: Local artists gain rare access to advanced "Body Rhyme" (Shen Yun) and character-building dance techniques.

Cultural Preservation: We celebrate and preserve rich heritage through authentic choreography and storytelling.

Public Engagement: The project culminates in a free community performance, inviting all Mississauga residents to witness the power of movement and tradition.

Join us as we dance toward a more connected and culturally enriched community.
