Based in Pittsburgh, Yanlai Dance Troupe brings Asian dance to life for our community by funding, producing, and promoting inspiring cultural performances. Through fundraising and community partnerships, we create accessible opportunities for dancers to shine on professional stages while sharing culturally significant works that showcase the beauty, history, and stories of Asian arts, expanding across the world.

Vision Statement

We envision a world where Asian performing arts hold a strong place in our city’s stages, where students have the opportunity to experience the pride of cultural heritage, and where our community can see themselves reflected in the stories we tell. Our vision is to build sustainable support systems that enable larger productions, strengthen cultural representation, and ensure that and Asian dance continue to thrive as a vibrant and celebrated part of the performing arts scene.
