Reviews
The dance performance was decent; the movements were fluid, dynamic, and full of tension. The dancers were emotionally invested, the rhythm was precisely controlled, and the lighting and music were perfectly integrated. The overall atmosphere was good, and there was audience interaction. It was slightly overpriced. The buffet was average; it was mostly just food from the pedestrian street.
The arrangement was excellent. I contacted Emma beforehand, and she reminded me a day earlier about how to collect the tickets at the front desk. Although the dinner portions were not large, they were sufficient and hygienic. The performances were even better, with song and dance performances from different ethnic groups, making it great value for money!
Had issues redeeming the tickets as the front desk wouldn't accept the QR code. Providing the name didn't work either, and entry was denied. It took a long time to resolve, delaying entry by half an hour.
