PHILADELPHIA—Esteemed professors and medical doctors David C. Levin and Stanley Baum attended the Shen Yun Performing Arts showing at Philadelphia’s Merriam Theater on Tuesday night, complimenting the world-renowned artistic company.
“The dancing is wonderful,” said Dr. Baum, who has many awards and honors and was formerly chairman of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Involving complete fundamental trainings, a broad range of movements and postures, and “very difficult jumping and tumbling techniques,” classical Chinese dance, which is at the heart of a Shen Yun performance, “is one of the most comprehensive dance systems in the world,” explains the company’s website. Accompanying the dancers, who are adorned in handcrafted, colorful costumes, are a unique orchestra, award-winning vocalists, and digital backdrops.
“The music is great, the scenery is great,” said Dr. Baum’s wife.
