Margaret Yuen

The Art of Storytelling by Think!Chinatown

Margaret Yuen is a Chinese dancer and teacher in Manhattan’s Chinatown. She founded the Young Dancers of Chinatown in 1979 and the Red Silk Dancers in 1985 to share Chinese dance with the community, through performances and free classes. Margaret came in to share with one of her first Chinese dance students, Amy Chin, the long journey of being fearless to pursue her love for Chinese dance in China to then share with her community back home here in Chinatown.
