The Guangzhou Ballet was formed in 1993 and the troupe has now become one of the most respected art troupes in China. Over the years, it has consistently developed relationships with overseas troupes and invited professionals and renowned ballet dancers from France, the United States, Italy, Canada, Russia, Australia and other countries to come advise and teach in Guangzhou, helping to develop the troupe into a team of world-class ballet dancers.   

The troupe is also dedicated to promoting Chinese ballet around the world.
