MORE than 30,000 people are expected at tomorrow's open day of the Academy for Performing Arts.
'It is an extremely popular event,' said Susanna Chan, the public relations officer.
The occasion will mark the academy's 10th anniversary celebrations.
'We can attract more people than many of the other tertiary institutions in Hong Kong because there are so many more chances to entertain people,' Ms Chan said.
'The academic institutes can only hold exhibitions; we can hold performances.' Admission is free and visitors are invited to bring their own dancing shoes, so they can take part in the open classes in jazz, ballet, modern dance and Chinese dance that will be taught by academy staff.
For the less active, students from the academy's School of Dance will give demonstrations and junior students will take classes in creative movement and ballet.
The programme will include more than 20 concerts, featuring Western and Chinese instruments ranging from the erhu to the french horn, with heads of departments available to advise and answer enquiries.
