The Academy's timeless vision of valuing diversity, is first and foremost presented in the dances performed.  Each dance captures the unique culture and way of life of one of the 56 ethnic minorities who live in China.  Each performer portrays not only the dance form that is characteristic of an ethnic minority, but seeks to reconstruct the mood and essence of that culture.  

Madame Cindy Yang, the Academy's Artistic Director,  aims to further develop this unique style of dance and choreography, and in time, to create a dance that incorporates a Canadian perspective.  With the philosophy that the world is our classroom, Madame Yang actively seeks to learn from all cultures.
