“When ... the presenters expressed that [Shen Yun] can’t show this in China, I thought it was very, how do you say, impressive that they want to just show something about China that China doesn’t want to do, and I really appreciate the presenters explaining for me the story-lines and the history about China. While I know a little bit, I learned a lot in there about China too.”

“I don’t know much about Chinese choreography, but I like the synchronicity, and everything was perfect. ... Everything was in line, synchronized, and to perfection.”

“I would like to say a huge appreciation for the dedication to be able to train and practice that much, and the expression of the Chinese culture and try to teach us a little bit about Chinese culture and the Chinese history in the way they did, through dance. I really appreciate that.”

“What I take away is that I probably want to come back and see it next year because the presenters said that the story-line and the costumes and the choreography would change next year. So I want to come back.”
