In-School Film

**Now Showing:** *Dream of the Red Chamber*.
Our free in-studio film program in April presents a remarkable production by the National Ballet of China—a beautiful fusion of Chinese aesthetics and classical ballet. Adapted from the renowned Chinese literary classic, the ballet follows the emotional journey of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai, portraying the rise and fall of a great family. Through refined choreography and stunning stage design, the company brings this timeless story to life with depth and poetry.
We warmly invite students and parents to enjoy the screening between classes and experience the enduring charm of this Eastern classic through the language of ballet.

All performer registrations are complete, and preparations are in full swing: costume fittings, 48 music arrangements, and program design are underway, with rehearsals progressing steadily. The stage is almost set; Let’s look forward to this magical summer journey together!
