A day in the life of a Classical Chinese dancer ✨
Come along with me on the first show of the season — from getting my makeup done, grabbing meals in between, taking class, and warming up before the show.
Show days are a mix of calm routines and quiet excitement, and I’m so grateful to start the season back on stage 💃
📍 Amnéville, France
🎭 With SYPA

It's now time to do makeup.
>> Good morning. Today is a big day. It's
the first show of our 2026 season. Um,
my voice is still a bit horsearo, so
forgive me. Um the time is currently
8:30. So just going to just go through
my morning routine and yeah
this spot here
it's pretty bad with a bit
cuz I was feeling unwell the past few
days. But I'm glad I'm feeling okay
today since my voice sounds pretty bad.
So this is like a new product that I
started using this year. I don't really
use it continuously long enough to know
if it works well or not. Let's give this
one a try. It's called Nars Organics. A
little bit yellow, so I tried to put on
too much. Now we'll take your breath.
I'm pretty.
>> Okay, that's the best I can do today.
Okay, I'm closing this mirror when I
need to use it again. My nails are long,
too, and stuff cutting them. My biggest
pet peeve is when I get product in my
nails. Glowy
Tint Lip Balm by AOU. It's a Korean
product. I really like this one. This
color is called Pimmen. I just really
like how it's a pretty subtle color. I
don't really like to do that. Bam.
So, I'm showing
I should probably start getting changed.
Okay. Well, put this to the side.
Have to rest myself somewhere. Oh my
gosh. Okay. Time is a little bit tight.
>> Oh my. Oh my. That's very naughty.
It's okay. All right. Okay. I'm done.
All ready to go. Let's head to the
theater.
Hello. We are at the theater now and
we're going to have class in
15 minutes. I put on my leg warmers.
My new leg warmers.
I should explain why everyone's so
definitely quiet.
>> I want to go find breakfast. Yeah, she's
going for breakfast.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yeah. Why don't we eat hotel breakfast?
>> Because she would come too late.
>> Is this eat a cheesecake? Cheesecake
brownie.
Just going to kind of
cheesecake brownie in the morning. Not a
very healthy breakfast, but I don't eat
breakfast. So, this is better than
nothing, maybe.
I complain. Everyone's quiet and
everyone leaves.
Is it usually the opposite? How you
complain? People are loud and they
leave. Everyone's quiet. Everyone
leaves.
>> Leave because of you.
>> I'm a camera shy. Yo, are you This girl
of chit is eating gummies for purpose.
>> You're worse than me.
>> That way.
>> You gave me a cheesecake brownie today
and you're eating gummies. All right,
I'm going to do my hair now.
>> Oh, that's nice. But once I sit down.
Okay, that was still troubleshooting
though. Okay, nice and clean. Do I need
anything else? Oh my gosh, you better
hurry. I'm coming.
You have to know. Okay.
All right, let's go stage.
Hello.
>> So much better.
>> You satisfied?
>> Yes.
>> Did you guys sleep well last week?
>> No. How come?
>> Not at all.
>> Oh no.
>> You know the the bed is actually
Yeah. But it's actually at an incline.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Actually the bed
a little bit too.
>> Wow, this is crazy. This did not look
like this.
>> Just missed you.
Super
start class.
See you in a bit.
Oh my god.
Down.
Show us something.
Yes.
Just finished class.
Now it's lunch time. Oh, my voice is so
bad.
>> Now it's lunch time. Emily says,
>> "Thank you. Yeah.
>> So dry. My lips are cracking. Me too.
Okay. Over here I have some fried
mushroom, salad,
beef,
um, chicken, shrimp. Oh, actually it's
pretty shrimp. Yeah, that's chicken.
This is chicken.
>> Oh my salad. Chicken. My chicken looks
so much better than yours.
Is this ei
my favorite?
Why? Because I love
this is so good.
So cute.
I'm back in my dressing room and I'm
drinking
soup.
Soup is good for my throat. Actually,
I'm already sounding a lot better.
And so later, I want to go fulfill my
duties.
>> Huh?
Finished my job.
Hello. We just finished walking the
stage of blocking session. My soup is
now cold. M. Cold soup is so good.
Honey, lemon water.
Hello. It is now time to do makeup.
Our show begins in
social start again. 8:00. 8:00 from now
until 8:00.
2 and 1/2 hours almost. So excited. I'm
going to do a time lapse for my makeup
actually to spare some time dinner while
doing makeup.
This is a what is it?
>> Tea pie something
pie and then
is it cheese?
>> I think so. I'm pretty good though. You
can see it's got like a cheesy layer.
Pretty good. I personally don't like
eating so much before the show cuz I
feel very sluggish.
Tofu and carrots and bean sprouts. 20%
battery. Let's do that. Make a time
lapse.
Yay. I've just finished my makeup and
first makeup of the season. How does it
look? It's not too bad. I'm not too
rusty, I guess. So, okay. And then we're
going to be going to warm up a bit and
then head on stage for more warm up. Now
I'm going to go upstairs and warm up
begins.
Oh, it's hot.
Time with the first show.
I did okay. It's a bit jy. So now I'm
going to
um go kind of like Okay, I'm going to
remove my makeup. Now we're done.
>> How do you feel?
>> How do you feel?
>> Exciting.
>> Excited for another film.
Hello. So, I'm back at the hotel. Little
bit of reflection for today. Um, I felt
like I was a bit like pretty stable
actually. I had a bit of a jitters like
before the curtain open, but then after
the curtain opened, it was like felt
like home. Um, my takeaway is that
actually preparing well is actually very
important. And I do feel like the half
year that we've been training, it
definitely paid off because a lot of the
technical skills and movements were
definitely easier to execute. And then I
felt everything was more familiar on
stage. Maybe it's also cuz we kicked off
this tour pretty early. So if you think
about it, like the last time we were on
stage was half a year ago. So felt
pretty good. Tomorrow we have a 3:00
show. So, I'm probably just going to
wash up and then kind of do like a
cleansing because actually my face had
quite a lot of like inflamed spots
today. So, I wanted to make sure to wash
off that gunk properly and then face
tomorrow with a beautiful face. I will
see you around.
