The audience at the Wuhan Qintai Grand Theatre in Wuhan, Hubei province, rewarded the amazing older dancers of the Wuhan Fanghua Ballet Troupe with thunderous applause on July 3 after a performance of The White Hair Girl.
More than 100 audience members presented flowers to the dancers, whose average age was 62.
Founded in 2018 by 67-year-old Wei Jinfeng and her husband, Zhang Weiwei, the troupe has grown to 68 members, most of whom are over 60. The eldest is 74.
