Administrative/Biographical History Element

"Baton Rouge and New Orleans are the two major cities in south Louisiana where Chinese folk dancers practice and perform on a regular basis for traditional Chinese holiday celebrations and international cultural events. Three well-organized groups are the Chinese Sunshine Dance Group in Baton Rouge, the dancers of Chinese Friendship Association in Baton Rouge, and the dancers of the Academy of Chinese Studies in New Orleans."
