There are more than 400 versions of "Swan Lake" in the world, and local audiences are usually overwhelmed with dozens of versions by different troupes, especially when New Year is approaching.
The National Ballet Theater of Belarus is considered as one of the top ballet schools in creation and performance, along with other schools in Russia and Ukraine.

is typical Russian style," says Bai Shuxiang, vice president of the Central Ballet Troupe of China.
