Minghui School students and Falun Gong practitioners performed on the stage

Shortly after 1 p.m., students from six to 12 years old from the Minghui School performed on the stage. Accompanied by a singing female practitioner, the dance caught the spectators' attention. When the dance ended, the audience applauded enthusiastically and remarked, "They are so lovely."

Next, the Tianzi Dance Troupe, made up of female practitioners from Tokyo, performed "The Thousand Hands of Bodhisattva Guanyin." During the performance, viewers exclaimed, "Nice," "Great," and "Beautiful." After the dance, the practitioners demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises.

After the performance, the male and female hosts came on stage and raved about the performance, expressing their regret at only being able to see it from the wings.

"Where do you usually perform? Where can we see you perform again?" the host asked.

The leader of the Tianzi Dance Troupe answered, "We usually meet in the Shinjuku area. Actually, our skills are far from the famous Divine Performing Arts of New York, which will tour the world and will come to Shinjuku in mid-February. Please don't miss this opportunity to see this genuine, traditional Chinese performance."
