Success comes from the self-discipline

One and a half hours of training every day is a compulsory course for every ballet dancer. They have obtained strong self-discipline through decades of training. After the training, the dancers will rehearse the repertoire of that night completely before each formal performance.

Racing against time and meeting new challenges

After the tour, the young dancers are about to have their premiere of Carmen. As the stage was being prepared, they kept rehearsing in their resting time. Wang Ye, the Principal Dancer who will dance "Carmen" in the ballet, also came from Beijing to work with Yu Bo to give directions to the young dancers in the rehearsals.

Répétiteurs Yu Bo and Yu Yang were discussing the rehearsal details all the time.
