SHUM Pui-yung showed her passion for ballet since a young age, and it had been her dream to take dancing as her career. Yet, she chose to study English at the university, discontinuing her study of ballet.
College life did not extinguish Pui-yung’s passion for dancing. On the contrary, she was even being teased by schoolmates, saying that her major was actually the “Dance Society”. During her time at the university, she had experienced more diverse forms in dancing, which helped her better understand herself. Later she furthered her study at London Contemporary Dance School, determined to develop her career in the arts of dancing. However, once again, she had to struggle to make her choice, as she graduated at the time when the pandemic of the century was raging.
The divinity of dance cast the spell again to keep the destined Pui yung. Beating more than 800 candidates, she was selected to join Akram Khan Campany, and played an important role in “Jungle Book Reimagined”. After touring around the world for dancing performances, Pui-yung felt that she needed to change and introspect. Waving goodbye to the playful and exciting life of a wanderer, she returned to her hometown Hong Kong to search for her own rhythm in life.

WANG Qingxin – Principal Dancer of Hong Kong Ballet
“I think I am a Ballerina!” When WANG Qingxin wore the first tutu that belonged to her, she was inexplicably excited! When she was young, she always looked forward to and longed for gorgeous and glittery dancing dresses; but when she really put on the dancing dress, there was an invisible pressure. In the ballet performances enjoyed by audience, which combine both romance and power, countless and dully repetitive practices are required for every turnaround, leap, leg raise and stride before they can be showcased on stage.
With unremitting efforts, WANG Qingxin has been promoted to the top position and plays an important role in the dancing troupe. She hopes to break through the frames and bring characters to life, so that she can shine on stage and the audience will not only remember how perfect her movements are, but also have a deep impression on the roles played by her.
Being extremely serious about her ballet career, WANG Qingxin considers herself a “Master of Suspense”. Therefore, she often reminds herself not to be stubborn about everything, and that there is no harm in having a bit of insensitivity.
