Our Story
The Chinese Folk Dance Association (CFDA) was founded in 1959 by a group of passionate Chinese American immigrants eager to reconnect with their cultural roots. Officially incorporated in 1972, CFDA has dedicated itself to promoting the rich traditions of Chinese culture and dance within the San Francisco community. Over the years, the organization has expanded its artistic offerings, including the establishment of a Chinese instrumental orchestra and a singing group, while collaborating with esteemed instructors from China. Through vibrant performances and cultural exchanges, CFDA nurtures young talent in Chinese dance and music.
