10周年 | 以梦为马 主题作品展演
Celebrate a decade of rhythm, passion, and cultural expression with Dare to Dream – the first full-length dance showcase by CSSADANCE, Finland’s pioneering Chinese student dance association at Aalto University.
Marking the 10th anniversary of CSSADANCE, Dare to Dream is a bold statement of identity, artistry, and community. From the flowing elegance of traditional Chinese sleeves to the explosive beats of modern K-pop, each piece tells a story of dreams pursued, boundaries broken, and cultures united through movement. This milestone performance is not just a celebration of the past, it’s a bold step into the future!
