“I think what it does is it gives people a chance to get out and then be refreshed to see something as great as this right here. And then I think it gives everyone hope again,” said Andrew Miller, a police officer.
“It was just beautiful. It just gave you a real sense of peace while you watched,” Mrs. Miller said.
“It is tranquil and the tranquility of the whole thing is just from start to finish. It’s not one of those shows like, oh man, it’s done,” Mr. Miller agreed.
The couple applauded the dancers for their skill. They were in awe at the synchronicity of the performers on stage.
“It’s amazing just how everything is all done at the same time. We watched the guys in unison, and when we’re watching the ladies and the guys with their moves, and everything’s going all the same time. It’s really neat,” Mr. Miller said.
“I’m just sitting there watching the choreography, how they did the background, incorporating the background. It was just fantastic,” Mr. Miller said.
Emily Green, a lawyer, was also in the audience this evening.
“Everything was just so beautiful. The next scene kept wowing you more than the last,” Ms. Green said.
“I thought it was beautiful. I wish that people knew more about the traditional culture and that there was more respect and recognition of it,” she said.
“In modern times, we’re so preoccupied with the mundane tasks of lives and our devices and just, you know, not really living in the moment not really celebrating life, but we should,” she added.
One of her favorite pieces in the performance was the water sleeves dance.
“It was just almost like magic. Like they were floating on air and they were so graceful. And it was very peaceful to watch,” Ms. Green said.
“The strength they showed, their skill, I can’t even imagine everything that they’ve done. I have so much respect for them,” she said.
