Exclusive Videos: Classical Chinese Dance Exams

The recently launched Shen Yun Creations streaming library offers never-before-seen content you can watch on demand. Now Shen Yun dance showcase and training videos, Symphony Orchestra recordings, concertos, and dance stories are available to you, right on your computer.

Four newly added videos feature end-of-semester classical Chinese dance exams from advanced classes of Fei Tian College and Fei Tian Academy of the Arts. In these videos, dancers perform a set of training routines they’ve spent countless hours practicing and refining in the studio. Each exam video includes specialized routines focusing on flexibility and control, kicks, shen-fa and shen-yun (form and bearing), as well as technical moves like turns, windmills, and jumps.

While watching these videos, you can:

• discover how classical Chinese dancers train on a daily basis to attain professional mastery
• recognize distinct classical Chinese dance technical moves (with help from the technical moves section of our Classical Chinese Dance page)
• spot some of your favorite Shen Yun performers

Fei Tian College and Fei Tian Academy of the Arts are where most Shen Yun dancers and musicians received their training. Based in New York, the Fei Tian schools offer professional specialized training in the arts, and are dedicated to preserving, promoting, and developing traditional arts through education and performances.

Though relatively young as educational institutes, the schools developed at an incredible pace and came to establish partnerships with Shen Yun Performing Arts, creating innovative programs to nurture young artists.

Exclusive videos of the Academy and the College’s dance exams from May 2021 are only available on the Shen Yun Creations platform.
