Founded in 1991 by Hwee-Eng Y. Lee, the Atlanta Chinese Dance Company (ACDC) educates and entertains audiences about Chinese and Chinese American history and culture through the art of Chinese dance. The troupe of 100+ dancers has enchanted diverse audiences through National Endowment for the Arts supported full-evening productions as well as community performances, educational lecture-demonstrations, and workshops for schools/universities, performing arts centers, museums, libraries, senior centers, arts festivals, international days, corporate events, military observances, Asian community events, and more throughout metro Atlanta and beyond. Most notably, ACDC helped showcase Atlanta to the world as performers in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1996 Olympic Games.  For more than ten years, they performed the “Chinese variation” in John McFall’s version of the Atlanta Ballet’s The Nutcracker at the Fabulous Fox Theatre
