“It’s just breathtaking. It really is. It’s very moving, and it’s emotional, and the colors bring such joy to the experience, and the costumes, the movements are so graceful and beautiful, and it’s beautiful. It really is. I’m so glad that we decided to go.”

“[The dance about modern times moved me] because the restrictions in China are on the well-being and the happiness of the people. It’s sad to see, but it’s a beautiful expression that they can do it here, that they can express themselves here and show the world what the true China really is. The true Chinese culture, so it’s lovely.”

“It’s such an honor to be here and to see this, and to see the history and the culture of China. It’s a wonderful experience.”
