PEILING KAO DANCES

Happy 2020!!!

What a fruitful year of 2019 for PEILING KAO DANCES.

With your support, I was able to put my creative energy and curiosity in my dancing and choreographic works.

I appreciate who came to the performances and donated to the productions.

I am deeply thankful for my collaborators. You all inspired me in so many ways.

And for those who have been encouraging me, questioning me and have always been there whenever I needed guidance, a cry or a laugh, I am wholeheartedly grateful for you.

Thank you!!
