The Chinese Student Club held its annual Lunar Gala culture show on Saturday night in front of a full house. CSC showed many of their old favorites and even tried some new acts.

The producers had a lot to say about this year's show as Angela Zhang explained the theme as the "Muse." "In Chinese culture we have a lot of things that inspire us," she said, "I think LG just really wanted to show the inspirations that stem from the Chinese culture." Zhang also described the various acts that were performed: "We have a singing group, Chinese yo-yo, traditional instruments, Lion Dance, Kung Fu, and Raw Elementz. And then we have a modern dance company called "Nie-ni-Chen" Dance Company, and then we have some fashion show people coming as well." CSC tried something new this year as well. Lucas Xi, the other producer, said, "One thing we tried to focus more on this year's show is the art show. In the back of the room we have a light show. And this year, actually, the show is trying to be seamless.

The audience took notice of CSC's new take on the show and enjoyed it as well. When asked, a student said "It was really entertaining. The modern dance was really cool. I thought it was very well put together." A lot of students "liked the Chinese yo-yo." One student went on to say "I think the audience reacted a lot to the yo-yo dancers." A former head of CSC two years ago commented and said, "It was awesome. It was the best LG I've seen in the four years I've been at Columbia. I think the best part about the show was how seamless it was."

Anyone who missed the show can catch it on the CSC website.
