SEATTLE—Tanuja Joshi, Sanika Joshi, and Abhay Joshi saw Shen Yun Performing Arts on April 2 at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall.
“Pure perfection, elegance, grace—flawless performance, execution. Grand music,” said Tanuja, a professor.
“I was really impressed by the Chinese culture. I think it should be preserved and promoted,” Tanuja said.
“I was blown away by the symmetry of all the dancers and how perfectly they’re all hitting. It was so synchronous. It’s amazing,” said Sanika, a software engineer.
Tanuja shared that she liked the dance, “Scholarly Affection,” because of the young lady insisting that she get an education.
“I can imagine how much hard work and long hours they must have put in to get this level of performance. I’m really impressed by that,” Tanuja said.
With 5,000 years of history and literature to draw from, Shen Yun is able to put on an all-new production every year.
“I’m a technology guy, so I love the integration of technology with the reality. It’s so seamless. So beautifully done,” said Mr. Joshi, a teacher.
“It’s so perfect you can’t even tell it’s live in a good way. It’s so well done,” Sanika said.
Sanika is a singer, and her father, Mr. Joshi, plays the violin.
“You learn a lot about Chinese culture through dance, and the music is enriching. It’s one of the best two hours I’ve spent in a long time,” Sanika said.
