I have to inspire my precious @heyitstya and @karyn_ayu #shero #barbie #champion #china #ballerina YUAN YUAN TAN Prima Ballerina, China 2018 Barbie Shero Yuan Yuan Tan is a Chinese ballet dancer. She is the prima ballerina of the San Francisco Ballet where she holds the rank of principal dancer. She also holds the title of guest principal dancer at the Hong Kong Ballet. Tan’s father wanted her to pursue a medical or law degree. Her mother, who once had ambitions of becoming a dancer herself, was supportive of her desire to enroll in ballet school instead. The parents’ impasse was resolved by flipping a coin. Tan’s mother won the toss. At the age of 10, she was scouted by the Shanghai Ballet School and invited to join their training program. She was one of 24 candidates chosen from thousands of potentials in her age group from across China. As one of the most accomplished and critically acclaimed dancers of her generation, Tan is widely regarded as “the greatest Chinese ballerina of all time” and was called a “national treasure” by China Daily. In 2004, she was featured on the cover of Time magazine as a “Hero of Asia.” (at Melon&Tomat’s Home) -- source link
