OTTAWA—Shen Yun Performing Arts left Jules Charette deeply impressed after he took in the classical Chinese dance company’s final Ottawa performance Friday night at the National Arts Centre.
“It was great, the colours, costumes. I think what they put together was a miracle of dance. I love dancing but that was special,” said Mr. Charette, a senior partner at an international law firm.
With him was dancer Ann Poirier, who said the choreography and the music were both wonderful.
“I very much appreciated the quality and the seriousness, the dance moves etc., and the nice chemistry between the music and the choreography, the dancers,” she said.
“The technique was very good, I noticed they had at some point 18 dancers on the dance floor for the ladies and they were synchronized, as well as the men, so that’s a challenge when you have a large group.”
Ms. Poirier also noted that “you could tell that the dancers enjoyed performing. They were dancing from the heart. You could see it in their expressions.”
