Former Congressman Bill Hudnut attended the performance. He called both the solo acts and the synchronization of the dancers "a wonder to behold."
Large-scale choreographed dances are at the core of Shen Yun's performances. He said the dancing was magnificent and "choreographed to perfection."
The former Congressman and four-term mayor of Indianapolis now teaches at Georgetown University. He recently stepped down as mayor of Chevy Chase, MD. Mr. Hudnut is also chairman of the board of the Landon School Symphonette, an orchestra that combines professional musicians and high school students.
Mr. Hudnut experienced more than just the visual beauty of Shen Yun's performances. After watching the performance and learning more about Shen Yun performing arts, he said he began to understand the magnitude of the work that Shen Yun is engaged in:
"I began to understand the effort that is being made to recapture some of the historic values in the Chinese tradition, and leap over the Cultural Revolution with all its negative aspects toward culture, and restore to modern thinking the importance of the values that are represented by Falun Dafa."
"And it all added up, I think, to a very important presentation, or affirmation, of the values that must go back 3,000 years in Chinese culture."
