Genre-blurring dance event sets stage for young talent

An annual event called Chinese Dance for 12 Days, which aims to showcase young Chinese dancer-choreographers, will be held at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing from July 14 to August 1.

At the event, initiated and organized by NCPA in 2012, six original dance works by seven young Chinese dancer-choreographers will be staged.

According to Zhao Ruheng, the artistic director of NCPA's dance division, the theme of this year's event is "the original aspiration of a dance".
