The Chinese American Association of Minnesota's Chinese Dance Theater Is an internationally respected theater company. With a mission to provide cultural, educational, recreational, and other programs to promote the cultural heritage, CAAM also operates a Chinese Language School for students of all ages in reading, writing, and college-level Pin Yin classes. It also offers non-language classes such as painting, Tai Chi, and history.

Theater Mu in Minneapolis takes its name from the Chinese character for the shaman/artist/warrior who connects the heavens and the earth through the tree of life. Melding traditional Asian theater arts forms with Western-style storytelling, the company has staged such works as “The Legend of the White Snake Lady,” based on an ancient Chinese folk legend, and “Song of the Pipa,” which pays homage to a classic Chinese poem.
