Classical Chinese Dance Certifications

Overview

With the influence of Shen Yun Performing Arts, more and more audiences have become interested in Chinese dance. As a result, Shen Yun Performing Arts and Fei Tian Academy have built this platform for Chinese dance enthusiasts around the world. The platform offers Chinese dance courses from Level 1 to Level 10. Through this platform, students can learn each level of Chinese dance by receiving live instruction from certified teachers from Shen Yun Performing Arts and Fei Tian Academy. The combination of dance movements at each level will give the student a better understanding of his or her body parts. After passing each level of the exam, candidates will receive certification at that level and will be eligible to move on to the next level. The exams are based on video recordings of each movement combination at this level.
