Chinatown Cha-Cha

You don’t age out of fabulous.

At 92, legendary nightclub starlet Coby Yee steps back into the spotlight with the Grant Avenue Follies, a senior Asian American dance troupe reviving the glamour of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Their tour travels across the US, Cuba, and China reclaiming diasporic histories and redefining aging with elegance and pride.

In Havana, a dazzling collaboration sparks cultural revival, while Coby’s return to China becomes a heartfelt farewell to her roots. A moving portrait of resilience, legacy, and identity, this film captures Coby’s final bow, and the enduring power of performance to bridge generations and cultures.

The film won Best International Pitch at Doc Edge Industry 2021.
