Ms. Chang said the dancers had solid training and skills. She could tell from their difficult and precise movements that they had worked hard. "They couldn't have accomplished this without five to ten years of training...Their skills must have come from very special training."

Ms. Chang Shumei, a renowned Taiwanese artist, said that the performance was "astounding to the heart." Ms. Chang is also an art professor at National Taichung University. She previously studied dance and choreographed and taught dance five decades ago. As a dance professional herself, she particularly noted the technique of the DPA performers.

Ms. Chang said that the gestures were very uniquely choreographed; the music suited the atmosphere; the costumes were made with dedication; the colors and headdresses were also matched "perfectly."

Ms. Chang has been to Xinjiang and Tibet to see their folk dances. Based on memory, she opened an art exhibition in Taiwan with the theme, "flower dance." She said that DPA was completely different. Upon seeing such a "perfect" show, she received inspiration for her work. "It was very wonderful. I think I am very fortunate to see such a flawless show," she said.

Mr. Chen Sung, President of Carving TW, arrived at the theater one hour ahead of time. He read the DPA brochure carefully, and expressed his admiration for the thorough arrangements in promotion and the setting at the theater.

Mr. Chen said the DPA show fully unfolded the five-thousand-year divine culture of China and exposed the persecution of Falun Gong. He noted that the promotion of theology, the attention to different ethnic groups and the persecuted group were fully shown in the program. He praised the well organized and planned promotion of the DPA show. He had seen advertisements on the roads in many towns and in magazines. Mr. Chen is convinced that DPA's achievements in restoring classical culture will be obvious soon.

"Beautiful! Beautiful!" This was the first response of renowned artist, art collector and critic Wei Jui-jung. She said, "It is very pleasant to watch! It is such a spiritual treat! It is indeed!" She asked the reporter, "Why can't such a show be on stage in Mainland China? Why not? It is so healthy and positive!" She hoped that the DPA show would have a long tour in Taiwan, saying that it would help make the Taiwanese people become more positive, healthy and artistic.

Photographer Mr. Wu Cheng-neng and his wife had their picture taken in the lobby. Mr. Wu sincerely praised the DPA for touching his heart. He said that the show was of such a high realm both in the aspects of art and spirit.
