TAICHUNG, Taiwan—Deputy curator of Asia University Taiwan Folklore Museum, Mr. Yan Rongfeng, and his wife attended the Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company premiere at Taiwan Chung Hsing University Huisun Hall on April 16, Shen Yun’s seventh stop of its Taiwan tour 2010.

After seeing the show, Mr. Yan highly acclaimed Shen Yun for its demonstration of the dances from various places in China portraying the essence and characteristics of China’s diverse ethnic groups.

“I liked the Tibetan and Miao folk dances very much, as it (Shen Yun) guided the audience into the plot of traditional Chinese folklore through legendary stories.

“It was indeed great to see the show performing in a very smooth manner,” praised Mr. Yan, who was previously Changhua County Government’s press secretary.

Mr. Yan, also a renowned calligrapher in the County, said the dancers’ movements “were really amazingly good, so they should have undergone rigorous practice, as a saying goes, ‘one minute on stage takes 10 years of practice.’”

He said the program, Tibetan Dance of Praise was the illustration of tradition with new touches of innovation, and the synchronization between male and female performers was perfect.

The audience was able to fully enjoy Tibetan folklore and so he felt the show was exceptional.

Mr. Yan was also fascinated by the performance of the Shen Yun New York Company Orchestra, which came to Taiwan for the first time.

He praised, “The coordination of the music and the backdrops was so wonderful that it made the entire show very harmonious and peaceful. As to the music itself, it was very soft and touching that it made us feel like listening to the sounds of nature. This kind of sound is very comfortable and really great.”
