"There's one thing in common of the two distinctive pieces: they are both dotted with the movements of Chinese folk dance and elements of Chinese culture," he added.

Established in 1993, Guangzhou Ballet, which is based in South China's Guangzhou City, has toured more than 20 countries and regions around the world and won over 40 international awards and over 150 national awards.

"Performing at the Lincoln Center is a remarkable moment for Guangzhou Ballet," said Zou. "It's the pride of Guangzhou and the glory of Chinese ballet."

Jiang Qi, a professor in Ballet at the University of Cincinnati in the state of Ohio, moved from China to the United States in 1985 as a ballet dancer. He said he enjoyed going back and working with Guangzhou Ballet in creating Carmina Burana.
