On the evening of February 13, 2022, this year's "Dance Talent Lantern Festival" was successfully performed at the Shanghai International Dance Center Theater. Thirteen teams of folk dance lovers from various districts of Shanghai gathered on the stage to present a high-level dance performance for the audience.
As a mature brand of Shanghai International Dance Center to cultivate folk dance culture, this year is the fifth year of the "Dance Talent Lantern Festival". For shanghai's dance lovers, the significance of this event is beyond words – this gorgeous stage where only the world's top dancers have the opportunity to take the stage on weekdays has become a world where they can also show their skills. The full-capacity pomp and circumstance not only proves the quality and ornamentality of the works created by amateur dancers, but also provides dancers with a considerable sense of accomplishment.
On February 13, a reporter from Jiefang Daily visited the Shanghai International Dance Center and recorded the wonderful moments of this group of dancers from the "post-10s" to the "post-60s" who gave full play to their talents.

On the night of the performance, the members of the Shanghai Blue Sky Rescue Team were invited to the National Dance Center to enjoy the dancers' performances. At the end of the performance, the representative of the Blue Sky Rescue Team took the stage and introduced to the audience the touching deeds of the rescue team's participation in the fight against the epidemic and flood in the past two years.
