A Life of Dance

Putting family first

After that sleepless night in Spain, Chang knew she had to return to her family. Doing so could have meant the end of her professional life, but to her surprise, it was only the beginning. Back in Taiwan, she continued to perform on TV. At one point, she was able to go to Japan and continue studying dance -- with her dcance teacher from Spain. But dance was becoming less important in her life. Her beloved family was growing, and in 1984 they imigrated to the United States.


There, she lived with four generations of her family, eventually caring for her grandchildren. Though she continued to produce dance shows, it looked as though her dancing days were over. But in 2007, while listening to her granddaughter play the piano, Chang started to dance again. Her family saw her dancing and encouraged her to return to Spain and continue with her training. Years before, Little Rabbit had chosen her family over her dreams. But now, with her family's enthusiastic support, she has returned to her dream of becoming a world-class dancer.
