The Chinese Ethnic and Folk Dance Graded Examination is organized by the Chinese Ethnic and Folk Dance Graded Examination Center. It is an authoritative national-level dance assessment system designed to preserve traditional Chinese culture and promote the rich and diverse folk dance heritage of various ethnic groups.

The examination is based on the Chinese Ethnic and Folk Dance Graded Examination Syllabus, which was officially filed with the Ministry of Culture in 2004 by the China Society of Vocational Education for the Arts. The syllabus was edited by Professor Pan Zhitao from the Beijing Dance Academy, with contributions from hundreds of experts from leading arts institutions, professional dance companies, and national intangible cultural heritage inheritors. It is highly regarded for its academic depth and professional authority.

The exam includes dances from a variety of ethnic groups such as Tibetan, Mongolian, Korean, Dai, and Han. It is structured across 12 graded levels, with content covering basic techniques, skill combinations, and complete dance pieces. The program is suitable for students of all ages to develop their skills in a progressive and systematic way.

Students who pass the examination will receive an official certificate, which is nationally recognized and can be used as a valuable credential for art specialty applications, academic advancement, and performing arts admissions.
