The predecessor of Shenyang Conservatory of Music Dance Academy can be traced back to the “Northeast Lu Xun Academy of Literature and Art Dance Training Class” established in Shenyang, 1948. The Department of Dance was established in 1988 to provide higher dance professional education. Undergraduate dance education was founded in 1995 and the Dance Academy was established on the basis of the Department of Dance in 2005. In 2006, our school was approved by the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council to confer a master’s degree in dance. Thus, it has formed a tertiary dance art education system with articulated undergraduate and postgraduate education and is an educational base for cultivating undergraduate dance art talents in Liaoning province, a senior dance art college that provides dance performance, education, creation and research talents. There are more than 1000 students and 276 teachers at present.
