Former Dancers Impressed By Shen Yun’s Technique, Precision
Sisters Rebecca Patterson (L) and Jennifer Patterson, both former dancers, enjoyed the Shen Yun performance at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Canada, on Jan. 23, 2018. “Technically it was beautiful,” said Jennifer. “It was almost like watching actors as well as dancers. They weren’t just performing [dance] but they were telling stories. I liked that. I liked the emotion conveying all the stories.” (Dongyu Teng/The Epoch Times)

“It was fantastic, stunning, spectacular. The precision was incredible ... Really awesome.”

“[The dancers] were amazing. The technique was unbelievable. I was very, very impressed. [As a former dancer] I can’t watch dance without really scrutinizing the technique. To me it was amazing. ... When they were dancing all together ... they were very precise. They worked well as a team.”

“Wonderful—[the dancers’] facial expressions and their emotional portrayal of the storylines.”

“It was an introduction to traditional Chinese dance that I’ve never seen before. To me, as a dancer from a whole different world, it was a beautiful eye-opening. And also the cultural context of modern China, which is foreign to me. ... To learn about the oppression that’s been going on is important, an important message [referring to two dance stories depicting the persecution of the adherents of the Falun Dafa spiritual practice by the communist regime in China].”
