An international ballet competition that preserves tradition and creates the future.
The theme of this event is to learn from the classical legacy, preserve it, develop classical ballet, and pass it on to the future through the works choreographed by Marius Petipa, who laid the foundation for "classical ballet" in the modern era. We believe that by preserving tradition, we can understand our identity within history and advance in the right direction.
