LONGBEACH, Calif.—Deanne Brown, a former professional ballet dancer, was impressed by Shen Yun Performing Arts as it performed in Long Beach, California. The combination of grace and athleticism of the performers was spectacular, she said.
Ms. Brown was attending the performance at the Terrace Theater with Richard Newton, a retired firefighter.
“To have strength is one thing, to have agility and performance quality is another. And I really think that [the dancers] combine the two quite well. The precision … you can tell they’re very well-rehearsed, they’re very precise in their movements,” Ms. Brown said.
Shen Yun presents “China before communism,” with a repertoire of story-based Chinese classical dance and music.
