“Fabulous! It’s very nice!” said Al Peterson, owner of a construction company in Homer Glen, Illinois, of the matinee of Shen Yun Performing Arts on Saturday, April 21.

Mr. Peterson said he found the entire show excellent including, “the costumes, the dancing, and music.”

Mr. Peterson and his wife Phyllis have traveled to China but said Shen Yun is different from the performances they saw there. “It’s more delicate, ” said Phyllis.

Mrs. Peterson was intrigued by the togetherness of the dancers and cited the dance Lotus Leaves as an example.

She praised the Lotus Leaves dance, “What intrigues me the most is how everybody is so in tune, and there isn’t one step out. It is just great! Just great!”

Shen Yun Performing Arts, based in New York, has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world, with a mission to revive traditional Chinese culture. Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company will perform in Chicago through April 22.
