The perfect combination between oriental graceful body and the western ballet

Dunhuang Flying Apsaras is a shining pearl in the Chinese culture. It has been a part of eastern history for thousands of years. The sincere feeling embodied in Dunhuang frescoes will be reflected through the ballet toe art. Dancers will pursue the forms of Huxuan Dance and Zhezhi Dance portrayed by Dunhuang fresco by their ballet gestures. Youth and love are clues for crossing time and space. When the eastern graceful body and western extreme ballet art combine and present at the same time, all these will be full of vigor and dignity. (Translated by Shi Yali, Fathom Language Limited)
