ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company held its second show in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Wednesday, March 6. The show attracted Chinese ophthalmologist Ms. Wang who came with her husband William Jones, an ophthalmologist too. Ms. Wang said she was wowed by the dancers consistently identical movements. The brilliant colors and luxuriant costumes stoked her ancestral pride.
She said that the whole show was very artistic. “Those jumps and tumbling movements demonstrated that the artists are highly skilled. It’s really eye opening.”
Their friend Ms. Yao said that after watching the show, she is proud of being Chinese. The show has strong Chinese character and is also very professional. Ms. Yao is herself a dancer, so she knows how difficult the techniques displayed by the Shen Yun dancers are.
She also praised the high tech backdrops which seamlessly blend into the stage. “The coordination between the backdrop and the movements of the dancers are extremely well-produced. I am very fond of it,” said Ms. Yao.
Ms. Wang said that she liked the Mongolian Bowl Dance which requires the dancers to balance bowls on top of their heads, and wondered whether adhesive were used to hold so many bowls. After she learned that it was purely the artists’ skill that allowed them to balance the bowls on their heads, she was really surprised.
Ms. Wang also praised Shen Yun’s music as “original, beautiful, and wonderful.” She went on to say it was a pity the musicians were performed in the orchestra pit, because she loves to see the Chinese instruments.
