In 2026, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is presenting seventeen performances in collaboration with the China Shanghai International Arts Festival as part of the Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in Shanghai. 

China Shanghai International Arts Festival (CSIAF) is a state-level comprehensive international arts festival approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China, hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and organized by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. Since its founding in 1999, CSIAF has been guided by its mission to create “A Festival of Arts, a Gala for All", having attracted more than 800 Chinese and international art groups and 86,000 artists from more than 80 countries and regions, and served over 95 million Chinese and international audience members.

As one of the most influential celebrations of art in the APAC region, CSIAF is committed to positioning itself as a global cultural hub that aggregates premier international performing arts resources, an international platform that shapes and leads contemporary artistic creation, a key mechanism for promoting intercultural dialogue and mutual learning among civilizations, and a demonstrative window through which culture and the arts empower and enrich people’s pursuit of a better life.
