My Story

I incidentally entered a ballroom dance classroom by losing my direction when studying in kindergarten. I danced International Standard and International Latin as an amateur when I was a kid, and at the same time China was engaged in the revolution of blooming IT development. I decided to devote my passion to computer programming at 15. After studying C++ full-time at a professional programming school, my body felt uneasy and my instinct told me to return to dance.

Inspired by the study of algorithm and seeing programming as a language learning experience, my vision was opened to body movement. My interests extended to Hip-pop, Taekwondo and Chinese Classical Dance whilst I was a major in History and Geography at Shenzhen Middle School, which at the time was one of the few high schools equipped with a University system in China.

I started training professionally with my first ballet class at the age of 18, and meanwhile I started Tai-Chi and Martial Arts training by my father, who was a regional Martial Arts champion when he was young. I began practicing choreography in 2011, and I was the first Chinese graduate of Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD), with a major in choreography. My previous creation, Fragments, was selected for the Seoul International Dance Competition in 2019.

My movement languages are influenced by multiple styles, including Popping, Tai-chi, Chinese Folk Dance, Ballet and Contemporary Techniques.
