The Finnish People Eagerly Await the Chinese Spectacular

Kaija Raty-Omar is the principal of Helsinki Let's Dance School. When she saw the posters and leaflets about the Chinese Spectacular, she was immediately attracted and decided to attend the show. Having seen the short DVD presentation of the Chinese Spectacular, Ms. Raty-Omar took the initiative to send the information to other dance schools, so that more people would know about the performance. That same day, she and two of her students bought tickets for the March 30 show and got third row seats.

A Chinese man from mainland China who is running a martial arts school happened to encounter staff members from the show sponsors putting up advertisements for the Chinese Spectacular. He said to them of his own accord, "I have more than one hundred students at my school. Give me some advertisements, and I will help you to put them up at my school. I will ask my students to attend the performance. There are Ballet dancers among my students. I will also go and see it. Traditional Chinese culture can hardly be seen nowadays in China."

A staff member of a Chinese Spectacular sponsor spoke to a gentleman on the train from Tampere to Helsinki. He told him about the Chinese Spectacular in Tampere. It so happened that the gentleman turned out to be the Mayor. He became interested and read the leaflet about the Spectacular, and said, "I will take my whole family to see it." Then he added, "I am having a meeting with several Members of Parliament in Helsinki. I will tell them about the performance." When they parted, he asked for more leaflets about the Chinese Spectacular.

Ms. Viola is a resident of Tampere Talo, and a music teacher. She bought tickets as soon as she learned about the performance. Government officials also looked forward to the arrival of the Divine Performing Arts. In addition to extending their greetings to the Divine Performing Arts and to recommending the Spectacular to the public, they all agreed that the performance was a rare opportunity for Finland!
