program with dancers in our company from China acting as moderators.
The Ballet will also work with local schools and professional
ballet companies incorporating young dancers into our productions.
All rehearsals and classes will be open to the public.
The Company has also established relationships
with several Chinese dance companies and plans are being made
to bring those companies to San Jose to perform.
