恒达舞蹈学院于一九九三年十一月在美国华盛顿州西雅图正式成立,它是美国西北地区第一所以教授中国舞蹈为主的艺术院校,目前主院址设在环境优美、地点便捷、佔地一万两千迟的表尔威及西雅图华埠。 The Hengda Dance Academy was formally established in November 1993 in Seattle, Washington, USA. It is the first art college in the Northwest that teaches Chinese dance. The main campus is currently located in a beautiful environment and convenient location.
Hing Hay Park is nestled in the heart of the Chinatown-International District Neighborhood. In 2018 the community celebrated the park expansion, renovation and new iconic artistic gateway. The award-winning park doubled in size and includes a cultural performance space, with custom integrated seating. Terrace-like stairs lead down from the Maynard Street side of the park to a red brick square with an ornate Grand Pavilion designed and constructed in Taipei, Taiwan, which is the focal point for the east side of the park. Artwork on an adjacent building features a dragon in a depiction of Asian-American history in the Northwest. Beyond the Grand Pavilion stretches the expanded park plaza with flowering trees, cafe tables, and decorative staircases featuring lighted Asian iconic figures. Outdoor fitness equipment provides exercise spots against the bright yellow privacy wall. In 2019, an artistic lantern designed and crafted by George Lee was installed. Celebrate Happiness is engraved on the lantern and projected from the lantern in many languages. Hing Hay literally translates to “Celebrate Happiness Public Park” and figuratively translates in to “Park for Pleasurable Gatherings,” the park honors both these translations. Hing Hay Park is a popular for martial arts practitioners, quiet morning meditations, a meeting place for local families, and the center of many festivals, including annual Lunar New Year and Summer Dragonfest celebrations.
HSD was created by the Washington State Legislature in 2007 as the first community preservation and development authority in the state to respond to impacts from ongoing construction of major public facilities, public works, and capital projects in both neighborhoods. It is governed by a board of directors with representation from a broad range of stakeholders from both neighborhoods- business interests, residents, arts organizations, non-profits, history and culture and local government.
