LOS ANGELES—Mr. Dubin, president of a merchandising company in Santa Monica, attended the first Divine Performing Arts show in Los Angeles on Dec. 30 with his wife, for the second year in a row.

He said the costumes were “elaborate,” and “the colors… were just exquisite, it’s hard to describe how blue the blues were.”

“I just got back from three weeks in China and I saw shows—not the New Tang Dynasty show—and the staging and the color was so far superior here, it was just unreal. It was very, very fantastic.”

Mrs. Dubin enjoyed the background. “The background scenery was most impressive, it was so well done, and so interesting.”

With regard to the dancing, Mr. Dubin said, “The timing, and the combination of them [men and women] working together was fantastic.” His wife added her admiration of how the performance to depicted some of the violence in China’s history in a tasteful and appropriate way.

Mr. Dubin resumed, “I think the timing was just so perfect; everything. There were just no mistakes. They [dancers] all seemed to enjoy what they did. They seemed to smile; they seemed to be happy with their own performances. They were proud to do what they did. It was a very rewarding thing. You have to understand that they do this so many times, and yet they can still enjoy the performance”

He continued, “You know, sometimes something gets a little boring, but the feeling that’s within [these dancers], it comes across to the audience. I think the audience can’t help but feel enthusiastic about the performance that they put forth. I think you feel that. I think it comes across and the audience gathers it. When they smile, I think you smile.”

He said he felt this was a great way to “start the New Year off right.”

“I think it comes across well, I think it kind of shows that Chinese philosophy is so much more in depth, possibly.

“I think it was terrific, in depth, it was right out of their culture, which I think is one thing that Chinese culture, you know, they’ve been around for thousands of years. I think the biggest thing is the enthusiasm that the performers exhibited to the audience, I think it brought the audience into the picture, so that we felt as good as they looked like they felt. And we enjoyed it!”
