Youth Gathered to Celebrate Chinese New Year
On February 15, VLA youth joined the “2026 Spring Festival Fair” hosted by Hansen School, presenting a vibrant and creative Chinese New Year gala to welcome the Year of the Horse.

The event opened with an energetic K-pop dance by Rita, Yuki, and Lisa, whose youthful performance instantly ignited the atmosphere. Maria, who hails from Inner Mongolia, followed with a heartfelt rendition of her hometown song The Shepherd, her soaring voice transporting the audience to the vast grasslands. Hansen’s talented youth continued to showcase their artistic strengths: Henry performed the piano piece Childhood Memories, Kimi played the well‑known Yesterday on guitar, and Mikyo delivered a tender and expressive solo of At Least There Is You.
Members of the VLA Youth Committee also contributed their talents. Celine, Mandy, and Rachel offered their New Year wishes through the song 《Ru Yuan》; Audrey’s dance medley captured the joy and spirit of galloping horses; and Celine and Alissa’s mother‑daughter duet China in the Glow of Lanterns added warmth and emotion to the evening.
Beyond performances, the event featured a lively points‑based team competition, dividing the audience into red, yellow, and blue groups. Hansen’s “brightest minds” designed a series of horse‑themed interactive games—including One Stroke to a Horse, What the Horse Says, Non‑Stop Gallop, Hold Your Luck, and Super Horsepower. The fair was filled with laughter, friendly rivalry, and nonstop guessing, immersing everyone in the creativity of the Year of the Horse. The comedy sketch CEO, Please See the Doctor, performed by Dustin, Adrian, and Nathan, brought the excitement to its peak.
The finale featured Terra’s calligraphy showcase, with bright red couplets and various styles of the character “福” lighting up the room. Hansen’s older students then took the stage with a runway show that blended modern flair with traditional charm, carrying Terra’s freshly written New Year blessings to every corner of the world. This fusion of heritage and contemporary style provided a brilliant conclusion to the celebration.
