Four star dancers, Wang Yabin, Sun Ke, Hu Yang and Hua Xiaoyi, were selected as festival ambassadors, thanks to their influence and large fan base among students.

According to Hui Tong, vice-president of the Beijing Dance Academy, festival organizer, besides live performances, the event will also bring workshops on different dance styles, offering both professional dance students and amateur enthusiasts a chance to learn from  top choreographers.
