Shen Yun Dancers Bring ‘Magic to the stage’

CLERMONT-FERRAND, France—Marie Legile, accompanied by her two daughters Mila and Suzy, came to see Shen Yun Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at the Maison de la Culture.

"I think the set is magnificent. It's really gorgeous! The colors are superb, the dancers are very graceful. How the dancers move is different from what I have seen up to now. Everything is in a nice sync with the orchestra. A real treat for the eyes and ears," said Ms. Legiel.

The show was quite a surprise for Ms. Legile. "I expected it to be very colorful, very beautiful to see, but I did not expect this level of professionalism. I think the dance ensemble brings magic to the stage, be it the men or women."  

Among the different scenes presented in the first part of the show, Ms. Legile remembered the dance My Beloved Yi Village. “I particularly appreciated the dance with the landscape of rows of cultures on the the screen, where the dancers blended with the colors and were part of the landscape.

"It felt like the landscape was shifting. It blended fully into the beauty of dance."
