With a single look she can make a student behave like an artist.
Eve Hao came from Asia in 1990. A mother and grandmother, she devoted her first six years in Atlanta to raising young children.
“I got my B.A. degree from The Dance Department at the Chinese Cultural University in Taipei, Taiwan,” said Eve. “I began teaching in 1996.”
Over the years, hundreds of students have been taught by Eve. Her average class is 30 students where she instructs them on traditional Chinese and Taiwanese dances.
A participant in the 2014 Atlanta Multicultural Festival, her group’s act went-on last. That is because in all the years they have participated before, attendees loved the Asian Dance portion the most.
“It’s so great to have Eve in our city,” said Lewis H., a volunteer at the festival. “Her student dancers really kept the crowds interested in the show. It’s very visual, and the dancers are well-trained.”
When asked what ages of people take her classes, Eve smiles “The age ranges from 4 years old to 65 years young.”
In her free time, Eve teaches seniors to get out of their chairs and become active. Although a lot of her Asian friends are like her and have been doing some sort of dance their entire lives.
To learn these age-old dances, contact Eve Hao at ehao@bellsouth.net .
