During the Easter Holiday period, Hong Kong Ballet will be presenting a 3-day intensive ballet programme for young students with exclusive coaching by the Company's top artists.

Principals Faye Leung, Crystal Costa, Jin Yao and the Company dancers will invite students to their studio and share their life as a professional ballet dancer. They will also instruct young students in various classes, leading them to experience the pre-professional ballet training.

The intensive programme will cover a wide range of topics including Hong Kong Ballet repertoire, pointe technique, pas de deux, ballet mime, character dance, theatrical hairstyling and stage make-up for classical ballet.

Ballet lovers should not miss this rare opportunity to gain first-hand training given by Hong Kong Ballet stars.
