Watching the dancers, “I felt relaxed and just drawn to the stage,” Mrs. Netters said. Mr. Netters said he felt “wide awake. It stimulated.”
The New York-based company performs classical Chinese dance and ethnic and folk dances from the many minority ethnicity of China.
Shen Yun’s website explains the art of classical Chinese dance. “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,” it reads.
“I liked the backdrop, the backdrop was excellent,” Mr. Netters said. Shen Yun uses and animated digital backdrop which displays changing vivid scenes from dance to dance. “When they had a different act, they enhanced it with the backdrop, the scenery. That actually puts you into that position, in the mindset that you are actually there.”
