About the Film: A Dance Through Time and Across Borders

In Chinatown Cha-Cha, acclaimed director Luka Yuanyuan Yang invites audiences to journey alongside 92-year-old Coby Yee — a vibrant, trailblazing nightclub dancer — as she returns to the stage one last time with the senior dance troupe Grant Avenue Follies. This heartwarming documentary follows their farewell tour across Chinese diasporic communities in the United States, Cuba, and China.

What begins as a comeback performance evolves into a heartfelt celebration of resilience, aging with grace, and the enduring power of art to connect generations and cultures. Chinatown Cha-Cha is not just a film; it’s a living bridge that honors history, memory, and movement through every cha-cha step.
