He said that Hsinlei Art School has performed brilliantly at various international events and won much acclaim. He hoped that this time would bring smiles and confidence and once again win glory for Hsinchu County. He said that, if a certain level of performance is achieved, any outstanding arts or cultural group in the county will be recommended for overseas performance to promote the county internationally.
Hsinlei Artschol’s artistic director Wang Ren-ho thanked Magistrate Chiu and Bureau of Culture director Tsai Rong-guang for building a bridge for people to people diplomacy and providing children who love to dance a chance to perform in other countries and, in doing so, raising their aspirations and widening their international vision, not only entertaining overseas Chinese and displaying the vibrant culture of Hsinchu County, but also exchanging with and learning from performing groups from other countries and making friends.
This time, Hsinlei Art School has been invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the 7th Kids' n Fun Festival, which will be held on August 10-20 in Cupertino, California, USA.
