On May 11, 2002, practitioners from Washington DC gathered at the lawn in front of the Capitol Hill and had group practices, sending forth righteous thoughts and performing dances and songs to warmly celebrate World Falun Dafa Day and the 10th anniversary of the public introduction of Falun Dafa.
The weather was nice with sunshine and light cool breezes throughout the whole day. Thus there came many visitors. Every one of the practitioners took the chance to introduce Dafa and clarify the truth to the visitors.
Besides practicing the exercises and sending righteous thoughts, the practitioners also performed many programs. There were Chinese and English poets reading, electronic piano playing "Ru Meng Ling" (Like a Dream) and "Deng Gui Tu" (Return Journey), and a little practitioner recited Teacher's poem, "Foretelling." The most exciting performances were the "Dragon Dance" by over ten male practitioners and the "Fairy Dance" by seven young female practitioners who dressed in ancient traditional white costumes. Accompanied with the music, their dance was like flying in the wind and floating as a goddess. Many people watched and gave them long applause.
The celebration finished successfully at sundown.
