In just two months, I learned the new program "Yaosha", integrating the gentle and elegant temperament of oriental women into the dance, beautifying the entire audience! Delicate as silk, elegant as picturesque, it has become the shining star of this competition, ranking first among the top ten!

At the beginning of 2020, the Alberta College of Art won good results in multiple dance competitions such as Rainbrow and Showstopper. This is due to the joint efforts of the school management team, teachers, students, and parents of the Alberta College of Art over the years. The excellent and stable teaching staff is the school’s golden signature. Under the leadership of Principal Lu Lihua, school administrative teacher Jessica King did a lot of meticulous work for students to compete and perform. Young and lively teacher Li Cihui starts children's dance journey and cultivates their interest in dance. Senior teacher Qiu Xiaorong is the benchmark for dance demonstrations in Arizona and is loved by teachers and parents. Professor Chen Wei, who was newly joined in 2019, has put forward higher requirements for children in terms of dance choreography and special training. They have pushed the school's teaching quality to a new height and demonstrated the unique charm of Chinese folk dance to friends in the dance industry across the United States. Once again, warm congratulations to the Art Institute of Alberta and all the winners!
