With just the tap of the shoulder on tiptoe, the light ballet movements are completed in a palm-sized place. That night, the wonderful "Ballet on the Shoulder" performance attracted a burst of exclamations and applause from the audience. "Swan" takes the growth experience of acrobats Yu Meng as the main line, integrates various art forms such as drama, acrobatics, ballet, etc., and runs through the creative process of "shoulder ballet" from scratch and integrating "skills" into "art".

"Ballet on the shoulder" is known as "elegant acrobatics, thrilling ballet". More than 20 years ago, acrobatic artists Wu Zhengdan and Wei Baohua explored "where can people stand on their bodies", and almost tried them on their backs, shoulders, legs, and hands. Eventually, they decided to dance on their shoulders. In 2000, "Ballet on the Shoulder" was successfully launched in the tempering. Subsequently, the acrobatic drama "Swan Lake" was born, telling the story of Western "Swan Lake" in the form of oriental acrobatics, and realizing cross-cultural communication and dialogue. "Swan" brings to the stage the process of "ballet on the shoulder", which is full of hardships and challenges, breakthroughs and innovations. The stage was set up as a rehearsal hall in which the bitter pleasures of the acrobats were staged.
