DALLAS—Shen Yun Performing Arts’ last show in Dallas, a Dec. 18 matinee, was met with enthusiastic applause throughout the performances at the Winspear Opera House.
Kathy Willingham, a former board member of the Houston Cultural Arts Council, thought the show was “magnificent.”
Her sister bought her tickets as a gift, and Ms. Willingham said she wouldn’t trade them for anything. “It was wonderful, every second.”
The athleticism of the dancers impressed her. The male dancers in “Khata for the Gods,” a Tibetan folk dance, were particularly memorable. The Shen Yun program describes how the dancers “stomp, spin, and soar with joyful, vibrant energy,” when offering a traditional scarf to the gods as a sign of reverence and devotion.
“The young men took my breath away, because they were so strong, yet so poised,” Ms. Willingham said. “And the female dancers—exquisite, and perfection.”
