DPA Makes Professional Dancer SMILE and INSPIRED

Hello and welcome to the SOH Radio network.   My name is Grace Mann and it is again my privilege to bring you coverage of The Divine Performing Arts performance at the San Francisco Cupertino Flint Centre, on the 15^th January.

Patrick Gallineaux, a trained tap and ballet dancer, who is currently storming the ballroom and Latin dance scenes in the US, enthusiastically shares his insights on the DPA show.

Our in house reporter asks Patrick what he liked about the show:

When asked about the spirit of the performance, Patrick’s response was:

And Patrick’s favourite performance was: ……

When asked how he heard about The Divine Performing Arts show Patrick replied: …..

Meet Classical Chinese dance, an expressive and stunning art form that is millennia-old. It ranges from elegant to explosive including everything in between, built upon by generations of dedicated dancers through China’s history, to bring forth its uniqueness as it is known.

Is there another art form in the world that can boast such a long history, with such strong animated qualities and diversity of technique such as classical Chinese dance?

The distinctive ethnicity within and around China, endows the core of diversity that is drawn on to embody Chinese classical dance.

Chinese classical dance as it is know today, gives spectacular portrayal of culture and history, its many cherished myths and legends of yesterday, to the stories and realities of the China today.

Chinese dance also known as Chinese traditional dance so too exalts and embodies the virtues of China’s five millennia long civilization, as well as messages of morals, righteousness and loyalty.

The visual effects of Chinese dance depict an essence of purity, goodness and beauty. Rich in variation from fistfuls of chopsticks beaten rhythmically about the male dancers bodies, and the imitated movements of horses and eagles, to the grace and precision of twirling female dancers with tea cups balanced atop the head. The colours, costumes and flowing materials incorporated into the different dancers are as much a part of Chinese classical dance as the dancers themselves.

The Divine Performing Arts companies commenced their fourth bi-lingual global tours on 19^th December 2008. These DPA companies are re-birthing the authentic Chinese culture and history through Chinese classical dances, songs and symphony on the center stage.  However, it is apparent that Divine Performing Arts has upset the Chinese communist party, the regime that has dictated China and its people for the last 60 years. Regardless of the many forms of interferences by the CCP through its world-wide consulates, DPA continues to have resounding success and consistent world-wide accolades.

The Divine Performing Arts is currently in Montreal from 16^th – 18^th January

The next destinations for the DPA include: Seattle on the 18^th January, Portland the 20^th January and NY – Westchester on the 23^rd January.

To experience a delightful evening filled with splendour and hope, majesty and authenticity, treat yourself to either a matinee or evening performance of The Divine Performing Arts, coming soon to a city near you.
