Glory: Chinese Ballet Stars Gala was initiated by AO Dingwen and is presented by eleven overseas Chinese dancers, YU Hang, WANG Mingxuan, SHI Yue, BAI Dingkai, LIU Sirui, LIU Chenxin, SUN Jiayong, CHEN Zhiyao, XIA Jun, LIANG Zecheng, and PENG Huiwen. Over the years, they have been unveiling the strength and beauty of Chinese dancers on stages worldwide, seldom having a chance to return and perform in their homeland. This July, they will gather at the Shanghai International Dance Center Theater to present over ten selected dance segments, demonstrating the beauty of both classical and modern ballet in one performance, transcending the allure of ballet technique and aesthetics, and creating a dazzling gala night filled with starlight and brilliance.
