NEW YORK—Saturday’s final evening performance of Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company finished with thunderous applause, a standing ovation, and a curtain call. The performance at Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater was given before a nearly sold-out crowd.

Ian Canino, a child psychiatrist who works in the New York City public school system, said he found Shen Yun “fascinating.”

“It’s wonderful,” commented Mr. Canino. “It’s fascinating to watch. I love the dresses and the
scenery. It’s very pleasant.”

David Hall, a psychologist with Columbia University Presbyterian, said he was also impressed with the quality of the dancing, saying, “It’s excellent.”

“I like the group, they are very well coordinated,” said Mr. Hall. “I liked it a lot.”

The New York-based company aims to revive the age-old Chinese culture destroyed under communism China, using classical Chinese dance as its major medium of expression.
