“We love the passion for dancing, for the Chinese culture over the years, all the stories. It’s very, very precious and very well-staged. ... We’ve been [to see Shen Yun] three or four times.”

“I love the orchestra because I love music. ... It’s not just the variety of the dancing, but the music varies—the music over the 5,000 years.”

“What were the words that we were taught there [in the lyrics]? Music is a gift from heaven to nourish the body and the soul, and helps in healing. It’s not just entertaining, that’s not the right word; it really fills the mind and the soul.”

“So satisfying, so nourishing. It’s spiritually nourishing.”
