Sisi spent her childhood living with her conservative State Chief Justice grandpapa, in China, and liberal, warm and outgoing grandmama because both her parents are busy university professors. In her dancing classes, you might find Sisi a serious teacher providing clear instructions and solid encouragement. Yet be prepared for her room-freezing deadpan quotes. After spending 1/5 of her law school time playing softball, she graduated and worked as an in-house counsel. 

Sisi has a lot of stage performance experiences ever since her kindergarten years doing solos and group dances. She has danced Irish steps for 15 years but has never won any international prizes. Her favorite Irish dance sets are Blackbird (Molyneaux) and Vanishing Lake. She is a member of IAMPETH, writing uncial, gothic, engrosser’s script, ornamental penmanship. Recently, she is smitten with offhand flourishing. 

Sisi is incredibly thankful to Log Art Dance for this invaluable educating opportunity. She will work smart to enhance students' dance skills.
