NEW YORK—“It was like watching the movement of water and snowflakes, and the harmony of nature,” was how Cathy Bland experienced the dancing of Shen Yun Performing Arts at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater.

“It was just magnificent, awe-inspiring,” Ms. Bland said after the performance on Saturday.

Classical Chinese dance is at the heart of every Shen Yun performance. “Through expression of bearing and form, beautiful dance movements bring out the inner meaning of intrinsic thoughts and feelings, reflecting the peculiarities of human nature, the standard for human conduct, moral concepts, mental state, one’s value system, and so on,” Shen Yun’s website says.

Andre Bland, a real estate broker, attending the performance with his wife, said everything about it was special: “the choreography, the scenery, the dancers, the music, and the performers.”

“I think that the show is just fabulous, my compliments and great admiration for all that participated in the show,” he said, adding that he recommends everyone to see it.
