LONDON—Shen Yun Performing Arts wowed a packed audience at The London Coliseum on Thursday, Apr. 12, in the first of its five shows in London.
The New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts returns to The London Coliseum for the second year running, on the final leg of the company’s European tour.
With a mission to revive 5,000 years of Chinese culture, Shen Yun’s colourful performance of classical Chinese dance and music was greeted with warm applause.
Audience members Philip George, a banker from Essex, and his wife Karen gave Shen Yun a five star rating. “It’s fantastic!” said Mrs. George. “A really good show; I'd recommend it to anyone.”
Mr. George particularly admired the choreography and the spirit of the dancers, who perform both perfectly synchronised dances as well as story-based dances highlighting traditional Chinese virtues.
“Can’t fault it really, the whole choreography has been so clever, and they’re all so passionate about what they do – really, really good to watch,” he said. “I was thinking how much they enjoy it; they just seem to be so passionate about it, [and] that comes across.”
Graham Smales, a civil engineer, and his daughter Debbie Smales, were also wowed by the synchronicity of the dancers.
