The Provincial Academy of Art and Dance is very famous. Provincial Art was founded in 1959. After 40 years of construction, reform and development, it has become an important base for training dance talents in Northeast China. Wang Xiaoyan, vice chairman of Jilin Dancers Association, one of the top ten dancers in China across the century, Wang Ju, deputy director of the Cultural Bureau of the anniversary city, a famous choreographer, Hou Ying, winner of the gold medal of Russian international modern dance, Li Chunxia, the star of the dance drama Princess Wencheng, and other well-known dancers all graduated here. Its comprehensive school-running strength has stood in the forefront of national dance education.

Compared with Northeast Normal University, there is only the Conservatory of Music. Although the Conservatory of Music also has a dance department, its professional level is not as good as that of the Provincial Academy of Art and Dance. So dancers are good at saving arts.
