San Francisco–The traditional dances that used to be exclusively enjoyed by ancient Chinese royalty can now be learned at the Fei Tian Academy of the Arts, California.
Traditional Chinese dance is officially on the syllabus of the Fei Tian Academy, and classes began for grades seven through 12 on March 29. Director of Educational Affairs Lou Hongwei recently spoke to the The Epoch Times about the mission of the school.
Lou said the school’s goal is to promote traditional Chinese culture and to revive authentic classical dance. Students have the opportunity to become accomplished artists of authentic Chinese classical dance. At the same time, the school stresses careful and conscientious teaching, morality, tradition, and creativity.
The school prepares students for the ACT and provides a complete curriculum based on the requirements of the California Department of Education and the standards of the University of California system. “We have planned a comprehensive and detailed curriculum,” Lou said.
