GAINESVILLE, Fla.—Dance and music are forms of art that flow with time. Shen Yun Performing Arts is touring around the world, each performance is a new and fresh experience for the audience.
Laurie Depaolo used to be a dancer and her husband, Joe Depaolo, is a professional percussionist.
“It’s just a reminder of where we’ve all come from. These are hard things to put into words. I love the word Creator. Somebody created us. We are created and we belong to someone,” said Mrs. Depaolo.
“They’re all amazing. Just want to thank them all for all the time that they put into this training. I know that training is not easy. And we just thank them all for bringing to this to this beautiful building of their art, the time that they spent learning it,” said Mr. Depaolo.
“The Chinese instrument—that is my favorite instrument now in the world. I didn’t know that until tonight. The sounds that it creates—it brings in emotion and tears to the eyes,” said Mr. Depaolo.
He added that in the music, he felt a healing power that was “just so gentle and at the same time so intense.”
Since Shen Yun began in 2006, audience members have shared the beauty of Shen Yun with their friends and family.
“People should let their friends know and I plan to do that. Shine the bright light on this just amazing performance. So I think it’s a good timing. It’s good timing for this world. It’s a good time for this country, for China and for all mankind just to listen to the storyline and just to see the dedication and hear it in the music,” said Mr. Depaolo.
