Celebrate the Year of the Ox with an all-vinyl livestream dance party hosted by YiuYiu!

With the red lantern as our disco ball, gather your loved ones under its glow and ring in the new year with our lunar livestream. Featuring melodies from Cantonese opera to Taiwanese pop, this growing archive of family record collections holds precious memories of home that bring us back together, even from afar. YiuYiu pays tribute to her own family and to the longtime Chinatown community members, who have trusted her to keep these musical memories spinning. Sing, sway, and dance along as she takes us on a journey back in time through song. Meet you on the dance floor!

This virtual party is free/pay-as-you-wish and you don’t need to bring anything but your own two feet! Invite your loved ones to dance with you, whether in your home or virtually from afar. Proceeds from the event will go directly toward supporting our non-profit so we can continue our work of storytelling, arts, and neighborhood programming in Chinatown.

Please consider purchasing our Tuan Yuan 團圓 Homecoming Box, which includes materials and ingredients for our other virtual T!C Lunar New Year events, and additional goodies from our partners. Available through Pearl River Mart for a limited time.

YiuYiu aka Rochelle Kwan loves all things audio. She brings together vinyl and storytelling to explore memory through music and foster intergenerational relationships and dancefloors. When she's not behind the turntables, you can find her producing storytelling projects with Think!Chinatown and Self Evident, training students on oral history at Hunter College's Asian American Studies Program, or dancing until the sun comes up (even from home).
