About Us
The Cindy Yang Dancing Society of Vancouver, Canada, is a registered BC non-profit society directed to advance Chinese cultural and artistic education by providing standardized courses, instructional seminars, and intercultural workshops of Chinese classical, ethnic, and folk dance in Canada. The Society was established by Madam Cindy Yang in 1994. During her lifetime, Madam Yang was an active member of society, dedicating much of her time to supporting charitable causes in various means. Today, the Society carries on Madam Yang’s legacy in philanthropic endeavours through community performances and special programs that aim to foster the growth of Chinese dance and culture.
Cindy Yang Memorial Fund

The fund operates under the supervision of a committee composed of elected members of the Society who are students, instructors, and parent volunteer representatives.
