Performance Opportunities

One of the most unique aspects of Fei Tian Academy of the Arts is the opportunity it affords students to apply the arts skills they have acquired. Students who are deemed qualified by teachers at the Academy are given the chance to enter international competitions and perform with Shen Yun Performing Arts in top theaters around the world.

Students from Fei Tian regularly attend and place at the International Classical Dance Competition, held annually in New York City.

Each competition serves to recognize and celebrate traditional arts originating from or peformed by ethnic Chinese. Students from Fei Tian are given the opportunity to compete with top talent in their artistic areas from around the world, which helps them connect with professionals in their field and exposes them to a wide range of talent from whom they can learn. Additionally, entering the competitions allows students to practice the valuable skill of competitive performance, as each student is required to develop and perform a solo piece.
