The first ballet company directors' forum was also held, with troupe leaders discussing how to develop art with Chinese characteristics and how to better promote Chinese plays.

Apart from dance performances, the festival also featured other activities to help people gain an understanding of ballet.

Among them is one where ballet stars introduce the origins of the dance and share more about this art form.

Another workshop featured the effort behind the scenes - people could go backstage to take a look at how the elaborate costumes and shoes are made.
