When cultures collide, magic happens! ✨ The 2024-2025 China-Russia Years of Culture is kicking off with a bang, and who better to lead the dance than the enchanting Ekaterina Cherkasova, founder and artistic director of the Royal Ballet Theater of Russia.
Beijing's stage is set to sparkle as Cherkasova brings her passion and pirouettes to the heart of the Chinese mainland. In an exclusive chat with CGTN host Julian Waghann, she shared her journey of blending Russian ballet traditions with the rich tapestry of Chinese culture.
\"I've always felt a special connection with China,\" Cherkasova revealed. \"Dancing here feels like coming home.\"
The upcoming performances are more than just shows—they're a celebration of unity, art, and the bonds between two vibrant cultures. And for Cherkasova, it's a love story told en pointe.
So, if you're in Beijing, don't miss the chance to witness this cultural fusion. It's not just ballet; it's a dance of friendship between Russia and China. 💃🕺
