Elven Koo started dancing at the young age of four under the guidance and teaching of Ms. Chi Ping Lau. She has been involved with promoting Chinese dance for many years with the Chi-Ping Dance Group, traveling and performing across Canada, including cities such as Halifax and Ottawa, and overseas, including cities such as Beijing, Macau, and Mexico. Her passion is to bring the beauty and diversity of Chinese classical and ethnic dance to the public. To continue with her passion in cultural arts, she founded CCAA with other founding members, initially as the Membership Director. As CCAA has grown over the years, this demanded a need for a Director to focus CCAA’s programs, hence starting in 2013, a new Director position was added to the Board. As Program Director, Elven is responsible for planning and overseeing CCAA events.
