Dancers of Shanghai Ballet have resumed their daily practice sessions despite the outbreak of novel coronavirus, which has resulted in the cancellation or postponement of the company's tours and performances for 2020.
"We decided to make use of this special period to practice and rehearse a new dance theater production named Fragments of the Memory," said Lu Jiashi, a spokesperson for Shanghai Ballet, on Feb 26.
The company, which celebrated its 40th birthday last year, had a successful tour in the United States in January, where it gave four performances of Swan Lake at the Lincoln Center.
