On Saturday, June 21, in the grand procession in Chicago's Chinatown, three young practitioners' dance performance attracted many passersby. The young practitioners continued to dance all the way to the parade's end point. Originally it was not planned for them to go so far, but they happily danced the entire way.

On Friday, June 20, during the two performances held at Federal Plaza and Thompson Center, young practitioners performed a lively dance. They came from three different states in the Midwest, but they formed a wonderful team. They only had time to prepare for a few days, but it turned out wonderfully. During those days, they played together, rehearsed together, and read Zhuan Falun together.

In the two-day activity, they won a lot of warm praise from spectators, and through their lively and beautiful dance, they left a strong impression of the beauty of Falun Dafa in people's hearts.
