Founded in 2018, International Performing Arts of America (IPAA) is a Bay Area-based non-profit dance organization dedicated to celebrating international culture, with a focus on East Asian traditions through dance and choreography. Our group comprises professionally trained dancers, including graduates of the Beijing Dance Academy, who are well-versed in Chinese classical and folk dance, ethnic dance, ballet and other forms. Coming from diverse backgrounds, our team bonds over dance as our common language to communicate with the world.
We are dance enthusiasts passionate about connecting people through dance and various art forms. Since our inception, we have been organizing an annual 2.5-hour Arts Festival, featuring approximately 60 original IPAA technical productions and showcasing approximately 40 talented guest performing art groups thus far to promote international culture. We are also active in participating in community engagements and prominent events such as the annual ZGZG New Year Gala, World Arts West Dance Festival, and the Peninsula International Dance Festival.
