(Clearwisdom.net) AUGUSTA, Ga.--Artists, executives, soldiers, and people from the financial industry sat in the VIP seats at the Bell Auditorium in Augusta to see New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts.

The weather had been very threatening early in the day, but a wind blew away many of the clouds and let the sun come out for the first time in a while.

Ms. Adams, originally from England, worked in banking before she retired. Her daughter, a banker, brought her and several colleagues to the VIP seats in the orchestra section.

Ms. Adams said of the Shen Yun dancers, "They looked as though they were floating, almost as though they were very smoothly ice skating. It's just extremely beautiful and tranquil. It's been a long time since I've seen anything so graceful and vastly beautiful. I'm just blown away by it."

Ms. Adams said she didn't have any special insight into the performing arts and was just saying what she had been thinking and experiencing while watching "this beautiful, beautiful show."

During intermission, Ms. Jones, also from the banking industry, said, "I love it. ... They are so graceful and beautiful. The costumes are just wonderful. They move so fast when they have to move fast." She also commented on how graceful and smooth their movements were.

She admired the unity and coordination the dancers showed. She said she was glad her group had come to learn about Chinese culture.
