South Florida Chinese Performing Arts Group

About US

Chinese Performing Arts Group, CASEC (CPAG 中华表演艺术团) was established in 2009. Currently it has two teams - Swans Dance Groupe(天鹅舞队) and Sunshine Musical Ensemble(阳光乐队). There are approximately 20 members with about half of them in each group. Its mission is to promote Chinese arts and culture, as well as serving as a bridge between local Chinese organizations, and the other social communities in South Florida.

The group was founded and led by our Director, Ms. Monica Shang/孟锦红, a former TV hostess of the local Chinese language teaching program for Channel 19 of T.E.N. (The Education Network, 2004-2008). She was also the Founding President for CLTA-FL (Chinese Language Teachers’ Association-FL) and a former president for CASEC (Chinese Association of Science, Education and Culture of S. FL). She has been on Board of several Chinese and American organizations for a couple of decades. She currently serves as vice president of Women's Charity Fundation of Florida.

The Group is truly an assembly of life-loving, open-minded, and multi-talented Chinese performing arts pursuers. The Music Team has been actively preparing for all kinds of occasions while the Dance Team has been in training weekly for the past 5 years.

The group has organized and participated in more than 10 shows each year. Their footprints have been all over S. Florida from Vero Beach to Greater Miami area. Their programs include but are not limited to Chinese folk(and/or ballet) dances, poems and songs, traditional and contemporary Chinese(and/or western) musical instruments, and Chinese Taichi(and/or KungFu) demonstrations. They have been warmly and highly appreciated by the audiences from all walks of life at different age.
