About
SHAN9 Chinese Dance Drama Society is a student organization at UCLA
that conveys China's rich history and folk culture through dance drama composed of Chinese traditional and folk dances. Our performances string together a continuous and complete narrative that immerses audiences in specific regions, eras, and beliefs. Our artistic approaches are diverse, drawing inspiration from exquisite paintings, captivating books, legendary figures, or ancient myths. Through these various perspectives, we deeply explore and experience the essence of Chinese culture.
The club's own words, from UCLA's directory (2025).
