Tan Yuanyuan's acting experience

"As soon as she comes on stage, she will attract all the attention." Some people say this about Tan Yuanyuan on the ballet stage. From the appearance, Tan Yuanyuan was born for dancing, with delicate facial features, round and small head, slim figure, height of 166cm and weight of only 47 kg. Sitting on the sofa, Tan Yuanyuan raised his chin, sank his shoulders, and had a slender neck and arms.

From Ugly Duckling to Genius Girl

When 5-year-old Tan Yuanyuan saw Swan Lake on TV and began to learn to stand on tiptoe to imitate the movements of swans, she didn't know how this would affect her future life.

At the age of 1 1, Tan Yuanyuan began to learn ballet.

17 years old, studying at Stuttgart Ballet School in Germany.

/kloc-at the age of 0/8, he became the youngest soloist of the San Francisco Ballet, one of the three major ballet companies in the United States.

2 1 year-old became the youngest chief actor in the company's history, and is still the only China chief actor in the world's top ballet company.

Twenty years ago, Tan Yuanyuan was an underachiever in dance. Tan Yuanyuan/KLOC-was admitted to Shanghai Ballet School at the age of 0/0. The father disapproved of Yuanyuan learning dance, but the mother insisted that her daughter was talented, so the family had to flip a coin to decide. The result was "gone", but Tan Yuanyuan started to learn dance nearly a year later than his classmates. Because of her late admission, Tan Yuanyuan always couldn't keep up with the progress and felt very inferior. "The students around me are dancing very well, but I still can't stand up. I was an ugly duckling at that time. " Tan Yuanyuan recalled.

Tan Yuanyuan's physical condition was excellent, and his occasional brilliance in his usual practice was noticed by Lin Meifang and Chen Gunian, teachers of the school at that time. They make up lessons for her every day until the level of Tan Yuanyuan catches up. Chen Chennian recalled Yuan Yuan when he was young and said, "Maybe because I was too strict with her, Tan Yuanyuan was too fond of crying and cried all day. On one occasion, she cried because she did not meet the requirements. I asked her whether to cry or practice, and I could only choose one. She chose practice. "

On the day of the interview, Tan Yuanyuan also met with two teachers. She and her partner rehearsed excerpts from the dance drama Giselle in the training room of the dance school, and two teachers were present to guide her. Tan Yuanyuan said, "They are still sharp-eyed, and now they can see my childhood problems at a glance." In 2007, Tan Yuanyuan had a close relationship with two teachers who had emigrated to Canada, and went to the teachers' home in Canada for "special training" almost every year.

Tan Yuanyuan will always remember his 14-year-old first official stage scene. It's a local competition in 199 1 Shanghai. She hid backstage, scared to death. "She felt that her feet were not her own." So, Lin Meifang kicked Tan Yuanyuan onto the stage. Tan Yuanyuan was shaking on the ground, and her legs kept shaking. So she stayed until the last movement, when the music stopped and her legs trembled twice. In 2007, Tan Yuanyuan laughed and imitated her "trembling twice" at that time. At that time, Lin Meifang left a deep impression on her. "At your level, the first round of going out to play was brushed off." "Nervousness is due to inferiority, inferiority is due to really bad", and that competition was Tan Yuanyuan's only failure experience.

Two years later, Tan Yuanyuan stood on the stage of the Paris International Ballet Competition, and ulanova, the chairman of the jury, gave her full marks. Ulanova has always been Tan Yuanyuan's idol and "spiritual mentor". When Tan Yuanyuan received the gold medal trophy from ulanova, ulanova told the perfect girl in her mind through an interpreter that she must keep working hard and make progress. At that time, Holgyi Thompson, artistic director of the San Francisco Ballet, was sitting in the audience, looking for new members for his company.

1995, Tan Yuanyuan, 18 years old, a student of German Stuttgart Ballet School, plans to stay in Stuttgart Ballet to continue her dancing career after graduation. Thompson had seen Tan Yuanyuan in Paris, and he had been looking for this China girl. After meeting again in Germany, Thompson urged Tan Yuanyuan to make a guest performance at the San Francisco Ballet. It's a performance, but it's actually an exam. After the duet and solo performance, the audience in San Francisco and Thompson fell for her. Thompson took out a paper contract. "Come to us and you will be the youngest soloist."

Tan Yuanyuan said: "I thought it was not bad, so I went." .

Learn new dances all night as a substitute.

Many people think that Tan Yuanyuan is a "phoenix nirvana overnight", but in fact, as a dancer, Tan Yuanyuan also has an important turning point. /kloc-When she was 0/8 years old, she visited the United States on behalf of the Shanghai Ballet, and was taken by the San Francisco Ballet. "At that time, I danced according to the usual rehearsal. Maybe I played well. Later, people in San Francisco came to me and wanted me to join them. Everything is so natural. " Tan Yuanyuan said.

Of course, Tan Yuanyuan won't miss such a good opportunity to join the San Francisco Dance Company, and even become a soloist by jumping three levels, which is unprecedented in the history of the dance company. However, it is not necessarily a good thing to be too sharp-edged, especially when I come to a strange environment as a foreigner. "Of course, I have been excluded. Some people are wondering why a China person can become a soloist so quickly, but fortunately, I later used my own strength to make these people change their views. " Tan Yuanyuan said.

Through unremitting efforts, Tan Yuanyuan gradually gained a foothold in the dance company and became the chief, but this was an "accident". "At that time, a leading actor in the group broke his finger on the stage. The next day's performance could not be performed. The colonel found me and handed me a videotape, saying that you could learn it overnight. I took it at that time regardless of the willy-nilly. Fortunately, my performance is not bad, and you all know the rest. "

Perfect legend and price

In large ballet companies in the United States, dancers are divided into four grades: apprentice, group dance, solo dance and chief dancer. At that time, it took 16 years for the other two directors of the San Francisco Ballet to be promoted from apprentices to directors, and the youngest soloist was also 23 years old. Tan Yuanyuan just celebrated his 18 birthday.

Tan Yuanyuan, a young girl, was snubbed by other girls when she joined the league, because she was hired as a soloist after jumping two levels. "After jumping on the stage, they also have nothing to say. Americans are very realistic, you are really good, there is nothing to say. " My first year in the United States was mentioned lightly by Tan Yuanyuan. Indeed, nothing dramatic happened. Like any China native who has just arrived in the United States and doesn't understand the language, Tan Yuanyuan will call his parents at the telephone office in China City. When he hears his parents' voices, he will cry bitterly. A year later, Tan Yuanyuan adapted to the life in the United States, got along well with his colleagues, began to communicate fluently with his dance partner in English, and made some friends from China in San Francisco. Tan Yuanyuan's mother also began to visit her in the United States often; A few years later, my parents simply moved to San Francisco to live with Tan Yuanyuan.

1998, one day in the performance season, the officer of Lao Ba accidentally broke his finger, and the next day's performance was in danger of being cancelled. Tan Yuanyuan was ordered to study balanchine's ballet Concerto Stravinsky in one evening. Balanchine is the most influential choreographer in the 20th century. Most of his works are fast-paced and complicated, which is difficult to master. Stravinsky, known as "Picasso in music", likes to make a fuss about rhythm.

"Stravinsky's music is hard to understand, and the rhythm of every bar is changing, which is even harder for me." Tan Yuanyuan said that she had never formally skipped balanchine's works before and didn't know much about Stravinsky. At that time, everyone was playing drums, wondering if she could learn this half-hour dance drama overnight. As a result, Tan Yuanyuan did it. "It's really urgent. Although I wrote it down overnight, I forgot it as soon as the performance ended the next day. " The performance received a good response. Some viewers wrote to the dance company and asked who danced Stravinsky that day. Since then, the head of the delegation has placed special trust in Tan Yuanyuan. After that, Tan Yuanyuan got many chances in succession, skipping balanchine's other works and the whole drama Swan Lake. After the filming of Swan Lake, Tan Yuanyuan got the contract to lead the dance, 1998. She is only 2 1 year old. After becoming the chief dancer, she performed hundreds of performances every year and played the leading role in almost all the company's plays, such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Giselle and Nutcracker. At the entrance of the San Francisco Ballet Theatre, a large poster with her photo is hung all the year round; She became a guest of former President Clinton. When Premier Zhu Rongji visited the United States, she was sitting in Allen? Between Greenspan and Zhu Rongji.

In 200 1 year, the first European tour of San Francisco Ballet won Tan Yuanyuan an international reputation. Covent Garden, a London dance critic, called Tan Yuanyuan "the biggest jewel in the crown of Lao Ba". Anna Kisgov, a dance critic in The New York Times, called her "a combination of exquisiteness and boldness". Japanese authoritative dance magazines selected 10 1 a dance star in the 20th century, and Tan Yuanyuan was the only one from China. In 2004, Tan Yuanyuan was named "Asian Hero" and appeared on the cover of Time magazine. In an interview, Tan Yuanyuan said that what set her apart was "exaggeration". "The stage is very big and the audience is far away. The audience can't understand you without amplifying body language. " She will never forget the game in Paris. A judge said to her, "To be a real artist, you must dance for your heart. You must perceive the space, understand the role and touch your heart. " Tan Yuanyuan said that she may not be able to achieve this goal, but she is trying.

"It seems that it is easy for others to dance, but it is not like this." Tan Yuanyuan's dance is light and smooth, and every movement embodies a perfectionist's endless criticism of himself. "If I make a mistake on the stage, I will be bored all day. There are 3000 pairs of eyes looking at you under the stage, which makes the artist live very tired. Once you are not perfect, you have weaknesses. " Tan Yuanyuan broke three legs, which is the price of her pursuit of perfection. In addition to the pressure of 3,000 pairs of eyes, Tan Yuanyuan also carries more expectations for a talented woman who combines Chinese and Western. Ballet is a western art, and few people stand at the peak of western classical art in China. In the United States, the contract of the dance company is signed once a year, and the chief is not a lifelong position. If you are not careful, it will be replaced. For Tan Yuanyuan, the secret of success is to seize every opportunity. "One success doesn't mean success every time. Once disappointed, it is likely that it will never be used again. Asians may have fewer opportunities to pull back. " Tan Yuanyuan talked about a young woman's inner doubts and contradictions. "In fact, I have no such concerns myself. What I care about is how to make myself not disappointed and how to make myself satisfied. "

Opened another door.

Living in the United States for more than ten years has opened another door for Tan Yuanyuan.

I thought Tan Yuanyuan was an introverted and quiet person, but with the deepening of the conversation, the quiet Tan Yuanyuan gradually became active, making "American" gestures from time to time, laughing happily when talking about it, and sometimes her speech suddenly got stuck, because she couldn't remember how to say that Chinese word. In 2007, Tan Yuanyuan had many friends, including China people, Americans, artists and non-artists, and even lawyers and judges. Tan Yuanyuan said: "Friends are not limited to the art circle, but also an improvement and an interesting thing for themselves."

"My friends think I am a funny person, because I sometimes talk funny and like to joke." Mother Tan told reporters that when she was a child, she was very introverted and didn't like to talk. It was only in America that she gradually became like this. Tan Yuanyuan's explanation is: "Maybe the living environment in the United States is relatively relaxed, and the pressure of life is not great. Of course, dancing is also stressful. If you don't advance, you will retreat. But there is no need to keep thinking about stress, otherwise it will not be good for you. "

Tan Yuanyuan is used to the life, working environment and artistic atmosphere in the United States. She likes the humid climate and beautiful scenery in San Francisco. Besides life and personality, Tan Yuanyuan's understanding of art is also changing. A few years ago, Tan Yuanyuan's favorite drama was Swan Lake or Giselle, but now when she is asked, she will reply: "Many people ask me what my favorite drama is, but an artist should not have a favorite, it is too narrow, and should like all kinds of dances. I like everything except ballet, jazz and street dance, although I can't dance. "

The performance season of American Ballet begins from 65438+February every year and lasts until May of the following year, during which performances are performed almost every day. As the star of all 18 programs of the troupe, including two major dramas, Tan Yuanyuan works 6 days a week and 13 hours a day. Nevertheless, Tan Yuanyuan is still studying literature and art in university, and this year is the third year. Tan Yuanyuan spent most of his spare time writing dozens of papers, because he planned to get his degree in three years, which should have been completed in four years. She said: "Everyone wants to get an A. If they accidentally get a B, they will get an A+ next time."

I just graduated from drama class recently, and the content of the exam is drama. Tan Yuanyuan chose Gwyneth? Paltrow starred in the stage play "Evidence", and she herself played the role played by Paltrow. Although I don't know how many times I have performed on the stage, this is the first time to speak on the stage, which makes Tan Yuanyuan feel fresh and happy.

Talking about the future, Tan Yuanyuan said that he had not thought it over carefully and had no clear plan. The only certainty is that she will retire at the peak of her career, "because it will be more fulfilling." Now, 30-year-old Tan Yuanyuan is single, lives with her parents and drives a Mercedes-Benz to and from work. She is neither tired of honor, nor can she see the traces left on her by years. Seemingly busy and hard, she lives like a dancer, lifting weights easily.

I have never been on the stage in Beijing.

Tan Yuanyuan's dance fans are all over the world, but due to the schedule problem, the performance in Beijing could not be held. Tan Yuanyuan said that many domestic actors invited her to perform in Beijing. She also very much hopes to perform for the domestic audience. However, she has a wish, that is, not to bring the western drama Swan Lake or Othello to Beijing. She longs for the opportunity to perform a ballet with China national characteristics, and she can use her years of performance experience in the West to interpret the most traditional aesthetic story. The performance of "Queqiao" achieved a perfect opportunity. Tan Yuanyuan, who had been waiting for many years, finally got a chance to meet the long-awaited "Queen of Ballet".

At the 20 12 National Grand Theatre Dance Festival, Tan Yuanyuan will come to China again to perform "Crossing Three Women" with Fangyi Xu, the Asian disciple of modern dance master Martha Graham and the chief actress of the New York Ballet. In this performance, they combined different dance vocabulary of classical ballet, modern ballet and modern dance, and made a special crossover in the performance. Through their unique works and dances, they show the diverse charm of dancers in different backgrounds. He is 1.67 meters tall and weighs 47 kilograms. When he smiles, his mouth will be crescent-shaped He likes to wear old and soft ballet shoes, and his walking habit is as straight as a swan. Tan Yuanyuan, a Shanghai girl from the San Francisco Ballet, one of the three major American ballets, is like this on weekdays. A few days ago, Tan Yuanyuan made a special trip back to Shanghai for the release of the new book "I and Ballet". This manuscript, which has been brewing for five years, is like a memoir, which records the experience of dancing for 25 years at the age of 36 from 1 1.

As Tan's mother said, work hard on the road of ballet and have a smooth journey. 1/Kloc-0 was admitted to Shanghai Ballet School at the age of 0/,won the first international prize in Finland at the age of 0/4, and won the first gold medal in the 5th International Ballet Competition in Paris, France at the age of 0/5. When most girls aged 65,438+08 were still ignorant, Tan Yuanyuan, who was studying at the German Stuttgart Ballet Academy, received an invitation to sign a contract with the San Francisco Ballet Company. It took only three years for Tan Yuanyuan to leap from a soloist to a leading actor. Since 18, Tan Yuanyuan has performed more than 100 performances every year, starring in almost all classic ballets including Swan Lake, Giselle, Othello and The Little Mermaid.

After Tan Yuanyuan, few dancers in China can gain a foothold in the western ballet world like her. People often ask her secrets. "Maybe I have higher requirements for myself, which is definitely inseparable from my efforts." Tan Yuanyuan smiled and explained that even if a press conference was to be held that day, she would practice "pole vault" in a hotel room with inappropriate facilities and conditions to keep herself more or less dancing.

"I entered the international ballet world with solid basic skills. When portraying characters, the unique delicacy of orientals will add a lot of color to my performance. " In an interview, Tan Yuanyuan said that ballet is not only an art about skills, but also its movements and emotions need to be carefully combined, just like the combination of Yin and Yang. Talking about his uniqueness, Tan Yuanyuan said with a smile that this may be due to the strong tension on the stage. "Unlike movie actors, we have to serve 3000 people on the spot. The stage is big and the audience is far away. If you don't amplify your body language, the audience won't understand you. "

It is common for ballerinas to get hurt while dancing. In his book, Tan Yuanyuan also revealed many details of injuries, which were roughly concealed from his parents on weekdays. For example, when she danced Giselle in 2005, she thought about ending her dancing career because her right hip was dislocated. "I was depressed at the time and didn't want to find North." 20 10 when collaborating with Johann Neumeier, artistic director of Hamburg Ballet, Tan Yuanyuan also received three stitches for toe injury. Fortunately, the Little Mermaid taught Tan Yuanyuan how to dance with the soul, which also brought her a turning point in her career. "It extended my artistic career." John Newmel spoke highly of Tan Yuanyuan. "She jumped out of my soul."

The golden age for ballet dancers is usually between 28 and 35. Tan Yuanyuan thinks the little mermaid is the best time for her to dance. "It's not bad now." "If I hadn't gone to San Francisco, I might not be standing on the stage now; If I hadn't been injured twice, I might have quit the stage. " These two injuries actually made Tan Yuanyuan decide to jump on. "I was thinking, if I can cross the pain line, I can dance as long as I can."

If you stop dancing, what will you do? "I will still do ballet and beauty related things." She said seriously, but she probably won't let her children dance ballet again in the future, "unless the children have the talent to dance." Few people can see the painful price paid by dancers behind the shiny surface. The stars in Magpie Bridge are all top ballerinas in the world. Alina Somova and Leonid Sarafanov, the chief dancers of the Ballet of Mariinsky Theatre in Russia, and Ahlas Ralph, the chief dancer of the Ballet of the National Academy of Arts in Japan? Sullenger and Harashima Society are both famous dancers in ballet today. Russian Malinschi Ballet has a history of more than 200 years. Ulanova, a world ballet master, was once a dancer very liked by the older generation of leaders in China. He has performed for Huawei leaders for many times and enjoys a high reputation internationally.

Tan Yuanyuan said, "I am very happy to cooperate with the world's top ballerinas this time. Their artistic level is admirable, and they are also the ideal partners I have long hoped to perform on the same stage. Ulanova, the former head of Russian Malinschi Ballet, is my spiritual idol, and I was influenced and encouraged by them during my ballet study. When I participated in the French International Ballet Competition, I was honored to be praised and encouraged by Master ulanova. It was a great spiritual inspiration for me at the age of 15, and I still remember the scene at that time. I rehearsed "Magpie Bridge" with Leonido Sarafanov, the chief of the Russian Malinschi, and it felt great! We cooperated harmoniously and danced skillfully. I have higher expectations for the performance in Beijing.

At the invitation of the organizer, I temporarily postponed the rehearsal, came to Beijing in advance to host the "master class", met with "Tan Fan" and guided ballet learners. This will be the best opportunity for ballet lovers to witness the style of superstars and get in touch with Tan Yuanyuan.

Tan Yuanyuan's performance in China this time not only brought back the accumulated experience of living in the United States 12 years, but also brought out China's ballet. It is for this reason that master classes are offered. As the head of top foreign ballet companies, Tan Yuanyuan has rich performance experience for many years, and her unique female sensitivity and delicacy have conquered the hearts of countless dance fans. In order to leave the most perfect and profound impression on Tan fans, the organizer will rent the Grand Theatre of the People's Liberation Army Opera House as the venue for the "Master Class". Choose to hold a "master class" in the People's Liberation Army Opera House, and the cost is the same as the official performance. Tan Yuanyuan will give a wonderful ballet performance. Dance lovers can invite Yuanyuan to dance together, or even "dance", and let Tan Yuanyuan perform some classic excerpts he likes. Opportunities are rare and places are limited. Dance lovers can sign up for master classes on this website.

Tan Yuanyuan said: "After dancing Swan Lake and Giselle for so many years, the most exciting thing is to dance China's works." She said that China dancers have proved that they can perform the best ballet and lead the world's top ballet companies, but we should do more than just "be like others"? In fact, what people really look at you with new eyes is your unique oriental temperament and Chinese charm. For the upcoming Beijing premiere, Tan Yuanyuan is even more excited: "I am very excited to perform in Beijing for the first time. I hope to give the audience a perfect performance at my peak. " With Queqiao touring to Japanese, Korean, Singaporean, French, Italian, American and other countries, "We want to bring this beautiful China love story to more countries and make it our own Swan Lake." At the closing ceremony of the 4th China Shanghai International Ballet Competition, Tan Yuanyuan performed a segment of Giselle as a special guest.

In the first half of the performance, Tan Yuanyuan showed inner peace and inner feelings of a naive rural girl with gentle dancing, confused eyes and light movements. In the process of completing the leap from girl to lover, Tan Yuanyuan quickly introduced the audience into the illusory fantasy world with her strong and light jumping, fast and steady rotation and light performance. Every difficult movement is easily completed in poetic passion. Tan Yuanyuan's extraordinary charm makes the audience feel out of body.

Tan Yuanyuan said: "I entered the international ballet field with solid domestic basic skills, and performed on the same stage with top artists from all over the world, which made me make rapid progress. At the same time, the unique exquisite performance of the orientals makes my creation different. "

Tan Yuanyuan was attracted by the teacher of Shanghai Ballet School when he was climbing a bamboo pole on physical education class. However, the engineer's father wanted his only daughter to be a doctor, so he didn't report for duty one year after receiving the notice. Later, at the insistence of my mother, a family of three decided to choose with coins. Nickels are upside down when they fall from the air, which means there will be another ballet star in the world. The first miracle happened in 1992. Tan Yuanyuan participated in the 5th International Dance Competition held in Paris. When they arrived at the stadium, the teachers and students were dumbfounded. In order to watch the tiptoe performance, the ballet tables in Europe are all designed with a tilt of 15 degrees, which is equivalent to China actors dancing on the flat ground all the time. The teacher comforted Yuanyuan: "Just practice." During the game, Tan Yuanyuan cried and refused to play because his knee hurt badly. The feeling be nasty in, the teacher kicked in the past, I didn't expect that with the help of the power of this foot, Tan Yuanyuan's appearance was particularly successful. At the end of the competition, ulanova, the chairman of the jury, got full marks and commented, "This is the youngest and most classic actress I have ever seen in 20 years. She has a bright future. " I didn't expect Tan Yuanyuan to win the gold medal in a hopeless game.

When Tan Yuanyuan won the gold medal again in the international competition held in Nagoya, Japan in the second year, 1994 was hired as the youngest solo student of the San Francisco Ballet, spanning two steps of apprenticeship and group dancing.

In a performance, the heroine broke a bone. In order to save the scene, the colonel asked Yuanyuan, "Can you do it?" Tan Yuanyuan accepted without hesitation. Today, recalling the original scene, Tan Yuanyuan still looked excited: "That is instinct, I must seize the opportunity." The next day, the stage was a great success, and the major media in San Francisco spoke highly of this unexpected rookie. Since then, Tan Yuanyuan has become the first Chinese-American lead actor and the youngest lead actor of the three major American ballet companies.

Tan Yuanyuan, the chief China dancer of San Francisco Ballet, was not only selected as the cover figure by Pointe, a mainstream American ballet magazine, but also played Othello, a ballet starring her, in the "Famous American Dance Series" on PBS TV.

The World Journal reported that the cover of Pointe magazine not only showed her graceful dancing in a golden rockhopper and dancing clothes, but also called her "golden girls of the San Francisco Ballet". With the theme of "A Day in Tan Yuanyuan's Life", this magazine reported her activities all day on March 20th, from attending the opening reception of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco in the morning to the curtain call for the audience after the performance of the ballet "Don Quixote" at 10: 30 in the evening. There are more than 10 photos in the magazine, including the scene of her dancing, the figure standing in the background ready to enter, the appearance of makeup, and the scene of walking in the street to catch up with the scenery, which makes people see the original beauty of this dancer all day.

San Francisco Ballet is the top three ballet companies in the United States, and its members are top dancers from all over the world. When Tan Yuanyuan came to the United States from Shanghai to join the San Francisco Ballet in 1995, he was already a "solo dancer" and became a "lead dancer" in only three years. She is the only Chinese mainland actress in the troupe and the only Chinese lead dancer among the three major American ballet companies. In the "Famous American Dance Series", PBS broadcasted Othello within 90 minutes, which promoted Tan Yuanyuan's exquisite dance skills and refined dance beauty to the American public's field of vision. Art critics from all over the world think this is a rare classic case.

Tan Yuanyuan has been a member of San Francisco Ballet for 10 years. During 10 years, she was busy performing and rehearsing every day, and devoted all her energy, physical strength and ability to ballet. "In San Francisco, the performance season is 65438+ 10 to May every year. There are more than 100 performances every year, and the annual European tour is also strong. I have to give at least 20 or 30 performances a month. In addition, I have to go to Japan and other places to perform, so I am almost on the stage for 365 days. " However, in the face of heavy performance tasks, Tan Yuanyuan danced and enjoyed himself. "If I am bitter, I often have to perform five or six different dance dramas a week and play five or six different roles, and I have to change them in a short time. I will feel very bitter at this time. But once on the stage, these hardships are left behind. "

Yuanyuan has little spare time except dancing, so she has no boyfriend. "Personal problems are still natural." However, Yuanyuan hopes to show that the other half is not an insider, so that the other party can respect themselves more and the ballet art that they love more. Although Tan Yuanyuan has great scenery in ballet, she will leave the stage one day. So what would she choose? "If one day, I will do some work related to ballet." More than a year ago, Tan Yuanyuan began to learn painting, design and stage choreography. Maybe one day she will do some behind-the-scenes work or start a ballet school. Tan Yuanyuan said that although she was busy with her tasks, she still took time out to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree at Santa Maria University. Moreover, she plans to finish the four-year course in three years, so besides performing, she has to hand in 10 pages of homework a week, which is very hard.

Speaking of quitting. Tan Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "I am a perfectionist. I won't leave until I can't jump. " . I want to leave at the top of the mountain. The so-called torrent is brave. "
