    Magnetic Moments

    P1050709(1) Copy

    I have the world in my locker—the world that I have seen. Sometimes, I visit it before stepping into the dance classroom.

    As I open the locker door, dangling from the ceiling is a constellation of magnets, trinkets I collected during my travels across the globe.

    Two moose from Minnesota, and a cross-eyed sheep from New Zealand; the Eiffel Tower from Paris, and Big Ben from London; a girl wearing a kimono, and a mischievous little leprechaun; Chinese tamales from Taiwan, and a block of cheese from Wisconsin. Each have stories to tell, and memories that stick—literally.

    I have the world in my locker, but I am still missing a piece. I need a magnet from China, then my world will be complete.

    Shen Yun Performing Arts is the world's premier classical Chinese dance and music company, established in New York in 2006. It performs classical Chinese dance, ethnic and folk dance, and story-based dance, with orchestral accompaniment and solo performers. For 5,000 years, divine culture flourished in the land of China. Through breathtaking music and dance, Shen Yun is reviving this glorious culture. Shen Yun, or 神韻, can be translated as: “The beauty of divine beings dancing.”
