Dance Ballet By The German National Youth Ballet

Date: Dec 5 - 7:30

Venue: Tianqiao Theater, Beijing

Price: 50-900 yuan

Germany's first ever National Youth Ballet has been founded at the beginning of the 2011/2012 theater season. With its own repertoire comprising mainly works by young choreographers, the group will predominantly dance in new spaces - not theaters, but schools, museums, nursing homes and even prisons; spaces in which dance does not usually attract much interest. The National Youth Ballet aims to demonstrate that dance has a social relevance creating a spirit of community and a sense of unity, focusing especially on a young audience.
