WASHINGTON—Mrs. Cindy Moor, owner of the Internet Company Moor Enterprises and Dana Moor, her high school aged daughter, attended the Shen Yun Performing Arts show at the Kennedy Center Opera House on Aug. 25.

Dana and her mother had gotten tickets for the Shen Yun show from an aunt who works for the United Nations and had seen the show a day earlier.

"My aunt and my mother came last night and they loved it so much that they insisted we come," said Dana.

Dana has been interested for years interested in Eastern spirituality,

She was impressed with the choreography and how the entire show was put together, a study of ancient China’s divinely-inspired heritage, portrayed in classical Chinese dance and music accompanied by a full orchestral ensemble, a trio of vocalists and solo musicians.

"To see the characters come together with the dancing and colors and art … it’s so amazing. And I find that it’s something that’s not always easy to do and it doesn’t always come together. To see this come together so well, and to show such a great message is amazing," she said.

Dana's was so impressed the words just spilled out, “ All these words that you can only use to describe something this powerful, because it’s a spiritual experience as well, it’s something that you get to feel, as well as see, and hear."

Mrs. Moor described how her aunt had understood Shen Yun's mission, "I think that, my aunt, she was very interested in the fact that she went to a nonviolent conference, using art as a medium for non violence ... ."

Dana thought that the Shen Yun was clear in its message, "This was the most comprehensive and mystical and amazing way to get out a message. I’ve never seen dance and sound go so much into what people believe."

"It was definitely shown in their body movements, how much they [the dancers] believed in it. It was like they were throwing themselves toward something amazing."

Mrs. Moor agreed that being at the show and the subsequent reception was most beneficial.

"I learned something I didn’t know anything about ... I knew there was persecution in China and I knew about that, but I didn’t know that this whole art form isn’t practiced there. That surprised me because it’s so amazing. I enjoyed it very much and thank you for hosting this."
