Director Feng Ying encouraged the young trainee dancers of the National Ballet of China.

On the morning of March 4, a group of young trainee dancers, who joined NBC recently,  staged their daily training in the form of "Approaching Ballet" in Beijing Tianqiao Theater to the audience to show the unique charm of ballet art.

Before the performance, Zhang Tiao, an excellent dancer of NBC, had an interactive activity called "Ballet Salon" with the audience in the front hall of the theater.

After entering the theater, the audience seemed to come to the rehearsal hall where the dancers trained day by day and got very closed to their daily classroom training scenes.

Wang Qimin was giving an opening explanation.

In addition to Wang Qimin, the lineup of répétiteurs and rehearsal teachers who participated in this performance also included many ballet stars of NBC, including Zhang Jian, the Deputy Director and Prima Ballerina of NBC, Prima Ballerina Cao Shuci, and Premier Danseur Ma Xiaodong, and the Choreographer Li Jun as well as the Ballet Master Assistant Wang Hao.

Yin Yue, the Principal Piano Accompaniment, accompanied the performance at the scene.

In the second half of the performance, the audience was shown the rehearsal of excerpts of classic ballets.
