PASADENA, Calif.—Ms. Liu, a professional dancer who currently lives in Los Angeles, began her training in Chinese classical dance at the age of 5. A well-known singing and dancing ensemble discovered her talent when she was 14. She has built a career in professional dance and teaching that spans 40 years.
On Jan. 2, 2009, she watched the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) show at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for the third time.
“The Chinese classical dances were terrific and exquisite. [The] performers must be professional … to be able to understand and express such a divine feeling.
“Chinese classical dance has a 5,000-year history, and is a form of profound art. One would not be able to bring out the divine exquisiteness if one cannot truly be inspired by it. These young artists perform really well, and it is not easy to reach such proficiency.”
The Mongolian Chopsticks dance and the fan dance Welcoming Spring were among her favorites. “In DPA’s shows, I see more and more young faces, which is a good trend. I can see they went through complete and systemic training.
“For the past three years, I see the spirit that keeps DPA going—and it has grown stronger. It’s also not easy to build such a group. By so doing, DPA promotes Chinese culture overseas. They have made dancers like me proud. I wish them the best,” she said.
