SEATTLE—Classical Chinese dance is an ancient art form, but it has only become popular in recent years. There is no doubt that its growing popularity is due to Shen Yun Performing Arts.
As someone who used to dance, Ms. Dobbs understands the work it has taken for the artists of Shen Yun to reach the level they are at today.
“It was really beautiful watching the progression and the history of things. I used to dance myself, so I know how much training went into all of that. And I think it was just very well put together,” said Ms. Dobbs, who is a business owner.
“It was beautiful and lively, and the performers just made it look effortless.
“I think it’s extremely important to keep everyone’s cultures alive. It’s easy to be forgotten over time if someone’s not carrying it on,” Ms. Dobbs said.
Shen Yun’s use of its digital backdrop is patented. The versatility of technology allows the set to change scenes in the blink of an eye, giving the stage endless possibilities.
“It was beautiful and the way that they did the transition from stage to the screen was really fun to watch,” Ms. Dobbs said.
Ms. Dobbs came to the performance with her husband, and she shared that she'd like to bring her daughter next time as well.
