July 20th-21st: NCPA International Ballet Gala the 5th Beijing International Ballet and Choreography Competition
The Beijing International Ballet and Choreography Competition is officially approved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the PRC and is supported by the Beijing Municipal Government. It is hosted by the NCPA and organized by the Beijing Xiaoxing Ballet Art Development Foundation. The competition aims to develop the ballet art as well as to promote international art exchange including dancing and choreography techniques, education system, talents scout, etc. Having successfully held the competition for four times in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017, NCPA holds the 5
thBeijing International Ballet and Choreography Competition from July 13
th to July 21
st, 2019.
A world-class art competition is always an optimal way to spot talents and a strong motive power for the renewal and development of the art. The Western critics predicted that “ballet would have a better future in the East”, and the Beijing International Ballet and Choreography Competition was born at the right moment. NCPA will invite world-class masters of art as judges and enlist professional contestants from all over the world in order to spot outstanding talents through this international platform to drive the development of the ballet art in China and take the competition as a bond between China and the world to strengthen international artistic communication and cooperation. Meanwhile, this year’s competition will open a gate to communication between the ballet art and that audience that has a passion for dance. Tickets will be put on sale in public for the opening ceremony of the classical ballet competition, the opening ceremony of the choreography competition, the closing ceremony of the ballet and choreography competition and all group stages, to enable a wider audience to learn about the little-known aspects of the ballet art and witness an important moment in the growth of the ballet dancers. Two gala performances will be held on July 20
th and 21
st with top global ballet stars to appear to give rarely seen performances in front of dance fans.
