After years of dreaming of passing on the beautiful culture of Chinese dance, 琦丽 QiLi Dance Studio started in 2023. We at QiLi Dance Studio are committed to representing the diverse ethnic groups of China while embracing the modern influences in our culture today. Our vision is to provide a quality dance education for all ages. Our classes start from age 4 through adult. One way we are able to accomplish this is by performing at many cultural events and festivals in the Austin area.
