The Richmond Ballet of Virginia announced Monday that it will perform at the 15th Annual "Meet in Beijing" Arts Festival during its China tour running from May 17 to June 1.

The trip will mark the Ballet's first-ever journey to Asia, during which it will conduct a series of performances and cultural exchange programs in such Chinese cities as Beijing, Shanghai, Jinan and Dezhou, the troupe's artistic director Stoner Winslett told reporters at the Chinese Embassy to the United States.
