Delegates from the Beijing Dance Academy visited UTAR Sungai Long Campus on 4 April 2016. Visiting on behalf of the Beijing Dance Academy were its Head of Dance Teaching and Research Office Assoc Prof Yu Xiao Xue and the Head of Administrative Office Dr Xue Li Li.

The main objectives of the visit were to look for future collaboration between both universities in the aspect of student and staff exchange programme and to discuss on future co-operation in incorporating the cultures of both countries into a dance performance. Besides that, both universities hoped to have future joint research collaboration.
Prof Yu said, “We look forward to future opportunities in areas such as a partnership in organising a dance performance which incorporates Malaysia’s culture and China’s culture into its dance moves.”
“We welcome students and teachers from Beijing Dance Academy to come for an exchange programme, whereby the teachers may come here to teach UTAR students various dance classes, while students are encouraged to participate in the English programmes offered by our Centre for Extension Education,” said Prof Chuah.
