From Jun 8-12, 2025, the dance event organized by the FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY SPORTS OF CHINA (FUSC), came in the city of Zhengzhou, Henan province, China.

When promoted sharply to became a time of historical record-making revelation—also for new and well-founded AXHU Education in this field, the AXHU delegation led by YAN Jingming, professor of sports dance at AXHU School of Art, competed with a unique coalition of sporting spirit and techniques of excellence, and later won 2 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze, while serving up a lot of the ‘centerpiece’ performances during the finals of Latin Dances competition.   

The 5-day event held together more than 1,700 student-athletes from over 180 universities and colleges across China, and the AXHU enrollees’ dancing which couldn’t be duplicated in their evocative, pulsating, elegant manners that win most applause and praise from the judges and spectators during that times.

In particular, the ensemble formed by the current AXHU student ZHANG Zihan and Gong Xingyue, but as the only iconic ‘pivot’ among the Anhui-wide higher education institutions, unleashed their best energy with bold moves, and precise composure, and full confidence to deliver a standout performance at the Top battles of Latin Dance.

Prior to the start of the final days, the AXHU dancers remained committed themselves to the high-pressure training with a goal of “displaying the real level of the ‘beautiful’ sports dance with regard to the most Anhui higher education engagement in recent years,” the team leader Yan observed in the post-match interview.

—And then, everyone in the ballrooms was deeply appreciative of the AXHUers’ moment.

“Anything other than what AXHU administration is to take on traditionally and conventionally, is promoting the new college students’ all-around development in any ways, such as ‘Morality, Intellect, Esthetic, Diligence, Health and Wellness,’ via campus sports culture construction.”

And more particularly as some new turns happened in the well-being AXHU PE subjects: to bring up educational achievements from “Competition-driven teaching and humanistic cultivation,” the innovative practices on campus will educate the current students who, onto some bigger stages, could communicate their youthful positive energies to social culture communities.
