Those are some Chinese Dance training Schools, Hope it's of any help to you.

The above is the picture of Ms. Yuan Yuan Tan.

Scuffite, Can I ask where are you from, because you are not from China? Nice to meet Chinese here.

Yes, BBS stands for Bulletin Board System as Janna Heino said. It's a very popular word here in China. BBS has the totally same function with forum. We have various BBS (forums) in different fields, art, science, culture and so on. I guess it's Chinese English word~ joking

National Ballet of China

www.ballet.org.cn

The Shanghai Ballet

www.sh-ballet. com

The Guangzhou Ballet

www.dandanballet.com

Those are the top three ballet companies in mainland China

I'm a member of a local Chinese ballet BBS, and friends there comment on many oversea ballet BBS. And Ballet Alert stands within top 3 topics. So I come here.

I feel so happy that people here are so warm to me. Do you know Ms. Zhongjing Fang are working in ABT now? She is also an excellent ballet dancer, young and ready to learn. Many young ballet dancers have gone abroad to join famous oversea ballet groups. Although it's a loss for Chinese ballet, I think it's good for their personal development. Anyhow, ballet is an exotic art.

By the way, I like ABT very much because the principals possess perfect personal techniques, esp. the male dancers.

YuanYuan Tan is Chinese way of spell her name. I'm a Chinese, but I don't think I can give you exact pronanaciation here. If you can hear my pronanciation, you will have a clear concept of it.

I'm so happy you like a Chinese dancer, in fact many Chinese ballet dancers are so excellent that they have earned a world-wide reputation. I hope more and more Chinese ballet dancers become world-known in the future.

My English is not good enough. Hope you can understand me.
