Jin was excited to be back in Brussels, the place she lived in 1992, teaching modern dance at the Royal Conservatoire. She wanted to share the feeling with her young dancers.

"I enjoyed so much of this country because they have a very multilingual… Especially I like the mentality of Belgians, and for the contemporary art, they are very active, and that's what I like about it," said Jin.

She first brought her Shanghai-based dance company to Brussels in 2004, with her signature piece Shanghai Tango.

"After 20 years, I came back again… I like the city. The city is very dynamic," she said of Brussels.
