The changes that Madame Mao wants to do is to combine ballet steps withsome Bejing Opera movements. This is difficult to the dancers because they now have to do more complexed movements and it pushes them to their limits.

Madame Mao wanted huge changes, she wanted more guns and glory and Beijing opera movement in the dances. This was a huge ask for the dancers it would test them to the Max.

the suggestion madame Mao suggests that they should combine traditional ballet steps with Beijing opera movements. This is hard for the dancers because ballet movements required fluidity and softness while Beijing opera was the opposite and required strong and sharp movements. bounce bounce

One of Madame Mao's suggestions was to mix combine ballet steps withsome Bejing Opera movements. Because she suggested it, it was launched straight away. This made all ballet dancers work even harder.

the Madame Mao challenges them with new dance steps by combining different dance steps together, this is difficult because it is a much more complex way of dancing and is hard to remember.

Madame Mao want to combine and twist Ballet movement with the Beijing Opera Movements which adds a large amount of pressure to the teachers and to the students.

Madame Mao wanted the guns and grenades, political meanings and she wanted to combine traditional ballet steps with Beijing Opera movements, so the teachers had to change all the syllabus. They had to combine Western and Chinese style together and it was very hard to prepare.

Madame Mao said "Where are the gun's and the grenade's? Where are the political meanings?" She wanted them to combine traditional ballet steps with some Beijing Opera movements. It makes it difficult to the dancers because they are two different types of movements. From then, the teachers made major changes to the training syllabus.

madame Mao wanted more violence like guns and explosives so she makes the suggested that they should do both Beijing opera movement and ballet and this is hard because they are both very different styles because one is all about elegance and the other is all about sharp, bold stances.

Madame Mao suggested the ballet school to add the dangerous weapons such as guns, grenades and mainly political figures. She wanted to combine traditional ballet steps with Beijing opera movements. It was surely hard work to prepare for the dancers, hard to combine weapons with fluent ballet. Many teachers were very against it, but couldn't complain to Madame Mao because they would risk being labelled counter-revolutionaries, and be sent to jail or the pig farms. It could cost them their lives
