Crosby, an interior designer, and her children were entranced by the performance of the Plum Blossoms in Spring dance, which depicts courage and resilience.
“[The costumes were] absolutely beautiful: the detail, the colors, the combinations from one side of the color wheel to the other and pulling them together. They were so vibrant. It was amazing.”
“It was amazing how [Shen Yun] was able to correlate the screen and the live people together. It was completely in sync,” Crosby said.
Mike Cuicci, who works in real estate, and his family were also in the audience.
Mike’s impression of Shen Yun was—very strong, charismatic, beautiful, and very articulate.
“It was a beautiful performance and I loved the story that it told. And I also loved the visual aspects with the vivid colors and it was truly a treat,” he said.
Ciucci was also impressed with the Plum Blossom in Spring dance.
“The dancing told a story … and I could feel the passion and I could feel the strength of the dancing and how beautiful it was too,” he said.
“I think it’s wonderful to be allowed to be exposed to [China’s] culture because the culture’s been around for so long and here … in the United States we’re [not even] 400 years old … Chinese Culture [has] such a long heritage [and is] so strong and so powerful and so beautiful …,” Ciucci said.
Ciucci said that his exposure to Chinese culture and its heritage as depicted by Shen Yun’s performers was an awesome experience.
