“I danced for about 11 years ... [Shen Yun] was just ... magical.”

“It was beautiful, and the sounds and the colors, and the ... color of the pink on the sleeves, and how they would meticulously catch the sleeves and then throw them again, without missing it.”

“The men were amazing ... the splits ... I’ve never seen a man be able to do that so well. It was amazing.”

“[To Shen Yun performers:] Keep it up, you’re amazing, and keep giving your gift to the world, because it really is a gift to us, and I loved, it was art, it was gorgeous.”
