Ballet in China has been more than a century since it was performed at the court in the late Qing Dynasty, and it has been nearly 100 years since Russia began to teach in Shanghai in the 1920s. There is indeed a big gap between ballet and Chinese traditional aesthetics, but the Chinese can accept it smoothly for a hundred years. Even in the years of the Cultural Revolution, ballet was still popular on the stage and played an important role as a model. Ballet, once appreciated by the European court, has been Sinicized in China, and a number of Chinese players have stepped onto the podium in the international arena.
