Ako is from Japan. Chen is from China. They both started dancing at the age of three. Both of them have blazing talents that brought them across the world to meet at The Australian Ballet. They danced together … and a love story was born. Amber steps into their home to talk childhood, fur babies, pick-up lines, wedding plans and why it was so hard for Chen to propose. BIO  Chen was born in China and studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. His abundant talents won him a slew of prizes, including a scholarship to study at The Australian Ballet School. A natural crowd pleaser with an eye-popping ability to leap and spin, he also excels in princely roles like Albrecht and Siegfried. Ako was born and raised in Nagoya, joining The Australian Ballet School in 2015. An ebullient dancer with a pyrotechnic jump, she had her first success as Kitri in Don Quixote, but quickly moved into the full breadth of the repertoire. She was promoted to principal artist in 2015, on the night of her debut as Giselle.
