"We are amazed by the old civilization here in Egypt. I believe the Egyptian audience understood what we wanted to express," Xu said.

"I believe it is the best way to communicate with African people through ballet and other artistic forms which require no language," he added.

Liu Qi, an actress of the NBC, said she felt honored to perform in Egypt as both China and Egypt are two countries with splendid culture.

"Ballet originates in Western countries, but now we bring Chinese style and characteristics into it," she said.
