About Us


Phoenix Dance Troupe is Yale's only traditional Asian Dance Troupe on campus. We are non-audition and entirely student-run, with dances choreographed and led by members of the group. Our dancers come together from a variety of backgrounds to celebrate rich and diverse dance traditions from different regions across Asia. Our repertoire spans widely across time and space, including Chinese handkerchief dances, modern ribbon dances, and much, much more.

Over the years, Phoenix has performed at various events on campus and in the neighborhood community. Through its performances, the group hopes to spread both artistic and cultural awareness to both its members and its audiences.

Members participate in numerous big and small traditional dances throughout the year and are also encouraged to choreograph their own pieces.

We welcome dancers of all backgrounds and levels. No experience is necessary! We do not hold auditions. Just show your interest and come aboard!
