Epoch Times: Shen Yun "A wonder to behold" Says Former Congressman
January 20, 2010
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." Posting date: 1/21/2010
