| Dancer Ms. Paula Robles |
Paula Robles, a famous dancer and actress, watched the Shen Yun show with her husband following their friend's recommendation. "I really loved the show," Ms. Robles said. "One thing that caught my attention was the joy they show when they are dancing, which transmits its energy. Always with a smile, and they are beautiful.
"The technique is classic, beyond their traditional dances, this really makes them a company. We can see the unity between them all. ... You can say that what they convey touches the heart. Their joy is something that elevates [one's spirit]."

Mr. Villar, a director of financial projects in the Ministry of Economy and Production, and his wife, sat in the first row. Mr. Villar said, "I can see the great efforts that all the dancers are making. I've had the opportunity to come into contact with Chinese culture on various occasions, but this, really, I've never seen this before."
It was the spiritual message they perceived in the show that most impressed the couple, however. Mr. Villar talked about the performance Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution in this regard: "He was killed for his beliefs, and later it's like a divine force came to find him, I don't know how to describe it. This interested me greatly, I saw the spiritual theme here." The performance featured a practitioner of the Falun Gong discipline who was killed for his beliefs by agents of the Chinese Communist Party.
Mr. Villar added, "What I very much liked was the drummers, the dance of the drummers [Drummers of the Tang Court]. Really, I liked it a lot ... the coordination in the movements, how they hit the drums at the same time."
His wife was also highly impressed with the performance: "I like seeing this Chinese classical dance. I wasn't familiar with this before, and it stuns me to see these traditions, to find out more about Chinese culture," she said.
Mr. Adalberto Vicente Dias, Consul General of Cape Verde watched the Shen Yun show with his wife. He said, "Gorgeous! I like it very much! The colors are so expressive! I learned a lot about Chinese culture!" Both of them praised the background in one voice, "It was amazing!" "I have never seen anything like it before!"

| Professor Carlos Moreno of University of Patagonia |
Professor Carlos Moreno of University of Patagonia was most touched by the spiritual meaning of the Shen Yun show. He said, "It think it is great! It expressed the [Chinese] people's spirit. It is a profound faith. It comes from heaven." He added, "The Chinese culture was passed down from above. The show combined spirit and life and unfolded scenes of gods descending. The artists' spirit make you think of the inner characteristics of the Chinese nationality."
Professor Moreno was fascinated and impressed with the richness of the Chinese culture. He said the overall composition of the show was top level. "Such a professional show is a great undertaking! The artists must be fully devoted. Such a show wouldn't have been possible without long time training and effort."
