The teacher is amazing. She never let Joan's personality be in the way of her teaching. The teacher is always positive, calm, happy, and humorous in her class. In the long run, Joan feels very comfortable with her teacher. Joan admires and respects her teacher because she never judges Joan for her personality. She recognizes her improvement. The teacher is flexible, experienced, and pleasant to learn from.

Thank you to the teachers and staff of Shen Yun Arts Proficiency Assessment Center (APAC) for their hard work and enthusiastic help. Shen Yun APAC provides authentic Chinese classical dance to many children who wish to learn the dance. The teachers at the center are world-class artists and people of faith with universal values of truth, kindness, and tolerance. They are very professional and patient in teaching and instructing our children. As parents, we are very happy that our children have been given this opportunity to learn. Under the teachers' guidance, my child has not only improved his dance skills but also developed good form and temperament. He is more focused, calm, and able to endure hardships than before.

I am very grateful to Shen Yun Arts Proficiency Assessment Center (APAC) for providing us with the opportunity to learn online. It breaks the boundaries of geography and time. The online classes are systematic and standardized. Thanks to the teachers' sincerity and patience, my child was not only able to learn authentic classical Chinese dances and the traditional cultural meanings associated with them but also to learn Shen Yun's special rhythm and feeling of dance, “yun-lü”.

The teacher integrates the aesthetics of classical dance into the teaching, which promotes the continuous and rapid improvement of my daughter’s interests. The teacher's dedication reflects a high sense of responsibility, excellence in the details of children's movements, meticulousness and responsibility, and great patience, which makes us parents admire the teacher. In each lesson, the teacher will perfectly match the music to each movement of the dance and give my daughter a demonstration. She can hear the teacher's explanation of the decomposition movement clearly, which is very helpful for her to understand and remember the key movements. Thanks for the teacher's hard work and diligent preparation for each class.

Ms. Yen Hsiu Chen is very gentle, smiling, and responsible. The atmosphere of the class is relatively relaxed. When my child made a mistake in dancing or repeatedly couldn't remember, she would correct and instruct her over and over again without ever losing her temper. My child likes her very much and is not afraid to go to class anymore. The teacher taught the movements and combinations from simple to deep, step by step, from the general to the details. The homework was less stressful and she eventually learned and remembered it. Thank you very much, Ms. Yen Hsiu Chen!

As a relative beginner, I was initially apprehensive about whether I could learn dance through online classes, but I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Shen Yun Arts Proficiency Assessment Centre. The customer service team dealt with my questions with promptness and kindness. The Level 2 course has been carefully structured, gradually building correct foundations of understanding and flexibility training. My instructors have delivered each lesson with wonderful clarity and expertise. They are thoughtful and generous with their knowledge and have often helped my learning by discussing broader dance principles and cultural context. As a professional classical rider, I have been waiting for many years for the opportunity to learn classical Chinese dance from Shen Yun dancers, after seeing their sublime artistry on stage. The course has profoundly changed my understanding of my own art, for which I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend it!
