RALEIGH, N.C.—The artistry of a Shen Yun Performing Arts production is one that almost all audience members marvel at, but perhaps none more than classically trained performing artists themselves.
“It made me cry. It was very emotional for me because I danced all most of my life. And I thought it was beautiful, the colors and everything, and the synchronicity was amazing,” said Victoria Bradley, a retired ballet dancer, who saw the performance with family member John Price, a lawyer, at the Memorial Auditorium at Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts on Jan. 18.
“They’re amazing. Their flexibility is just incredible and the synchronicity,” said Ms. Bradley. “It’s extremely hard. I mean, not everybody can do it. It takes a lot of training and dedication and commitment.”
“Oh, I love it. It’s so magical. I love the colors. It’s so colorful, and everything just seems to be coming to life on stage,” she said. “And to me, it’s just, it’s very, I’m very touched whenever I watch it.”
“I just, I have no words, I’m speechless. The talent is immense,” she said.
“The movement was very beautiful,” she said. “All the dresses and the sleeves made it look like water, but also a flower at the same time, so it kind of brought everything to life.”
“Everything down to the choreography and the composition, it just felt like everything was connected perfectly, and as they were dancing, it seemed like every single movement was just articulated perfectly. It was beautiful,” she said.
