How do we handle the pressure from real-life situations? For veteran choreographer Tong Ruirui, the answer is dancing, which gave birth to the contemporary dance drama, Let's Dance. Inspired by spontaneously dancing crowds in Temple of Heaven in Beijing every day, Tong focuses on urban people's lives in the workplace and tells a story of people facing up to the pressure from work and life and how they seek pleasure in dancing. Performed by actors from Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe, the production won the country's highest honor for dance, the Golden Award of the Chinese Dance Lotus Award in 2013.
