"I think this is a breakthrough. I'm attempting to express myself through another language," she explained.

"The most difficult part is psychological, since I've practiced classical dance before. It's such a different dance language. This time, I want to give up the familiar things and accept a fresh challenge. This work expresses the theme of choice; we face choices in every moment through our life, it's precious."

A year ago, Hua initiated the Every Moment idea, which was supported by Xu Rui, vice president of the Beijing Dance Academy.

Hua remembered how she was inspired by British dancer Akram Khan's abilities when she saw his show in New York in 2013.

With Xu's help, Hua got in contact with Khan and invited him to choreograph in her show.
