HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Bring the whole family to welcome the Year of the Golden Rat! It’s our annual Chinese New Year celebration with brand-new dance and music from New Jersey’s famed Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company.

NJPAC’s Lizzie & Jonathan Tisch Stage at Victoria Theater will be transformed into a stunning garden of flowers, along with majestic dragons, acrobatic lions, elegant peacocks, twirling ribbons and much more to dazzle your senses.

Acclaimed choreographer Nai-Ni Chen and her exquisite dancers are known for fusing American modern dance with the grace, splendor and discipline of Asian art. The production will transport you beyond cultural boundaries to a place where tradition meets innovation.
