Xiao Yan Huang (Elim) comes from the city of Chengdu, a city with picturesque scenery and famous for beautiful ladies. Elim is a typical Chengdu lady – gorgeous with extraordinary vibrancy . Dancers like to call her “Swallow” since her name Xiao Yan means “little swallow” in Chinese, just like the way she dances: agile, lively and graceful.
Elim loves singing and dancing. Nothing can stop her from pursuing her dream of performing. She is never late for weekly training as she believes that every movement requires practice and accuracy. Elim knows crystal clear that one has to be able to express her soul in order to give a great performance. Every performance for Elim is a precious journey of expressing herself and sharing happiness as well as passion to the audience. She enjoys being on stage, hearing the applause, feeling proud and confident.
Elim is luminous on stage and graceful off stage. Years of training as a dancer has given her great taste and perfect shape. High heel shoes are Elim’s icon. In one cold winter evening, Elim was at the Opera House to watch a show. While others were wearing coats and hats, Elim was still in her mini skirt and iconic high heels. Standing under the lights, against the harbour, the little swallow was the super model. That night, Sydney harbour would remember the girl named Xiao Yan, a beautiful lady with gorgeous long legs and iconic shinning high heels.
Elim believes her beauty comes from her happiness and passion towards life. Changing hair styles, cooking for besties, recording songs, loving being busy around her husband and lovely children, Elim is such a versatile lady. Her rich and colourful life has gifted Elim an amazingly young appearance though she is already a mother of two children!
Apart from the love towards dancing and passion for life, as a member of Australian society, Elim is keen in contributing to the nation she loves deeply. Since she joined the Sydney Chinese Dance Group ten years ago, Elim has participated in all kinds of performances and shows, contributing with her dances to the promotion of Australian multiculturalism and the relationship between China and Australia. This is Elim, the little swallow Xiao Yan, who dances for us wholeheartedly.
