The Shanghai International Dance Center has established itself as a cultural landmark in the city and a benchmark in the Asian dance industry since its grand opening in 2016.

The dance center has showcased renowned international performances from countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Japan.

The Shanghai International Dance Center Grand Theater, distinguished by its open and bright hall, has become an iconic venue. The hall is surrounded by glass, which allows for a changing ambiance comprising natural and internal lighting.

The theater boasts a seating capacity of 1,078 and features an extraordinary design. The seats are elegantly adorned in starry blue, while a celestial pool graces the center of the ceiling and water wave motifs adorn the surrounding walls.

The chandelier alternates colours, creating a dynamic atmosphere within the theater. The stage is specifically designed for dance performances, with a spring-loaded floor that prioritizes the protection of the performers' knees and spines.

The stage lighting utilises innovative lamps and lanterns to ensure high-quality, visual performances.
