Cool! Thanks ❤. California here.
Thank YOU! Glad that you liked it.
It's a nice start for Stanford. I hope each future Viennese Waltz Ball can be simplified to highlight the waltz itself. These dances mixed in a little too much silly modern dance. It's not too difficult to make the waltz work, almost as simple as one, two, three. The lighting also might be more subtle, and would it be too difficult for Stanford to bring in a real orchestra? Check out how Andre Rieu presents the Blue Danube, and you'll be on your way to a celebration of the waltz in all its beauty.
This is too much like show biz. I miss the earlier years opening performances. Those ones had real class.
Not beautiful. I think they could have lifted the ladies by the waist and not under their rear ends.
Where a gymnastic display meets the ballroom!. Spectacular as this is, I much prefer earlier Stanford offerings where the elegance of the waltz was more dominant. Ah well, this trend is what I as a mere Aussie expect of America.

For everyone interested in introducing Chinese culture to the West, here is a short video that explains how certain must-have food items for Lunar New Year's Eve symbolize good luck: czcams.com/video/0kbyVf2K5e0/video.html
Why is the horizontal phrase at the top not written from right to left?
The horizontal phrase has been influenced by modernization. Nowadays the Chinese language is typed horizontally from left to right. However, some horizontal phrases for Lunar New Year are still written from right to left, based on the tradition. It really depends on whether the calligrapher would choose the traditional way or the modern way. Both ways are accepted.

You mean the swan? It's a wild swan.
I really love Cherry Blossom Trees😍
Me too. Thanks for watching!
I loved this video and the matched music. Very well paired - the slowness of spring to kick in.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Very happy to know that you enjoyed this short video.
BTW, the music is Spring Waltz by Frédéric François Chopin. It's one of my favorite piano pieces.
Very beautiful scenes and very matching music! Thanks for making this. The font can be darker color, would be in better contrast.
Yes, you are right. However, CZcams doesn't allow font changes after uploading. I will keep this in mind while producing my next video. Thanks for your helpful advice!
Because of your comment, the producer has found a better way to display subtitles. Please look at the subtitles in this new video: m.czcams.com/video/NBzxQW57QvQ/video.html Thank you very much for your feedback!
