INDIANAPOLIS, In.—Eric Bley, a mechanist and dance instructor, watched Shen Yun Performing Arts with his family at the Clowes Memorial Hall, Butler Arts Center on Feb. 3. Mr. Bley said that he had been waiting a long time to see Shen Yun.
“As soon as the curtain rose, I almost cried,” he said.
As a dancer, Mr. Bley had high praises for Shen Yun’s performers.
“I can see the passion and every movement,” said Mr. Bley. “Everything matters to what they’re doing … I felt like they were right there. I feel like I was on stage with them. As they’re dancing, their energy is coming right up to me!”
“The emotions that they brought through their dancing was just powerful, very powerful!” said Mr. Bley. He also said that he found the choreography unique and different from the dance style he was accustomed to.
Mr. Bley was also impressed by Shen Yun’s patented animated backdrop.
“I didn’t expect all that,” he said. “It was seamless.”
“They nailed it,” he said, adding that the stories and emotions were clearly portrayed.
“I really enjoyed the message of creation,” said Mr. Bley. “I was very pleased that that was in there many times. And the fight we have against evil, right? The good and evil—we still know that today. That’s always the fight in our soul, and thank God we have … a creator that designed us a specific way.”
