Ruby and Steve
Luan - District Community Heroes Nomination
By: Katherine
Leung
As beloved staples in our community, Ruby and Steve Luan have spent
the better part of 15 years dedicated to teaching hundreds of
community members enriching Yuan Chi dance and exercise classes.
They are true examples of Community Heroes in our neighborhood and
district. No matter rain nor shine, Ruby and Steve show up on time,
every time for their community classes. In fact, not even injury can
keep this couple from meeting the demands of their rigorous teaching
schedule. Two years ago, Ruby suffered from a fall that injured one
of her legs, making it difficult for her to move independently.
Still, together, Ruby and Steve found a way to continue teaching, by
helping Ruby walk with a cane and teach class from a seated
position. Additionally, the work that Ruby and Steve have put into
the community have produced numerous pupils that eventually went on
to become teachers themselves. This has spurred new classes to open
up and make the traditional and healthy art of Yuan Chi more
accessible to the everyone in the community. Ruby and Steve have
selflessly dedicated themselves to the community by teaching the art
of Yuan Chi and are very much deserving of the Community Heroes
award in this district.
