The week-long competition allowed young dancers to fully showcase their talents and also evoked deep emotions among the professional jury representing the world's leading competitions. The experts were impressed by the strong foundation of Chinese ballet and predicted a great future for it.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, E. Aliev said that his friendship with China began 25 years ago, and it is especially noteworthy that its origins lie in the city of Shenyang /adm. capital of Liaoning Province/. Therefore, he came to the current competition with special feelings.
While serving on the jury, E. Aliev saw many outstanding ballet dancers, and the performances of the dancers of the Liaoning Province Ballet Troupe particularly delighted him.
E. Aliyev noted that the fact that the troupe has repeatedly won awards at prestigious international competitions serves as the best proof of the high skill of its artists.

Patrick de Bana was invited as a choreographer to create the ballet “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” with this ballet company, which was his first collaboration with a Chinese ballet company.
“I consider the Liaoning Ballet Company to be one of the leading ballet companies in China. The male part of the troupe is especially strong here – it is a very high-level company. It has also achieved significant success on the international stage. Their tour with my production of “Notre Dame de Paris” in Vladivostok was a huge success. Therefore, I feel sincere love, deep respect and admiration for the Liaoning Ballet Company,” shared Patrick de Bana.
