WOKING, U.K.—Beautiful, athletic dance moves impressed Louise Morales, who attended the Shen Yun Performing Arts presentation at the New Victoria Theatre. “Absolutely split-second timing with the whole lot of them spot on,” Ms. Morales said.
“Such fantastic colors; love the special effects and the computer-generated backgrounds which fitted with the timing of the dancers,” she said.
Unable to be Seen in China
Ms. Morales said the performance should be seen everywhere, even in China, where it is banned.“I think the Chinese people need to understand their roots,” she said.
Using superlatives, she said, “the idea of such a fantastically qualified dance [company] doing such a fantastic dance; the idea that it can’t be seen there, I find that quite sad.”
“Shen Yun” means “the beauty of divine beings dancing” and Ms. Morales concurred that the “spiritual side added to the emotion of the show very much.”
Ms. Antoska, a massage therapist, said that truth, compassion, and forbearance are “essential with everything.” She felt that Shen Yun embraced everything. ‘It’s about what humanity is about—at its core,” she explained.
Mr. Antoski was glad to see “the old values are still there” as shown in the dance stories.
“I liked that human nature is very much two sides—the ugly side— then there’s that wonderful side; the compassionate side, the empathetic side, where you know, we show how good we can be,” Ms. Antoska said.
