This was my first time seeing the Classical Chinese Dance performance. It is nothing if not totally remarkable. The grace of the dancers, the uniformity of movement, so seamless and effortless shows the skill involved and the discipline necessary to be in tune with mind and body. All of that is an artistic feast for the senses. The rich colors, the symmetry , balance make a statement that this is an experience not to be missed. I was honored to be present and thank you.

Everything I had hoped - and much more. I'm a second generation American originating from Korea, and although it isn't my direct lineage - learning of the robust and inspiring cultures of China over the centuries was an experience I will carry with me for a lifetime. I felt so connected to the stories, and you could sense the spirit on stage with the performers. They emulated the culture and story of China's once captivating and uplifting lifestyle of which I never knew to be so wonderful. It also brought to light the darkness that has fallen upon this culture under the Communist Party of China. The soprano singers captivated my heart, and made me feel so deeply for their words. I look to encourage all of my peers to attend and witness such an enriching, educational, and emotional performance. Congratulations to the entire team of Shen Yun for enduring all hardships they have faced along this ten year journey. My utmost spirit is with you in continuation of this enchanting production!Athena E Cook XEM SHEN YUN Ở Rochester (Rochester Auditorium Theatre), January 2017

I had the privilege of seeing Shen Yun last night. I was particularly moved by the Falon Dafa pieces. While hard to watch, they were beautiful in portraying kindness and compassion and indeed, the opposites of those qualities. It is my hope that as people experience Shen Yun they will take away a moment of wonder about Falon Dafa, and discover some further humanity. The costuming was incredible, the dances were mesmerizing, the music was amazing and the experience was genuinely one of a kind.Iris Black XEM SHEN YUN Ở Rochester (Rochester Auditorium Theatre), January 2017

After watching featured videos I expected more acrobatic dances than it was - disappointing part. The orchestra and music were phenomenal. Also I found unusual impressive connection between screen and stage.Natali, January 2017

pure POETRY IN MOTION; the music was fantastic; the dances gave you a sense of intense raw energy, you felt the emotion of the dance through the dancers. Loved the way the dancers came out of the backdrop Can't wait till next year.Glenna, January 2017

I saw the first show in San Diego and it was very good. I understand that people want the best for themselves and don't need others trying to control their lives so once again as I sit and watch those who work so hard to perform and express their belief I let go of any prejudice or criticizing spirits that interfere with understanding and see it from where the performers stand. It's easy for me to surrender to the splendor of the beauty and choreography that is presented in a way that takes the mind and heart back in time with stories and legends. Liberty is free from oppression and the truth makes us free. The performers were excellent and the ladies were talented, adorned with beautiful apparel and had a smile that could light up any cloudy day. This world needs to get a little wiser, there are enough destroyers and criticizers. I congratulate everyone for their effort and I'm looking forward to the 2018 Shen Yun show in Escondido Ca.David Sutton XEM SHEN YUN Ở Escondido (California Center for the Arts, Escondido), January 2017

I have come to learn that "Shen Yun" refers to the Divine beauty within every individual—the subtleties of one's every movement—the expressions of one's body language...and the True beauty of every soul. According to Taoist and Buddhist philosophy we are all One. We are all from the Divine. In my opinion Shen Yun is the celebration and creative expression of God's creation (including us). Watching the performance was absolutely mesmerizing for me. The sets, the costumes, the amazing dancers....so much grace and beauty in every movement! I was appalled and shocked to hear that this show can’t be seen in China under the Communist Party regime. I cannot understand WHY they see traditional culture as a threat to its power. Even more disturbing is that this has been going on for decades. The government has tried to destroy culture and does not tolerate any form of human expression including music, art, dance and religious practice. This is very upsetting for me as art and human expression is what makes us unique...these are gifts and qualities from God that ought to be respected and highly regarded. Why should this be repressed? In my opinion this is simply criminal and morally wrong. We must all take it upon ourselves to raise awareness of the oppression suffered by our brothers and sisters around the world. I know I will. Keep up the great work Shen Yun Performing Arts. I admire and respect all the hard work, passion and dedication you have put into manifesting this theatrical production. Lots of love and best wishes for continued success! I will be back again next year!! -Vinita PuriVinita Puri XEM SHEN YUN Ở Mississauga (Living Arts Centre), January 2017
